It IS an executive summary.

Even the Wikipedia page for “adatom” shows that Graphene acts as a “counterexample” — it is a thermodynamically stable state. Also, since hydrogen is adsorbed into graphene it could provide a lattice structure suitable for controlling the Coulomb Barrier and the resultant heat generation from fusion events.

Adatom
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adatom

Adatom according to the TLK model.
An adatom is an atom that lies on a crystal surface, and can be thought of as the opposite of a surface vacancy. This term is used in surface chemistry and epitaxy, when describing single atoms lying on surfaces and surface roughness. The word is a portmanteau of “adsorbed atom”. A single atom, a cluster of atoms, or a molecule or cluster of molecules may all be referred to by the general term “adparticle”. This is often a thermodynamically unfavorable state. However, cases such as graphene may provide counter-examples.[1]

Oh OK, thanks, it has to do with cold fusion. That’s a gnarly problem and apparently we don’t have the tools to do it except in the laboratory. And I don’t see how we ever will... As I understand, it requires a sun.
