Tailoring the adsorption properties of 2D materials for targeted chemical processes is a central challenge in surface science. In particular, modulating hydrogen binding on graphene has strong relevance for catalysis and energy applications. In this study, we investigate hydrogen chemisorption across ten distinct moir\u00e9 superstructures formed by graphene on various metal substrates combining density functional theory (DFT) calculations with detailed analysis of local geometric and electronic modulations induced by the moir\u00e9 patterns. The results reveal that local strain and periodic variation in charge redistribution within moir\u00e9 regions can enhance<\/em> hydrogen adsorption affinity in specific sites, compared to flat graphene. This study demonstrates how moir\u00e9 engineering provides a route to spatially tune reactivity on graphene and could guide design of hybrid 2D systems with enhanced catalytic capability.<\/p>\n You can find this work published in:<\/p>\n Moir\u00e9-Induced Enhanced Hydrogen Adsorption on Graphene<\/strong>, D.
