Dimethyl phthalate degradation at novel and efficient electro-Fenton cathode

A novel three-dimensional porous carbon nanotube sponge (CNTS) with high electrical conductivity - due to its high graphitization - was adopted as the cathode for the electro-Fenton process, CNTS cathode exhibits higher apparent rate constant for dimethyl phthalate degradation than the conventional graphite cathode, as well as possesses desirable stability.
