“…The large‐angle XRD pattern of the Mag particles (Figure b) shows peaks between 18 and 70°, i. e., 2θ= 18, 30, 35, 43, 53, 57 and 62, corresponding to the d hkl crystal planes (111), (220), (311), (400), (422), (511) and (440), respectively, which can be indexed to the spinel structure of pure stoichiometric magnetite (Fe 3 O 4 ), and are consistent with the standard pattern for Fe 3 O 4 (JCPDS, card 1–1111) ,. These same patterns observed along with a broad diffraction peak around 20–30°(2θ) were attributed to HMS silica, after coating Mag to yield HMS‐Mag and immobilization of the MnP2 to yield MnP2‐HMS‐Mag , suggesting that the crystalline phase of Fe 3 O 4 remained unchanged after the coating and immobilization procedures …”
