Abstract Reduced graphene oxide has been shown to exhibit many interesting materials properties that are useful for electronic and electrochemical application, including nanoelectronics, electrocatalysis or sensors. However, the suitability of the material for these applications is limited by the fact that the graphene in its pure state exhibits zero band gap and that its electrochemical behavior resembles that of graphite. Doping of graphene with heteroatoms (such as hydrogen, nitrogen, and sulfur) can change the electron density in the graphene sheet and provide an electrode catalytic active site. Here, we have developed a simple chemical method to obtain bulk quantities of S-doped, reduced graphene oxide sheets (S-RGO) via electrochemical exfoliation of graphite in the presence of sodium thiosulphate acting as a sulfur source. The S-RGO materials are characterized by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and Raman spectroscopy. We also investigate the electrocatalytic activity of the S-RGO catalyst for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and compare it with RGO. This research was also supported by Basic Science Research Program through the National Research Foundation of Korea (NRF) funded by the Ministry of Education (2016R1D1A1B03930895).
