    • 2009 January 30, D. C. Elias et al., “Control of Graphene's Properties by Reversible Hydrogenation: Evidence for Graphane”, in Science[1]:
      Because of the random nature of ripples, single-sided graphane is expected to be a disordered material, similar to graphene oxide, rather than a new graphene-based crystal.
