A new cathodic scheme for hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) measurement by Fe₃O₄‐based chemical sensor was described. The unique characteristic of electrocatalytic property was firstly investigated by voltammetry. And then the amperometric response of H₂O₂ was measured at ?0.2 V (vs. Ag/AgCl) by Fe₃O₄ modified glassy carbon rotating disk electrode. The kinetic parameter was also calculated from Koutecky‐Levich plot, and the value was 6.4×10^?4 cm s^?1 in pH 3 citrate buffer. In order to benefit the possible biomedical applications, Fe₃O₄/chitosan modified electrode was also investigated in this experiment. There were several characteristic enhancements by the coated chitosan thin film for H₂O₂ sensor. The calibration curves were found to be linear up to 4.0 and 5.0 mM (r=0.999) in pH 3 and 7 with the detection limits of 7.6 and 7.4 μM L^?1 (S/N=3). The stability was evaluated by the results of half‐life time (t_50%) for 9 months at room temperature and 24 months at 4 °C.     

Fluorometric method for the determination of hydrogen peroxide and glucose with Fe3O4 as catalyst

In this paper, we utilized the instinct peroxidase-like property of Fe₃O₄ magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) to establish a new fluorometric method for determination of hydrogen peroxide and glucose. In the presence of Fe₃O₄ MNPs as peroxidase mimetic catalyst, H₂O₂ was decomposed into radical that could quench the fluorescence of CdTe QDs more efficiently and rapidly. Then the oxidization of glucose by glucose oxidase was coupled with the fluorescence quenching of CdTe QDs by H₂O₂ producer with Fe₃O₄ MNPs catalyst, which can be used to detect glucose. Under the optimal reaction conditions, a linear correlation was established between fluorescence intensity ratio I₀/I and concentration of H₂O₂ from 1.8 × 10⁻⁷ to 9 × 10⁻⁴ mol/L with a detection limit of 1.8 × 10⁻⁸ mol/L. And a linear correlation was established between fluorescence intensity ratio I₀/I and concentration of glucose from 1.6 × 10⁻⁶ to 1.6 × 10⁻⁴ mol/L with a detection limit of 1.0 × 10⁻⁶ mol/L. The proposed method was applied to the determination of glucose in human serum samples with satisfactory results.

In this study, we present kinetics of phenol dyes removal by SnO₂/Fe₃O₄ nanoparticles in a photocatalytic reactor for optimization of this process. The effect of different concentrations of SnO₂ 5, 10, 15, 20% w/w on the photocatalytic reactor during removal of phenol red was investigated.

Efficiency of Fe3O4 Nanoparticles with Different Pretreatments for Enhancing Biogas Yield of Macroalgae Ulva intestinalis Linnaeus

In this work, different pretreatment methods for algae proved to be very effective in improving cell wall dissociation for biogas production. In this study, the Ulva intestinalis Linnaeus (U. intestinalis) has been exposed to individual pretreatments of (ultrasonic, ozone, microwave, and green synthesized Fe₃O₄) and in a combination of the first three mentioned pretreatments methods with magnetite (Fe₃O₄) NPs, (ultrasonic-Fe₃O₄, ozone-Fe₃O₄ and microwave-Fe₃O₄) in different treatment times. Moreover, the green synthesized Fe₃O₄ NPs has been confirmed by FTIR, TEM, XRD, SEM, EDEX, PSA and BET. The maximum biogas production of 179 and 206 mL/g VS have been attained when U. intestinalis has been treated with ultrasonic only and when combined microwave with Fe₃O₄ respectively, where sediment were used as inoculum in all pretreatments. From the obtained results, green Fe₃O₄ NPs enhanced the microwave (MW) treatment to produce a higher biogas yield (206 mL/g VS) when compared with individual MW (84 mL/g VS). The modified Gompertz model (R² = 0.996 was appropriate model to match the calculated biogas production and could be used more practically to distinguish the kinetics of the anaerobic digestion (AD) period. The assessment of XRD, SEM and FTIR discovered the influence of different treatment techniques on the cell wall structure of U. intestinalis.

