The deposited β-PbO2 crystals envelop each carbon fiber to form cable-like strips
The cable-like strips crisscross in the carbon felt to form the CF/β-PbO2
The CF/β-PbO2 has huge surface area and abundant active sites for generating OH
The CF/β-PbO2 demonstrates high sensitivity and wide linear range in COD detection
The CF/β-PbO2 displays long service life, excellent reproducibility and low cost
