“…Energy‐dispersive X‐ray spectroscopy (EDS) spectrum confirms the presence of carbon (C), iron (Fe), and oxygen (O) of synthesized nanocomposites CI‐IO‐1, 2, 3, and 4 as shown in the inset of FESEM images. X‐ray diffraction ( XRD) pattern confirms the formation of Fe 3 O 4 nanoparticles and immobilization on microcrystalline cellulose, sharp reflections at 2θ = 15.92 and 22.49 for a crystalline‐I form of cellulose [ 73 ] and 2θ = 30.00, 36.00, 43.19, 50.32, 61.39, and 73.91 having planes (220), (311), (400), (422), (440), and (620), respectively, for Fe 3 O 4 in powder X‐ray diffraction (Figure 2a) pattern. [ 74,75 ] The thermal stability of MCC and CI‐IO‐3 nanocomposite (Fe 3 O 4 immobilized on microcrystalline cellulose) were studied by using thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) that was carried out under inert conditions at rt up to 600°C with a constant heating rate of 10°C min −1 (Figure 2b).…”
