Chemically functionalised exfoliated graphite: a new bulk modified, renewable surface electrode

Abstract

Graphite particles are exfoliated and chemically functionalised to covalently attach electroactive molecules and subsequently pressed in the form of a pellet, without the use of a binder, to yield a bulk modified, renewable surface electrode material.
