Abstract Three-dimensional (3D) γ-MnO 2@ ZnFe 2 O 4/reduced graphene oxide (rGO) nanohybrids were synthesized using a one-pot hydrothermal self-assembly method. The morphology and properties of the nanohybrids were investigated. The synergistic interactions among γ-MnO 2, ZnFe 2 O 4, and rGO resulted in 3D nanoflakes distributed uniformly in the rGO structure with a thickness of approximately 2–5 nm, leading to a high surface area. The nanohybrid containing 10 wt.% rGO exhibited superior catalytic activities for phenol degradation through the activation of peroxymonosulfate (PMS) to generate active sulfate radicals (S O 4•–). Typically, 50 mL of a 20 ppm phenol solution was degraded completely and 85% of the carbon content had been mineralized in 30 min at 25° C using 10 mg of the nanohybrid. The nanohybrid could be recovered easily using a magnet and reused, maintaining high stability during catalytic oxidation. The 3D γ-MnO 2@ ZnFe 2 O 4/rGO nanohybrid catalyst could be applied to the removal of hard-to-degrade waste materials owing to its high efficiency and excellent reusability.
