Fe2O3@FeB composites facilitate heterogeneous Fenton process by efficient Fe(III)/Fe(II) cycle and in-situ H2O2 generation

In this study, we fabricated a micro-nano structured Fe2O3@FeB composites by treating commercial Fe2O3 with sodium borohydride. The outside amorphous FeB alloy shell endowed the Fe2O3@FeB with remarkable Fenton-like performance in organic pollutants oxidation by efficient Fe(III)/Fe(II) cycle. For i...
