“…The unregulated discharge of heavy metal-containing wastewater (such as Cr(VI), Sb(V), Ni(II), and Cu(II)) from mining, printing and dyeing, and other human activities, poses a severe threat to the self-operation of the ecosystem. , Fe 0 -based materials are recognized as excellent electron donors and reductants for environmental remediation due to their strong reactivity. − Notwithstanding these merits, their efficiency in heavy metal removal remains unsatisfactory due to passivation and aggregation issues encountered in practical applications. , To address this limitation, an effective strategy involves incorporating a secondary metal to form Fe-based bimetallic nanoparticles, thereby enhancing their pollutant removal activity via the formed galvanic effect or hydrogen atom generation. − However, most metals with positive redox potential or catalytic properties, such as Pd, Pt, Ag, Cu, Ni, and Pb, are often limited by cost or toxicity. − Therefore, it is imperative to select cost-effective and environmentally friendly metals for bimetallic modification.…”
