The agglomeration of rGO resulted from the morphological irregularities restrict its direct applications as catalyst for pollutants removal using advance oxidation processes (AOPs). In this study, we addressed this problem after incorporating the nanosheets of reduced graphene oxide (rGO) in the lay...
