For some product we are developing, we need to create carboxylic
groups on some carbon electrode surface. Since I am not a chemist, I
was wondering if some can give me some suggestions on how to acheive
this. I prefer a wet chemistry (soaking and/or washing in certain
chemicals) approach rather than an electrochemical approach (applying
potential to the carbon electrode in certain electrolyte).

Any information is greatly appreciated.
