Characterizing Electron Flow through Catechol‐Graphene Composite Hydrogels by Eunkyoung Kim, Rita Argenziano, Zhiling Zhao, Chen‐yu Chen, Margaret Shen, William E. Bentley, Alessandra Napolitano, Gregory F. Payne

“…Importantly, there are two functional populations of catechols: conducting‐catechols (presumably in intimate contact with graphene) allow direct electron‐transfer; and non‐conducting‐catechols (presumably physically separated from graphene) require diffusible mediators to enable electron‐transfer. Using a variety of spectroelectrochemical measurements, that the capacity of the composite for charge‐storage increases in proportion to the extent by which the catechol‐groups can undergo redox‐state switching is demonstrated. …”
