Abstract

A defensible evidence chain must show where data originated, how records were transformed, and which decisions can be reconstructed after publication. This structured evidence review evaluates "Dual-function akaganeite (β-FeOOH) a photo-Fenton system for hydrogen generation and pollutant degradation" alongside nine author-disjoint, topically matched publications in photo-Fenton catalysis. It compares construct definitions, evaluation choices, operating assumptions, and reported limitations instead of treating bibliographic similarity as empirical equivalence. Viewed through data provenance and auditability, the map separates claims supported by the available record from questions that still require full-text extraction, replication, or new experiments. The synthesis is interpretive rather than meta-analytic and therefore does not present a pooled effect estimate or a new causal result. The resulting agenda emphasizes versioned data lineage, transformation logs, access controls, and auditable links between evidence and decisions.
