Face to face: Flakes of reduced graphene oxide, synthesized in situ at the liquid/liquid interface from a graphene‐oxide precursor, are capable of catalyzing the biphasic reduction of protons to hydrogen peroxide in the presence of molecular oxygen and an organic solubilized electron donor. This offers a new perspective for the bulk production of a green oxidant through biphasic electrolysis.
