🧩 Abstract (PP15)
Magnetite-based aeromaterials (Fe₃O₄) represent a promising class of functional porous structures with potential applications in catalysis, adsorption, sensing, and energy storage.
In this work, we performed an optical and structural characterization of a Fe₃O₄ aeromaterial, correlating morphology, crystallinity, and optical response.
SEM imaging, XRD analysis, and UV-Vis spectroscopy confirm the high porosity and phase purity of the structure.
These findings highlight the potential of Fe₃O₄ aeromaterials in future nanotechnology applications.
