Dual type Fe species (isomorphously substituted Fe species and a colloidal a-FeOOH (IS-FeOOH)) supported on mesostructured silica nanoparticles (IS-FeOOH/MSN) were prepared by a simple electrochemical method followed by impregnation. Characterization was conducted using X-ray diffraction, transmissi...
