3D MnO2 porous hollow microspheres (PHMSs) are prepared by a self-template process.
MnO2 PHMSs with excellent adsorption and catalytic ozonation performance for BPA.
MnO2 PHMSs show enhanced activity due to hollow-mesoporous shell spherical structure.
O2− and OH are reactive species to induce effective catalytic ozonation of BPA.
