Description
Summary:•Iron oxide microtubes exhibited the specific interaction with methyl red.•Complete trans-to-cis transformation of methyl red did not occur.•Iron oxide microtubes acted as a proton donor. Biogenous iron oxide microtubes (L-BIOX) are interesting substances that exhibit high potential for application as a practical material. However, the nature of the L-BIOX surface, which is the working site for various phenomena, has not yet been completely clarified. We conducted experiments to elucidate the surface properties of L-BIOX, which interacted with methyl red at room temperature in the dark, depending on its calcination temperature.
