A Fenton-Like Nanocatalyst Based on Easily Separated Magnetic Nanorings for Oxidation and Degradation of Dye Pollutant

In this study, uniform Fe<sub>3</sub>O<sub>4</sub> magnetic nanorings (Fe<sub>3</sub>O<sub>4</sub>-MNRs) were prepared through a simple hydrothermal method. The morphology, magnetic properties, and structure of the product were characterized by transmi...
