Oxygen Effect on Hydrogen Retention in Graphites

Oxygen addition drastically increases hydrogen retention in graphites.

Oxygen Effect on Hydrogen Retention in Graphites

We've investigated how oxygen presence in hydrogen plasma affects retention in graphites. Turnes out, addition of a small concentration of oxygen leads to a tremendous increas in retention, even when ion irradiation energy is close to 0, or when irradiating graphites with only electrons.
