Residual graphite oxide fibres (rGo fibres) were prepared by electrochemical oxidation and partial reduction of a graphite fibre electrode with a slow linear potential sweep in 97% H2SO4solution and then metallized by impregnation or ion-exchange with solutions containing Pt4+, Pd2+, Au4+, Mn2+, Te4+,In3+and Ir3+. The cyclic voltammetry of the modified electrode in an acidic vanadium sulphate solution showed that the electrode modified by Pt4+exhibited electrochemical behaviour consistent with a Pt electrode in the same solution. High hydrogen evolution rates were obtained on Pt, Pd, and Au modified electrodes while the electrode modified by Ir3+exhibited the best electrochemical behaviour for the various vanadium redox species. The electrodes treated with Mn2+, Te4+and In3+gave similar cyclic voltammetric behaviour with significantly improved electrochemical activity compared with the untreated fibre electrode.
