Metallic iron nanoparticles were synthesized within micron-sized mesoporous molecular sieves (with 2.9-nm pores) and hollow silica microcapsules (pores of 2.7 15 nm) using several cycles wet impregnation under vacuum, followed by drying, oxidation, reduction steps. For iron-loaded MCM-48, SQUID measurements revealed ferromagnetic behavior at room temperature with a magnetic moment as high 3.40 emu/g (measured 2 T) after four deposition cycles. Iron-loaded (250-nm wall thickness) showed 2.40...
