Abstract: Disclosed is a method of removal of an organic pollutant from an aqueous solution, comprising: a) contacting the solution with an anode and a cathode comprising a carbon material; b) applying electrical current to the anode, thereby generating reactive oxygen species; b) oxidizing the organic pollutant with the reactive oxygen species; and c) regenerating the carbon material. Also disclosed is a method of producing reactive oxygen species, comprising: a) flowing an aqeous solution through a reactor comprising at least one cathode and at least one anode; b) applying electrical current to the at least one anode; and c) collecting a product solution comprising reactive oxygen species.
