Speeding Up Fenton Reactions with a Heterogeneous Inorganic Co-catalyst

Fenton reactions that activate H2O2 by using Fe2+ have emerged as a hot topic in environmental remediation. The sluggish regeneration of the active Fe2+ from Fe3+ remains the key limitation. As recently reported in Angewandte Chemie, Xing and co-workers have developed a MoS2-based heterogeneous co-catalyst that can significantly overcome this limitation and improve the overall efficiency.
