Fig. 1: Synthesis and chemical identity of the G-ASA catalyst.

a The synthetic route toward G-ASA from fluorographene (FG) and taurine (2-aminosulfonic acid). b FT-IR spectra of GrF, taurine and the G-ASA product. c Raman spectra of GrF and G-ASA, (d) TGA with evolved gas analysis for the G-ASA, and deconvoluted XPS spectra of the G-ASA catalyst for the regions of (e) C 1s, (f) N 1s, and (g) S 2p.
