Graphene functionalization to design metallic nanoparticles- reduced graphene hybrids with electrocatalytic properties

Graphene is a two-dimensional highly conjugated material with huge properties but these are difficult to reach due to the difficulty of synthesizing and manipulating it. Thus reduced graphene oxide has become a material of interest due to its large production easiness and good conductivity compared to graphene oxide, allowing its coating on an electrode. However, the lack of oxygenated functions makes its further chemical derivatization difficult.
