Anodization study of epitaxial graphene : insights on the oxygen evolution reaction of graphitic materials

• The photoemission electron microscopy and x-ray photoemission spectroscopy were utilized for the study of anodized epitaxial graphene (EG) on silicon carbide as a fundamental aspect of the oxygen evolution reaction on graphitic materials. The high-resolution analysis of surface morphology and composition quantified the material transformation during the anodization. We investigated the surface with lateral resolution amp;lt;150 nm, revealing significant transformations on the EG and the role of multilayer edges in increasing the film capacitance.
