Nitrogen and boron-co-doped graphene was synthesized through two-step thermal annealing (2sNBG) which was employed as a PMS activator to degrade sulfacetamide (SAM). The concentration of the main reactive functionalities (pyridinic N and substitutional B (BC3)) as well as catalytic activity of 2sNBG...
