Abstract: Carbonaceous catalysts are potential alternatives to metal catalysts. Graphene has been paid much attention for its high surface area and light weight. Here, hydrogenated graphene has been prepared by a simple gamma ray irradiation of graphene oxide aqueous suspension at room temperature. Transmission electron microscopic, element analysis, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and UV-Vis spectrophotometer studies verified the hydrogenation of graphene. The as-prepared hydrogenated graphene can be used as a metal-free carbonaceous catalyst for the Fenton-like degradation of organic dye in water.
