dc.description.abstractThe rapid reduction of Cr(VI) across a wide pH range, from acidic to alkaline pH conditions to stable Cr(III) species for efficient remediation of Cr(VI) pollution, has long been a challenge. Herein, we propose a new concept of <i>in situ</i> nanoconfinement catalysis (<i>i</i>NCC) for highly efficient remediation of Cr(VI) by growing nanosheets of <i>in situ</i> layered double hydroxide (<i>i</i>LDH) on the surface of Al-Mg-Fe alloy achieving chemical reduction rates of >99% in 1 min from pH 3 to 11 for 100 mg L<sup>-1</sup> Cr(VI) with a rate constant of 201 h<sup>-1</sup>. In stark contrast, the reduction rate is less than 6% in 12 h with a rate constant of 0.77 h<sup>-1</sup> for the pristine Al-Mg-Fe alloy. The ultrafast reduction of Cr(VI) is most likely attributed to the synergistic catalysis of Al<sub>12</sub>Mg<sub>17</sub> and Al<sub>13</sub>Fe<sub>4</sub> and nanoconfinement of MgAlFe-<i>i</i>LDH and superstable mineralization of Cr(III) by MgAlCr<sup>III</sup>- and MgFeCr<sup>III</sup>-<i>i</i>LDHs. This study demonstrates the potential of <i>in situ</i> nanoconfinement catalysis on redox transformation for environmental remediation.
