Graphene coatings: An efficient protection from oxidation

We demonstrate that graphene coating can provide efficient protection from oxidation by posing a high-energy barrier to the path of oxygen atom, which could have penetrated from the top of the graphene to the reactive surface underneath. A graphene bilayer, which blocks the diffusion of oxygen with...
