Catechol adsorption on graphene nanoplatelets: isotherm, flat to vertical phase transition and desorption kinetics

The adsorption of catechol (1,2-dihydroxybenzene) on graphene nanoplatelets (GNPs) is investigated electrochemically and spectroscopically. The reversible adsorption of catechol on GNPs is Langmuirian with an adsorption constant of (0.2 ± 0.002) mM<sup>−1</sup> at low adsorbate concentra...
