Iron for cleaner air : 2‐Line ferrihydrite, a versatile iron material, has been successfully explored for air purification by preparing it in a partially dehydroxylated form with accessible mesopores. The readily exposed tri‐ and tetracoordinated surface iron sites with numerous electrophilic oxygen species make this environmentally friendly material the most efficient iron candidate for complete elimination of organic contaminants in air.
