Hydrogenation of Bilayer Graphene via Birch-Type Reaction Begins from the Edges

Caption

The images show a graphene flake before (a), two minutes (b), and eight minutes (c), after exposure to a solution of lithium and liquid ammonia (Birch-type reaction). Graphene gets gradually hydrogenated starting from the edges. (Reprinted with permission from Zhang X. et al., JACS, Copyright 2016 American Chemical Society)
