Quantification of various oxygen‐containing groups in graphene oxides is of very high importance as these groups have strong influences on the physical, chemical, and material properties of graphene oxides. All current methods provide only relative quantification. In their Communication on page 2899 ff, E. L. K. Chng and M. Pumera present a powerful electrochemical technique for the absolute quantification of selected oxygen‐containing groups on graphene oxide. This method allows selective quantification of epoxy, peroxy, and aldehyde groups.
