I want to create H-terminated graphene surface for depositing lipid monolayer. HF will etch the graphene surface. Any idea about getting H-terminated surface or formation of lipid monolayer on graphene?
Dear Ahmad Kenaan according to the relevant article cited below, hydrogen passivation is an important method for stabilizing a specific graphene edge. Please have a look at this paper:

Unfortunately this paper has not been posted as public full text on RG, and the authors don't have RG profiles. Perhaps you can access the full text through your institution.
