Phosphate Supply-Driven Interfacial Coordination Microenvironment Dictates the Electronic Structure and Reactivity of Zero-Valent Iron
, which severely suppresses electron migration and reactivity. This work reveals a systematic volcano-type structure-activity relationship in which microstructurally evolving phosphate species regulate the electronic structure of ZVI, providing a critical theoretical foundation for the rational design of next-generation iron-based materials.
