The conversion of graphene to graphane is of high importance from a technological and scientific point of view. This article is a review is a article.It has been collected different informations from the different articles. From the review we found here a scalable method for the hydrogenation of graphene based on thermal exfoliation of oxide in a hydrogen atmosphere under high pressure (60-150 bar) and temperature (200-500°C). This method does not require a plasma source and is able to produce gram quantities of the material.Graphite, archaically referred to as plumbago, is a crystalline form of the element carbon with its atoms arranged in a hexagonal structure. It occurs naturally in this form and is the most stable form of carbon under standard conditions. Under high pressures and temperatures it converts to diamond. Graphite is used in pencils and lubricants. It is a good conductor of heat and electricity. Its high conductivity makes it useful in electronic products such as electrodes, batteries, and solar panels. Graphene is an allotrope of carbon consisting of a single layer of atoms arranged in a two-dimensional honeycomb lattice. The name is a portmanteau of graphite and the suffix -ene, reflecting the fact that the allotrope of carbon consists of stacked graphene layers. Graphene oxide (GO) is a unique material that can be viewed as a single monomolecular layer of with various oxygen-containing functionalities such as epoxide, carbonyl, carboxyl, and hydroxyl groups. Reduced graphene oxide (RGO) is the form of GO that is processed by chemical, thermal and other methods in order to reduce the oxygen content, while oxide is a material produced by oxidation of which leads to increased interlayer spacing and functionalization of the basal planes of graphite.
