Fully controlled precipitation of photomagnetic CoFe Prussian blue analogue nanoparticles within the ordered mesoporosity of silica monoliths

The porosity of ordered mesoporous silica monoliths has been successfully used as nanoreactor for the elaboration of CoFe Prussian blue analogue nanoparticles. The nanocomposite exhibits a reversible photomagnetic effect different from that of typical powdered compounds due to particle size reduction.
