Intercalation of atomic species at the graphene-substrate interface is an effective way to decouple graphene (GR) from the metal on which it is grown, restoring the Dirac cone and tuning the GR-substrate interaction. The intercalation of oxygen was found to be successful, independently of the extent of the graphene-metal interaction, upon a suitable choice of oxygen partial pressure and sample temperature. Herein we report on the intercalation and de-intercalation of oxygen at the strongly interacting Gr/Ni(111) interface. Synchrotron-radiation based high-resolution X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy was used to characterise the intercalation mechanism and the nature of the compounds at the interface. We observed that the intercalated oxygen efficiently decouples the GR layer quenching the hybridisation with the metal substrate. Angle-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy measurements showed the restoration of the Dirac cone band-structure. Moreover, X-ray photoelectron diffraction added further insight into the structure of GR in the different phases of the process.
