Abstract
Some embodiments are directed to a support for receiving a biological sample, the support comprising at least one support member, and including graphene attached to the support member. The graphene is partially hydrogenated graphene. Some embodiments are also directed to use of a partially hydrogenated graphene surface to support a biological molecule for electron microscopy. Some other embodiments are also directed to a method for making a partially hydrogenated graphene. The method includes applying a hydrogen ion or hydrogen atom to the surface of graphene. The hydrogen ion or hydrogen atom is applied at an energy in the range 1 to 21 eV. A sensor comprising a surface capable of adsorbing a biological molecule thereto is also disclosed, wherein said surface includes partially hydrogenated graphene.
