Definitive Evidence for Fast Electron Transfer at Pristine Basal Plane Graphite from High-Resolution Electrochemical Imaging

Definitive Evidence for Fast Electron Transfer at Pristine Basal Plane Graphite from High-Resolution Electrochemical Imaging:

The electroactivity of basal plane graphite has been measured for the first time without interference from intersecting step edges by using high-resolution scanning electrochemical cell microscopy. P. R. Unwin et al. provide in their Communication (DOI: 10.1002/anie.201200564) definitive evidence for fast and uniform electron transfer at basal plane graphite, and demonstrate the need for revision of current models for the electroactivity of graphite and related sp² carbon materials.
