To exactly analyse the composition of Fe3O4@MOF and FMA NPs, the crystal buildings of the complexes had been analysed by way of X-ray diffraction (XRD). The diffraction peaks at 2θ = 35.2°, 41.5°, 50.6°, 63.0°, 67.3°, and 74.2° correspond to the (220), (311), (400), (422), (511), and (440) crystal planes, respectively, of the Fe3O4 NPs (JCPDS 65-3107) (Fig. 2C). The diffraction peaks of MOF match the X-ray diffraction spectra reported in related research beforehand [46, 47], indicating that the formation of the MOF shell layer didn’t change the crystal construction of the Fe3O4 NP. After the in situ formation of Au NPs no MOF peaks had been detected within the core-shell construction of the ultimate provider. The crystallinity of MOF particles is dependent upon the solvent stage within the inside pores [48, 49]. Subsequently, heating of the thinner MOF shell layer in the course of the synthesis induces amorphous transition of the crystalline MOF shell layer. Nonetheless, the FMA NPs 2θ = 44.7°, 52.1°, and 76.8° strongly correspond to the crystalline planes of (111), (200), (220) of the usual card of Au NPs (JCPDS 04-0784), respectively.
