The agglomeration of zero-valent iron nanoparticles (Fe super(0) NPs) can significantly decrease the effective surface area of nanoparticles and thus reduce their catalytic performance. To avoid such agglomeration, a two-part Fe super(0) NP-immobilization approach was developed: (1) The fabrication...
