Theoretical and experimental evidence for rGO-4-PP Nc as a metal-free Fenton-like catalyst by tuning the electron distribution

a surface complexation and copolymerization process. The experimental evidence, such as that gained from XRD, FIIR and EPR analysis, confirm the theoretical models and the dual-reaction-center Fenton-like mechanism. This work provides a basis for theoretical calculation to guide the actual synthesis and prediction of catalytic activity of the Fenton-like catalysts, and also offers a creative perspective to develop new generation metal-free Fenton catalysts by tuning the electron distribution using organic polymers.
