Researchers at the Xinjiang Technical Institute of Physics and Chemistry (XTIPC) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) have developed a core-shell confined iron-based single-atom catalyst that combines high Fenton-like catalytic activity with structural stability, enabling nearly complete removal of 2,4-dichlorophenol (2,4-DCP) within 20 minutes under mildly acidic conditions.
