Generation and Analysis of Tritium-Substituted Methane

Demonstration of tritium adsorption on graphene

“…Since this is the first time the effect of tritium on graphene is measured, no possible outcome could be excluded beforehand. For example, tritium could react with the carbon from graphene to form tritiated methane, 34 thus damaging or destroying the graphene layer. It is therefore necessary to distinguish between vacancy-type and sp 3 -type defects.…”
