Abstract
ABSTRACT A significant amount of ferrous scrap resources remain unrecycled, and the abundant iron content gives them potential as environmental catalysts. However, the practical application of ferrous scrap in catalysis remains a significant challenge. Herein, a strategy based on rapid solidification to increase the specific surface area, regulate the microstructure, and introduce high residual stress in ferrous scrap is proposed, leading to enhanced catalytic performance. The introduction of high residual stress and the construction of an amorphous structure significantly enhance performance, enabling a degradation efficiency of 98% within 40 s and a high k obs of 5.866 min −1 .
