MOFs-derived porous carbon embedded Fe nanoparticles as peroxymonosulfate activator for efficient degradation of organic pollutants.

Achieving the harmless degradation of organic pollutants remains a challenging task for the advanced oxidation processes. Metal-organic frameworks have emerged in the field of energy and environmental catalysis. Herein, MIL-101(Fe) was employed as the precursor to prepare a porous carbon embedded Fe nanoparticles (Fe@C) via a pyrolytic process under N protection.
