Surfactants show both large positive and negative effects on observed electron transfer rates at thermally reduced graphenes by Wong, Colin Hong An, Pumera, Martin

“…The presence of these surfactants was shown to have varying influences on peak-to-peak separation (ΔE) and faster/slower observed heterogeneous electron transfer (HET) values depending on the nature of the probe as well as type of surfactant. Careful consideration of control experiments is recommended to aid in determining a material's electrochemical performance.…”