In this paper, surface plasmon resonance biosensors based on magnetic core/shell Fe(3)O(4)/SiO(2) and Fe(3)O(4)/Ag/SiO(2) nanoparticles were developed for immunoassay. With Fe(3)O(4) and Fe(3)O(4)/Ag nanoparticles being used as seeding materials, Fe(3)O(4)/SiO(2) and Fe(3)O(4)/Ag/SiO(2) nanoparticles were formed by hydrolysis of tetraethyl orthosilicate. The aldehyde group functionalized magnetic nanoparticles provide organic functionality for bioconjugation. The products were characterized by scanning electronic microscopy (SEM), transmission electronic microscopy (TEM), FTIR and UV-vis absorption spectrometry. The magnetic nanoparticles possess the unique superparamagnetism property, exceptional optical properties and good compatibilities, and could be used as immobilization matrix for goat anti-rabbit IgG. The magnetic nanoparticles can be easily immobilized on the surface of SPR biosensor chip by a magnetic pillar. The effects of Fe(3)O(4)/SiO(2) and Fe(3)O(4)/Ag/SiO(2) nanoparticles on the sensitivity of SPR biosensors were also investigated. As a result, the SPR biosensors based on Fe(3)O(4)/SiO(2) nanoparticles and Fe(3)O(4)/Ag/SiO(2) nanoparticles exhibit a response for rabbit IgG in the concentration range of 1.25-20.00 μg ml(-1) and 0.30-20.00 μg ml(-1), respectively.     

Synthesis of orientedly bioconjugated core/shell Fe3O4@Au magnetic nanoparticles for cell separation

Orientedly bioconjugated core/shell Fe₃O₄@Au magnetic nanoparticles were synthesized for cell separation. The Fe₃O₄@Au magnetic nanoparticles were synthesized by reducing HAuCl₄ on the surfaces of Fe₃O₄ nanoparticles, which were further characterized in detail by TEM, XRD and UV-vis spectra. Anti-CD3 monoclonal antibody was orientedly bioconjugated to the surface of Fe₃O₄@Au nanoparticles through affinity binding between the Fc portion of the antibody and protein A that covalently immobilized on the nanoparticles. The oriented immobilization method was performed to compare its efficiency for cell separation with the non-oriented one, in which the antibody was directly immobilized onto the carboxylated nanoparticle surface. Results showed that the orientedly bioconjugated Fe₃O₄@Au MNPs successfully pulled down CD3⁺ T cells from the whole splenocytes with high efficiency of up to 98.4%, showing a more effective cell-capture nanostructure than that obtained by non-oriented strategy. This developed strategy for the synthesis and oriented bioconjugation of Fe₃O₄@Au MNPs provides an efficient tool for cell separation, and may be further applied to various fields of bioanalytical chemistry for diagnosis, affinity extraction and biosensor.

This work describes a magnetic Fe₃O₄/graphene oxide (GO)-based solid-phase extraction (MSPE) technique for high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) detection of malachite green (MG) and crystal violet (CV) in environmental water samples. Fe₃O₄/ GO magnetic nanoparticles were synthesised by a chemical co-precipitation method and characterised by scanning electron micrograph, transmission electron microscope, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and surface area analyser. The prepared Fe₃O₄/GO magnetic nanoparticles were used as the adsorbents of MSPE for MG and CV. By coupling with HPLC, a sensitive and cost-effective method for simultaneous determination of MG and CV was developed. The important parameters including the amount of Fe₃O₄/GO, pH of the sample solution, extraction time, salt effect, the type and volume of desorption solvent were investigated in detail. Under optimised conditions, the calibration curves were linear in the concentration range of 0.5–200 μg L^?1, and the limits of detection were 0.091 and 0.12 μg L^?1 for MG and CV, respectively. Finally, the established MSPE-HPLC method was successfully applied to determine MG and CV in environmental water samples with the recoveries ranging from 91.5% to116.7%.     

