The present study reports for the first time the use of a thiol-functionalized graphene oxide nanocatalyst with impressive activity (>10(5)-fold) in dephosphorylation reactions. The innovative and recyclable nanocatalyst has potential in designing artificial enzymes with targeted multifunctionalities and in detoxification of organophosphorus agents.
