In our previous studies we have demonstrated the possibility of obtaining nanoparticles

In the current study, we present various approaches for preparing iron oxide or mixed oxide nanoparticles using metal complexes as precursors with or without stabilizing agents. Some of

• the SBA-15 tubular structure (inset of Figure 3d). The morphology and distribution of Mg–Al mixed oxide nanoparticles into the SBA-15 channels cannot be observed, due the relative low scattering contrast between mixed oxides and the SBA-15 silica pore walls. Furthermore, no Mg–Al–O bulks are observed
