## Abstract Density functional theory is used to show that charge transfer occurs between chemical dopants in GaAs and adsorbates composed of C~60~ and graphene lying on the (110) surface of GaAs. In the case of C~60~, charge transfer only occurs for nβtype GaAs in agreement with previous experimen

Abstract
It has been commonly thought that diamond is unique in its class in that it can undergo pβtype transfer doping when covered by a thin layer of electrolyte. In this study, densityβfunctional theory has been used to show that the work functions of graphite and graphene are low enough for transfer doping to occur between a graphite or graphene substrate and an aqueous adsorbate layer. The possible electrochemical reactions are the same as those favoured in the case of diamond, e.g. O~2~ + 2H~2~O + 4e^β^ β 4OH^β^ where the electrons have been provided by the graphite or graphene substrate. Notably, the extraordinary nature of carrier transport in (singleβlayer) graphene renders this nonβdisruptive doping method an exciting possibility. (Β© 2007 WILEYβVCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

We prepared hydrazine-reduced materials from both graphite oxide (GO) particles, which were not exfoliated, and completely exfoliated individual graphene oxide platelets, and then analyzed their chemical and structural properties by elemental analysis, XPS, TGA, XRD, and SEM. Both reduced materials
