Abstract Hierarchically porous ferriferrous oxide (Fe3O4) was facilely synthesized via a sol-gel process accompanied by phase separation, and further graft modified by dopamine (DA) and polyamido-amine (PAMAM) to prepare macroporous Fe3O4@DA@PAMAM for heavy metal ions adsorption. Appropriate phase separation inducer (poly(acrylamide), PAA) and solvent allows the formation of iron oxide xerogels with interconnected macropores and cocontinuous skeletons. Two-step heat treatment at 200 °C for 30 min in air and then at 500 °C for 2 h in N2 atmosphere leads to the precipitation of crystalline phase, Fe3O4, with high magnetic properties, without any deterioration of the macrostructure. The macroporous Fe3O4@DA@PAMAM show a core-shell structure and high adsorption capacity for Cu(II), Pb(II), and Cd(II) ions, which are promisingly used for removal of heavy metal ions. Graphical Abstract The sol-gel process accompanied by phase separation and two-step heat treatment allow the synthesis of hierarchically porous ferriferrous oxide (Fe3O4) with high magnetic properties. Further graft modification by dopamine (DA) and polyamido-amine (PAMAM) leads to prepare macroporous Fe3O4@DA@PAMAM for heavy metal ions adsorption.

Highlights ● Hierarchically porous Fe3O4 was synthesized via a sol-gel accompanied by phase separation, followed by two-step heat treatment. ● Macroporous Fe3O4@DA@PAMAM can be obtained by graft modification of dopamine (DA) and polyamido-amine (PAMAM). ● Benefiting from the core-shell structure and macrostructure, the Fe3O4@DA@PAMAM possesses excellent adsorption capability.

1 Introduction Magnetic nanomaterials are widely used in many fields, such as heavy metal adsorption, chemical, and biochemical magnetic separation, magnetic drug directional release and optical detection, due to their high specific surface area, controllable pore size, high biocompatibility, es
