A binder‐free composite of graphite and kaolinite as a stable working electrode for general electrochemical applications

Abstract Composite electrodes are essential to overcome dynamic challenges related to electrodes made of polymeric binders. Herein, this work reports a composite electrode consisting of graphite and kaolinite (GKCE) as a potential alternative for commercial electrodes. The GKCE series exhibits expon...
