Abstract

A facile electrochemical approach for the synthesis of graphene is developed by highly effective electron transfer from electron-rich heteropoly blue to graphene oxide. Reduced graphene oxide immobilized on a glassy carbon electrode (GCE) shows more positive potential for hydrogen evolution owing to the presence of the polyoxometalate electrocatalyst.
