Conjugated-polyelectrolyte (CPE)-functionalized reduced graphene oxide (rGO) sheets are synthesized for the first time by taking advantage of a specially designed CPE, PFVSO3, with a planar backbone and charged sulfonate and oligo(ethylene glycol) side chains to assist the hydrazine-mediated reducti...
