Herein, we endeavoured to tune the surface composition and hence electron transfer properties of chemically reduced graphene oxides through varying the mass of sodium borohydride (NaBH 4 ) in the reduction step. The resulting materials were characterised via X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), R...
