TI  - Room temperature reduction of graphene oxide by formic acid catalyzed by platinum 
      nanoparticles.
PG  - 2967-73
AB  - Graphene oxide (GO) was reduced by stirring the solution contaning GO sheets with 
      platinum (Pt) nanoparticles and formic acid at room temperature for 72 h. The 
      resulting reduced graphene oxide-Pt (RGO-Pt) nanocomposites were characterized, 
      and it was found that the Pt nanoparticles of size 4-6 nm were anchored onto the 
      RGO sheets. The reduction of GO was facilitated by formic acid catalysed by the 
      Pt nanoparticles. The reduction level of the GO sheets was related to the pH of 
      the mixed solution, and higher pH would induce higher reduction level of the GO 
      sheets. The RGO-Pt nanocomposites synthesized at pH 4 and pH 7 exhibit large 
      electrochemically active surface area of 49.45 m2/g and 56.78 m2/g, and high 
      I(f)/I(b) ratio of 2.36 and 2.87 indicating high electrocatalytic activities. 
      This paper presents a new energy efficient way to reduce GO and produce RGO-Pt 
      for fuel cell and other applications.
