Through the employment of the magnetic induction swing adsorption technology, in situ heating adsorbents were developed, which were responsive to the induced magnetic field. The novel material, superparamagnetic Fe 3 O 4 @Mg-MOF-74, was synthesized via a layer-by-layer approach that integrates iron(III) oxide (Fe 3 O 4 ) as its magnetic core and Mg-MOF-74 as its highly porous shell in a defined core–shell structure. Ultrasonication and solvothermal methods were adopted to enhance nucleation efficiency and achieve control over particle morphology and phase composition. Morphology analysis using X-ray diffraction and FTIR confirmed the homogeneous formation, while transmission electron microscopy imaging revealed a shell morphology. The composite exhibited thermal stability up to 350 °C, along with favorable surface area (261.24 m 2 /g) and pore volume (0.23 cm 3 /g), while displaying mesoporous and multilayer N 2 adsorption. It is a promising CO 2 adsorbent as evaluated in isothermal measurements at 25.00 °C up to 1.20 bar. The Type 1 isotherm plot was revealed, indicative of microporous physisorption. The composite achieved a maximum uptake of 0.60 mmol/g, which was attributed to the porous Mg-MOF-74. Lastly, magnetic analysis using vibrating sample magnetometer demonstrated superparamagnetic behavior from the sigmoidal hysteresis curve. Its high magnetic saturation and minute remanence, at 67.95 A·m 2 /kg and 1.34 A·m 2 /kg, respectively, with coercivity at 10.98 G, highlight its excellence responsiveness to magnetic fluctuations, crucial for magnetic hyperthermia and efficient phase transition. The combined properties in Fe 3 O 4 @Mg-MOF-74 make it a multifunctional adsorbent with strong potential for carbon capture and magnetically assisted regeneration applications.
