In the face of growing global water and soil pollution, scientists and engineers are turning to nanotechnology for innovative solutions, which has emerged as an essential tool with considerable potential benefits for environmental remediation [1]. Among the most promising tools in this field are iron-based nanoparticles [2]. Due to their small size, these particles present exceptional properties such as high surface area, reactivity, and mobility, which make them ideal candidates for water and soil treatment, particularly in removing toxic pollutants from groundwater and industrial wastewater, including the injection into contaminated aquifers. Recent reviews are available, offering a different approach: synthesis, manufacture, applications, enhancement of reactivity, stability, subsurface mobility, and use in remediation, etc. (e.g., [3-10]).
