Graphene in its pristine form has transformed our understanding of 2D electron systems leading to fundamental discoveries. When graphene’s honeycomb lattice is disrupted by single atom vacancies a gate voltage dependent Kondo effect may emerge. We present numerical renormalization group (NRG) calculations for a realistic two-orbital model consisting of a local σ orbital and a localized π orbital induced by the vacancy. Depending on the graphene curvature in the vicinity of the vacancy, we determine three different regimes. The re-entrance regime is characterized by a conventional Kondo effect (p doping), a breakdown of the Kondo peak close to the Dirac point | µ| → 0, and a underscreened Kondo (n doping) where the π band is screening the magnetic moment of the σ orbital. Changing the hybridization between impurity and band drives the system into a regime where Kondo screening is present for either strong n or p doping.
