The heterogeneous catalytic process has been under development for aqueous pollutant degradation, yet electron transfer efficiency often limits the effectiveness of catalytic reactions. In this study, a novel composite material, manganese doped iron–carbon (Mn–Fe–C), was tailor designed to promote t...
