Abstract
Muon-spin relaxation (μSR) spectroscopy has let an understanding of the hydrogen interactions with graphene, providing insights for hydrogen storage technologies based on graphene-based compounds. We report an μSR study on the reduced graphene oxide (rGO, a product of ®Graphenea) at 300 K. Spontaneous muon-spin precession is not observed under the high statistic zero-field measurement. Instead, the spectra show a typical muon diffusion with a small fraction of muon experiencing dipolar interactions with neighboring protons. Measurements under longitudinal field conditions yield the obtained hyperfine field (Bhyp) a way much lower than the required field to recover free muonium, demonstrating a radical formation. Moreover, a noticable ratio of captured muoniums (~35%) in the sample illustrates strong interactions between hydrogen and rGO.
