N-Doped carbon nanotubes encapsulating bimetallic Fe/Mn nanoparticles (FeMn@NCNTs) were fabricated after a one-step pyrolysis and were used as the catalyst for peroxymonosulfate activation to degrade acetamiprid. The FeMn@NCNTs showed uniform nanotubes with rich N doping and the encapsulated FeMn na...
