Facilely synthesized nitrogen-doped reduced graphene oxide functionalized with copper ions as electrocatalyst for oxygen reduction

Abstract Nitrogen-doped reduced graphene oxide is successfully synthesized and functionalized with hydroxylated copper ions via one-pot microwave-assisted route. The presence of cationic Cu coordinated to the graphene layer is fully elucidated through a set of experimental characterizations and theo...
