zigzag and armchair edges and of spin localized non-bonding p electron states in
the zigzag periphery of nanosheets. The catalytic action of nanosized graphite is
attributed to the presence of non-bonding p electron states in the zigzag periphery
of nanosheets which appear to be implied in the electron transfer from the reductant
C to oxygen.