Amperometric Immunosensor Based on Gold Nanoparticles/Fe3O4-FCNTs-CS Composite Film Functionalized Interface for Carbofuran Detection

In this paper, a novel amperometric immunosensor for the determination of carbofuran based on gold nanoparticles (GNPs), magnetic Fe₃O₄ nanoparticles-functionalized multiwalled carbon nanotubes-chitosan (Fe₃O₄-FCNTs-CS), and bovine serum albumin (BSA) composite film was proposed. First, GNPs were immobilized onto the glassy carbon electrode (GCE) surface, and then the magnetic Fe₃O₄ nanoparticles mixed with chitosan-functionalized multiwall carbon nanotubes (CS-FCNTs) homogeneous composite (CS-FCNTs-Fe₃O₄) was immobilized onto the GNPs layer by electrostatic interactions between amino groups of CS and GNPs. Because chitosan (CS) contains many amino groups, it can absorb more antibodies. FCNTs have high surface area, high electrical conductivity, and it can enhance the electron transfer rate; Magnetite (Fe₃O₄) nanoparticles can provide a favorable microenvironment for biomolecules immobilization due to their good biocompatibility, strong superparamagnetic property, and low toxicity; and GNPs possess high surface-to-volume reaction, stability, and high conductivity. Gold Nanoparticles/Fe₃O₄-FCNTs-CS composite film was constructed onto the GCE surface, which had significant synergistic effects toward immunoreaction signal amplification. The stepwise assembly process was characterized by cyclic voltammetry (CV) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), respectively. Under the optimal conditions, the current response was proportional to the concentration of carbofuran ranging from 1.0 ng/mL to 100.0 ng/mL and from 100.0 ng/mL to 200 µg/mL with the detection limit 0.032 ng/mL. The proposed immunosensor exhibited good accuracy, high sensitivity, and stability, and it can be used for detection of carbofuran pesticide.

Fabrication and Characterization of Nanocomposite Flexible Membranes of PVA and Fe3O4

Composite polymer membranes of poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) and iron oxide (Fe₃O₄) nanoparticles were produced in this work. X-ray diffraction measurements demonstrated the formation of Fe₃O₄ nanoparticles of cubic structures. The nanoparticles were synthesized by a coprecipitation technique and added to PVA solutions with different concentrations. The solutions were then used to generate flexible membranes by a solution casting method. The size and shape of the nanoparticles were investigated using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The average size of the nanoparticles was 20±9 nm. Raman spectroscopy and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) were utilized to investigate the structure of the membranes, as well as their vibration modes. Thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) demonstrated the thermal stability of the membranes and the crystallinity degree. Electrical characteristics of the thin membranes were examined using impedance spectroscopy as a function of the nanoparticles’ concentrations and temperatures. The resistivity of the fabricated flexible membranes was possible to adjust by controlled doping with suitable concentrations of nanoparticles. The activation energy decreased with the nanoparticles’ concentrations due to the increase in charge carriers’ concentrations. Therefore, the fabricated membranes may be applied for practical applications that involve the recycling of nanoparticles for multiple application cycles.     

General Preparation of Heme Protein Functional Fe3O4@Au‐Nps Magnetic Nanocomposite for Sensitive Detection of Hydrogen Peroxide

Stable magnetic nanocomposite of gold nanoparticles (Au‐NPs) decorating Fe₃O₄ core was successfully synthesized by the linker of Boc‐L‐cysteine. Transmission electron microscope (TEM), energy dispersive X‐ray spectroscopy (EDX) and cyclic voltammograms (CV) were performed to characterize the as‐prepared Fe₃O₄@Au‐Nps. The results indicated that Au‐Nps dispersed homogeneously around Fe₃O₄ with the ratio of Au to Fe₃O₄ nanoparticles as 5–10/1 and the apparent electrochemical area as 0.121 cm². After self‐assembly of hemoglobin (Hb) on Fe₃O₄@Au‐Nps by electrostatic interaction, a hydrogen peroxide biosensor was developed. The Fe₃O₄@Au‐Nps/Hb modified GCE exhibited fast direct electron transfer between heme center and electrode surface with the heterogeneous electron transfer rate constant (Ks ) of 3.35 s⁻¹. Importantly, it showed excellent electrocatalytic activity towards hydrogen peroxide reduction with low detection limit of 0.133 μM (S /D =3) and high sensitivity of 0.163 μA μM⁻¹, respectively. At the concentration evaluated, the interfering species of glucose, dopamine, uric acid and ascorbic acid did not affect the determination of hydrogen peroxide. These results demonstrated that the introduction of Au‐Nps on Fe₃O₄ not only stabilized the immobilized enzyme but also provided large surface area, fast electron transfer and excellent biocompatibility. This facile nanoassembly protocol can be extended to immobilize various enzymes, proteins and biomolecules to develop robust biosensors.
