AB  - The reactivity of nanoscale zero-valent iron is limited by surface passivation 
      and particle agglomeration. Here, Ni/Fe bimetallic nanoparticles embedded into 
      graphitized carbon (NiFe@GC) were prepared from Ni/Fe bimetallic complex through 
      a carbothermal reduction treatment. The Ni/Fe nanoparticles were uniformly 
      distributed in the GC matrix with controllable particle sizes, and NiFe@GC 
      exhibited a larger specific surface area than unsupported nanoscale zero-valent 
      iron/nickel (FeNi NPs). The XRD results revealed that Ni/Fe bimetallic 
      nanoparticles embedded into graphitized carbon were protected from oxidization. 
      The NiFe@GC performed excellently in 2,4,6-trichlorophenol (TCP) removal from an 
      aqueous solution. The removal efficiency of TCP for NiFe@GC-50 was more than 
      twice that of FeNi nanoparticles, and the removal efficiency of TCP increased 
      from 78.5% to 94.1% when the Ni/Fe molar ratio increased from 0 to 50%. The 
      removal efficiency of TCP by NiFe@GC-50 can maintain 76.8% after 10 days of 
      aging, much higher than that of FeNi NPs (29.6%). The higher performance of 
      NiFe@GC should be ascribed to the significant synergistic effect of the 
      combination of NiFe bimetallic nanoparticles and GC. In the presence of Ni, 
      atomic H* generated by zero-valent iron corrosion can accelerate TCP removal. The 
      GC coated on the surface of Ni/Fe bimetallic nanoparticles can protect them from 
      oxidation and deactivation.
