Abstract
-rGO nanocomposite, which was exploited to fabricate a high-performance mechanically flexible all-solid-state asymmetric supercapacitor and simultaneously used as an efficient but easily recoverable catalyst for the transformation of different nitroaromatic compounds. We have also demonstrated the conversion of trifluralin (a herbicide), which is present in the water body as a pollutant, to its corresponding amine derivatives, which can be utilized in the preparation of important pharmaceutical products.
