- This paper is the first paper to show that the film/sheet integrity of graphene cannot withstand electrochemical requirements for implementation within fuel cells. In particular, this report shows that pristine graphene is not a beneficial electrode material towards the HER, but that multilayer graphene has more potential as an electrochemical platform for the HER. This finding is of great significance and will be of major concern in the field. The paper was highlighted in the collection ‘Editor’s Choice’ for electrocatalysis (24-Aug-2020) and has been presented at the 6th International Conference on Bio-Sensing Technology, inspiring follow-up works [Nanoscale Advances,2020,Vol-2,Page-264].
