The detailed mechanisms behind the interaction of atomic hydrogen with graphitic surfaces and the formation of H2 molecules on these substrates have attracted much attention in the last decades because of their possible relevance in astrophysics, nuclear fusion, hydrogen storage and carbon-based nanotechnology. Here we summarize and critically analyze experimental and theoretical results within the field, with the aim of elucidating the complicated processes occurring in these systems.

Abstract

The detailed mechanisms behind the interaction of atomic hydrogen with graphitic surfaces and the formation of H2 molecules on these substrates have attracted much attention in the last decades because of their possible relevance in astrophysics, nuclear fusion, hydrogen storage and carbon-based nanotechnology. Here we summarize and critically analyze experimental and theoretical results within the field, with the aim of elucidating the complicated processes occurring in these systems.
