Co 3 O 4 /graphene composites were synthesized and their high catalytic activity for the activation of peroxymonosulfate to remove the azo dye (Orange II) in aqueous solutions was found. As for the poor quality of rGO by the chemical process of graphene oxide, here, pristine graphite was exfoliated...
