Size and distribution of the iron oxide nanoparticles in SBA-15 nanoporous silica via SANS study

Abstract: Structural characteristics of nanocomposite series consisting of iron oxide nanoparticles (NPs) embedded in the regular pores of amorphous silica matrix (SBA-15) were investigated by means of small angle neutron scattering (SANS). By virtue of unique neutron properties, insight into the inner structure and matter organization of this kind of systems was facilitated for the first time. Based on rigorous experimental support, fundamental model describing the neutron scattering intensity distribution was proposed… Show more

“…Based on the enhanced neutron absorption apparent from SANS data (Fig. 1 b) along with analogy to similar nanocomposite 16 , 35 containing iron oxide NPs instead of Gd 2 O 3 , larger nanoparticles’ formation on the surface of the SBA16/Gd 2 O 3 -4 M nanocomposite is presumable. One can hypothesize on the coexistence of magnetic phases corresponding to the larger nanoparticles with higher crystallinity and small particles in the matrix pores with significant lattice disorder.…”

“…The matrix pores are therefore deemed sparsely occupied by the Gd 2 O 3 NPs and the scattering signal from the composite is supposed to closely resemble that of the hollow SBA15 matrix. In order to address the structure of the system, we have applied the model that we have developed for similar series of nanocomposites, where Fe 2 O 3 instead of Gd 2 O 3 NPs were introduced into the SBA15 matrix 17 . Briefly, total SANS intensity of the composite is assumed as a superposition of signals corresponding to the two subsystem contributions – scattering from the blank matrix and the system of Gd 2 O 3 NPs.…”

“…Since sample 4 (MCM-41/Napro/Fe 2 O 3 ) was produced from sample 3 by subsequent loading of drug naproxen, the presence of hematite magnetic nanoparticles in sample 4 is obvious. The phase composition of samples containing iron oxide magnetic nanoparticles prepared in a similar way in different mesoporous silicas was studied previously in our recent paper [ 44 ].…”

“…Among the crystalline and amorphous forms of iron oxide [11], the latter one has a specific role in sensing [12], gas sorption [13], and electrode materials [14]. An amorphous iron oxide nanoparticle (AIONP) [15] has a larger surface area in comparison to the crystalline IONPs [16]. This is because the disturbed surface structure along with a huge number of unsaturated bonds enhances their catalytic activity and superparamagnetic behavior [17].…”
