摘要

Graphene as a two-dimensional material is prone to hydrocarbon contaminations,which can significantly alter its intrinsic electrical properties.Herein,we implement a facile hydrogenation-dehydrogenation strategy to remove hydrocarbon con-taminations and preserve the excellent transport properties of monolayer graphene.Using electron microscopy we quantitatively characterized the improved cleanness of hydrogenated graphene compared to untreated samples.In situ spectroscopic in-vestigations revealed that the hydrogenation treatment promoted the adsorption of water at the graphene surface,resulting in a protective layer against the re-deposition of hydrocarbon molecules.Additionally,the further dehydrogenation of hydrogenated graphene rendered a more pristine-like basal plane with improved carrier mobility compared to untreated pristine graphene.Our findings provide a practical post-growth cleaning protocol for graphene with maintained surface cleanness and lattice integrity to systematically carry a range of surface chemistry in the form of a well-performing and reproducible transistor.
