Description Graphene-based nanomaterials have attracted researchers
from various fields due to their extraordinary physical, chemical, and
electrochemical properties. An emerging class of graphene-based nanostructures and nanocomposites is considered to be a promising solution to
various types of environmental pollution. The electro-Fenton process is one
of the easy and effective approaches to treating a wide range of organic
pollutants in a liquid medium. The usage of graphene-based electrodes in
the electro-Fenton process is considered to be a promising and cleaner way
to produce reactive oxygen species to mineralize organic contaminants
rapidly. Graphene derivatives are used to immobilize various heterogeneous
Fenton catalysts for improved catalytic activity, stability, and reusability. In
this review, the importance of graphene-based materials in improving the
performance efficiency in the electro-Fenton process is presented along with
an enhancement mechanism through the following discussions: (i) the significance of oxygen functional groups and nitrogen doping
on graphene layers to enhance the two-electron oxygen reduction reactions; (ii) the advantages of iron-loaded graphene-based
materials as catalysts and composite electrodes for the enhanced production of reactive oxygen species; (iii) a summary of various
forms of graphene-based materials, modifications in their chemical structure, properties, and applications in the electro-Fenton
process to remove organic contaminants.
