Journal of Applied Physics, 111 (7), 07B301-1-07B301-2.Magnetic properties and microstructures of iron oxide@mesoporous silica core-shell composite for applications in magnetic dye separation Abstract "In this report, hollow mesoporous silica (HMS) and iron oxide-hollow mesoporous silica (FexOy@HMS) core-shell composite were prepared by a one-step facile fabrication method. Transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, N-2 adsorption-desorption isotherms, and vibrating sample magnetometer were used to characterize the morphology, microstructure, and magnetic properties of the HMS and coreshell composite. The magnetic separability of FexOy@HMS core-shell composite was tested in Rhodamine B In this report, hollow mesoporous silica (HMS) and iron oxide-hollow mesoporous silica (Fe x O y @HMS) core-shell composite were prepared by a one-step facile fabrication method. Transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, N 2 adsorption-desorption isotherms, and vibrating sample magnetometer were used to characterize the morphology, microstructure, and magnetic properties of the HMS and core-shell composite. The magnetic separability of Fe x O y @HMS core-shell composite was tested in Rhodamine B (Rh.B) dye solution. The results indicate that the core-shell composite can absorb Rh.B dyes molecules effectively up to 90.1%.
