Cu2O NPs were confirmed by XRD and XPS. The TEM microscopy showed that the nanoparticles were homogeneously distributed over the G@TLL surface with sizes of 53 nm and 165 nm. This G@TLL-Cu2O hybrid was successfully used in the degradation of toxic organic compounds such as trichloroethylene (TCE) and Rhodamine B (RhB). In the case of TCE, the hybrid presented a high catalytic capacity, degrading 60 ppm of product in 60 min in aqueous solution and room temperature without the formation of other toxic subproducts. In addition, a TOF value of 7.5 times higher than the unsupported counterpart (TLL-Cu2O) was obtained, demonstrating the improved catalytic efficiency of the system in the solid phase. The hybrid also presented an excellent catalytic performance for the degradation of Rhodamine B (RhB) obtaining a complete degradation (48 ppm) in 50 min in aqueous solution and room temperature and with the presence of a green oxidant as H2O2.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/nano13030449","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,1,23]],"date-time":"2023-01-23T03:48:08Z","timestamp":1674445688000},"page":"449","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Graphene-TLL-Cu2ONPs Hybrid as Highly Efficient Catalyst for Degradation of Organic Compounds"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3940-4208","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Noelia","family":"Losada-Garcia","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Instituto de Cat\u00e1lisis y Petroleoqu\u00edmica (ICP), CSIC, Marie Curie 2, 28049 Madrid, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jannier","family":"Carranza","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Instituto de Cat\u00e1lisis y Petroleoqu\u00edmica (ICP), CSIC, Marie Curie 2, 28049 Madrid, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6464-1216","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jose M.","family":"Palomo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Instituto de Cat\u00e1lisis y Petroleoqu\u00edmica (ICP), CSIC, Marie Curie 2, 28049 Madrid, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,1,21]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"4548","DOI":"10.1039\/C7CY00468K","article-title":"Photocatalytic pathway toward degradation of environmental pharmaceutical pollutants: Structure, kinetics and mechanism approach","volume":"7","author":"Bagheri","year":"2017","journal-title":"Catal.
