Abstract

H2 atmosphere is often involved in growth and application of two-dimensional (2D) atomic crystals, and it is of great importance to understand interaction of the 2D materials with H2 molecules. Here, a full graphene layer and a full hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) layer grown on Pt(111) were exposed to H2 atmosphere, which were investigated by in situ near ambient pressure X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and quasi in situ ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy. We confirm the occurrence of hydrogen intercalation of the graphene and h-BN overlayers in ambient pressure H2. The hydrogen intercalation in 0.1 Torr H2 at room temperature and hydrogen desorption in 0.1 Torr H2 at 200 °C are fully reversible on the graphene/Pt(111) and h-BN/Pt(111) surfaces. Furthermore, hydrogen desorption on the graphene/Pt(111) and h-BN/Pt(111) surfaces was found to happen at lower temperature than that on the Pt(111) surface due to the graphene and h-BN cover effect.
