Given its high activity and nontoxicity, nanoscale zero-valent iron (nZVI) has been intensively used to remediate the groundwater contaminated by trichloroethylene (TCE). However, the long-term stability of nZVI could be impaired by aging and natural organic matter. Herein, a montmorillonite-support...
