Summary Graphene with its two‐dimensional structure and unique properties has immense potential in energy‐related applications such as proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cells. Herein, we employ a well‐known biomolecule arginine‐glycine‐aspartate (RGD) peptide–functionalized graphene‐supported Pt n...
