Abstract

We investigate the effect of hydrogen on adsorption of hydrocarbon molecules on graphene with density functional theory (DFT) calculations. In this study, we calculate the binding energies of hydrogen molecule, carbon atom and other hydrocarbon fragments such as CHx (x=1, 2, 3, 4) on graphene to find the most stable adsorption site. Then, to study the effect of hydrogen, we investigate the adsorption of hydrocarbon fragments in the presence of hydrogen atoms on graphene.
