Electrocatalytic activity for proton reduction by a covalent non-metal graphene-fullerene hybrid

Chem Commun (Camb). 2022 Jul 26;58(60):8396-8399. doi: 10.1039/d2cc02272a.

Abstract

A non-metal covalent hybrid of fullerene and graphene was synthesized in one step via fluorographene chemistry. Its electrocatalytic performance for the hydrogen evolution reaction and durability was ascribed to intrahybrid charge-transfer phenomena, exploiting the electron-accepting properties of C60 and the high conductivity and large surface area of graphene.
