The addition of ligands into the system of zero valent iron is an effective method to promote the yields of pollutants oxidant but may lead to the unfavorable environmental consequences. In this study, the addition effects of protocatechuic acid (PCA), a kind of complexing and reducing agent widely existed in many plants, on the molecular oxygen activation and the subsequent aerobic rhodamine B degradation by Fe@Fe2O3 core-shell nanowires were investigated. Results indicated that the degradation efficiency of rhodamine B increased from less tha...
