The understanding and tailoring of the electrochemistry of graphite is of significant industrial importance. We develop a method of etching pits into the basal planes of highly oriented pyrolytic graphite (HOPG) by electrolysis. The etching of HOPG was realized by performing electrochemical reaction...
