Exploring the physicoelectrochemical properties of graphene.
Convincing evidence is presented demonstrating that the electro-catalytic nature of graphene resides in electron transfer from the edge of graphene which structurally resembles the behaviour of edge plane (rather than basal plane) of highly ordered pyrolytic graphite. The impact of surfactants intrinsic to graphene on the electrochemical response is highlighted.
