Construction of a stable Cu-Fe@C composite catalyst with enhanced performance and recyclability for visible-light-driven photo-Fenton reaction

To simultaneously improve the catalytic performance and recyclability of composite catalyst, mechanical activation (MA) treatment of precursor materials followed by one-step calcination was developed for constructing a stable cellulose-derived carbon-supported Cu-Fe composite ([email protected]). The results indicated that MA treatment induced the formation of more active sites, the embedding of metal-based components in carbon support, and the...
