Engineered carbon supported single iron atom sites and iron clusters from Fe-rich Enteromorpha for Fenton-like reactions via nonradical pathways

Enteromorpha as a seawater pollutant was innovatively converted into a functional carbocatalyst to driven Fenton-like reactions.After direct pyrolysis of Enteromorpha at 900 °C without additional chemicals, a large number of Fe clusters and single Fe sites are anchored onto N-doped carbon matrixes (Enteromorpha-derived Fe-N-C) with a high Fe loading of 0.84 wt.%. The Enteromorpha-derived Fe-N-C exhibits a high activity in the heterogeneous...
