A new kind of carbonic electrode material (ACF@OMC), activated carbon fibers (ACF) grafted by ordered mesoporous carbon (OMC), was prepared by developing a lay of OMC on the walls of ACF. The function of ACF@OMC cathode material was evaluated by E-Fenton degradation of brilliant red X3B (X3B), an anionic dye. The results suggest the overwhelmingly better performance of ACF@OMC than that of ACF. The structural properties of the mesoporous ACF@OMC composite are strongly related to its excellent performance.
