Reduced Graphene Oxide for Catalytic Oxidation of Aqueous Organic Pollutants

We discovered that chemically reduced graphene oxide, with an ID/IG >1.4 (defective to graphite) can effectively activate peroxymonosulfate (PMS) to produce active sulfate radicals. The produced sulfate radicals (SO4•—) are powerful oxidizing species with a high oxidative potential (2.5–3.1 vs 2....
