The microstructure of composites was observed using a transmission electron microscope (TEM; TecnaiG2 (link) F20 S-Twin; FEI, Hillsboro, OR, USA) at 200 kV, and the samples were dispersed in ethanol and dropped onto a holey carbon film supported on a Cu grid. Nitrogen isotherm adsorption/desorption was measured at −196°C with a TriStar 3000 analyzer (Micromeritics, Atlanta, GA, USA). The mean size and crystal lattice properties of nanoparticles were analyzed by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD; X’pert PRO; PANalytical B.V., Almelo, the Netherlands) with a scanning range from 20° to 80°. Magnetic characterization was carried out with a vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) on a model 6000 physical property measurement system (Quantum, San Jose, CA, USA) at 300 K. Photosensitizer content, pH responsiveness and amount of 1O2 of RB−MMSNs were characterized by ultraviolet–visible (UV/VIS) spectra (Lambda 25; PerkinElmer, Waltham, MA, USA). Additionally, process of fabrication was validated in the range of 400–4,000cm−1 by the Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) analysis (Nexus Model 470; GMI, Ramsey, MN, USA).
