      <dc:description>Carbon xerogel spheres co-doped with nitrogen and eco-graphene were synthesized&#xd;
using a typical solvothermal method. The results indicate that the incorporation of eco-graphene&#xd;
enhances the electrochemical properties, such as the current density (JK) and the selectivity for the&#xd;
four transferred electrons (n). Additionally, nitrogen doping has a significant effect on the degradation&#xd;
efficiency, varying with the size of the carbon xerogel spheres, which could be attributed to the type&#xd;
of nitrogenous group doped in the carbon material. The degradation efficiency improved in the&#xd;
nanometric spheres (48.3% to 61.6%) but decreased in the micrometric-scale spheres (58.6% to 53.4%).&#xd;
This effect was attributed to the N-functional groups present in each sample, with N-CNS-5 exhibiting&#xd;
a higher percentage of graphitic nitrogen (35.7%) compared to N-CMS-5 (15.3%). These findings&#xd;
highlight the critical role of sphere size in determining the type of N-functional groups present in the&#xd;
sample. leading to enhanced degradation of pollutants as a result of the electro-Fenton process.</dc:description>
