Iron Oxide Nanoparticles Embedded onto 3D Mesochannels of KIT‐6 with Different Pore Diameters and Their Excellent Magnetic Properties

Here, we report the results of our detailed study on the fabrication of iron oxide magnetic nanoparticles confined in mesoporous silica KIT‐6 with a 3D structure and large, tunable pore diameters. It was confirmed by XRD, nitrogen adsorption, high‐resolution (HR) TEM, and magnetic measurements that highly dispersed iron oxide nanoparticles are occupied inside the mesochannels of KIT‐6. We also demonstrated that the size of the iron oxide nanoparticle can be controlled by simply changing the pore diameter of the KIT‐6 and the weight percentage of the iron oxide nanoparticles. The effect of the weight percentage and size of the iron oxide nanoparticles, and the textural parameters of the support on the magnetic properties of iron oxide/KIT‐6 has been demonstrated. The magnetization increases with decreasing iron content in the pore channels of KIT‐6, whereas coercivity decreases for the same samples. Among the KIT‐6 materials studied, KIT‐6 with 7.5 wt % of iron showed the highest saturation magnetic moment and magnetic remanence. However, all the samples register a coercivity of around 2000 Oe, which is generally observed for the hard magnetic materials. In addition, we have found a paramagnetic‐to‐superparamagnetic transition at low temperature for samples with different iron content at low temperature. The cause for this exciting transition is also discussed in detail. Magnetic properties of the iron oxide loaded KIT‐6 were also compared with pure iron oxide and iron oxide loaded over SBA‐15. It was found that iron oxide loaded KIT‐6 showed the highest magnetization due to its 3D structure and large pore volume. The pore diameter of the iron oxide loaded KIT‐6 support also plays a critical role in controlling the magnetization and the blocking temperature, which has a direct relation to the particle diameter and increases from 48 to 63 K with an increase in the pore diameter of the support from 8 to 11.3 nm.     

Simple Surfactant Concentration‐Dependent Shape Control of Polyhedral Fe3O4 Nanoparticles and Their Magnetic Properties

The shape and size of monodisperse Fe₃O₄ nanoparticles (NPs) are controlled using a chemical solution synthesis in the presence of the surfactant cetylpyridinium chloride (CPC). Cubic Fe₃O₄ NPs surrounded by six {100} planes are obtained in the absence of CPC. Increasing the CPC content during synthesis causes the shape of the resulting Fe₃O₄ NPs to change from cubic to truncated cubic, cuboctahedral, truncated octahedral, and finally octahedral. During this evolution, the predominantly exposed planes of the Fe₃O₄ NPs vary from {100} to {111}. The shape control results from the synergistic effect of the pyridinium cations, chloride anions, and long‐chain alkyl groups of CPC, which is confirmed by comparison with NPs synthesized in the presence of various related cationic surfactants. The size of the cubic Fe₃O₄ NPs can be tuned from 50 to 200 nm, by changing the concentration of oleic acid in the reaction solution. The Fe₃O₄ NPs exhibit shape‐dependent saturation magnetization, remanent magnetization, and coercivity.     

Fe1−yO Nanoparticles: Organometallic Synthesis and Magnetic Properties

Non‐stoichiometric wüstite particles (Fe_1?yO) are synthesized using the controlled room‐temperature hydrolysis of the organometallic precursor {Fe[N(SiMe₃)₂]₂}. Particles stabilized by hexadecylamine with a diameter of ～5 nm are obtained. For such small nanoparticles, a distorted crystallographic structure is evidenced by wide‐angle X‐ray scattering at room temperature and reported for the first time. The study of the magnetic properties indicates that these particles are composed of an antiferromagnetic core surrounded by a ferromagnetic shell. According to the Néel theory, we demonstrate that this shell consists of 1.5 % of Fe³⁺ ions ferromagnetically coupled with Fe²⁺ ions.     

铁酸钴纳米微粒的共沉淀法制备和磁性质(英)

The cobalt ferrite nanoparticles were prepared by coprecipitation in the presence of poly (N-vinylpyrrolidone) (PVP) and characterized by XRD, TEM, EDX and magnetometry. XRD results suggest the formation of pure cobalt ferrite. The mean particle sizes of CoFe₂O₄ samples annealed at 400 ℃ and 600 ℃ were ca. 6 and 25 nm, respectively as obtained by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The magnetic measurements indicated that nano-particles obtained at 400 ℃ were superparamagnetic while that prepared at 600 ℃ were ferrimagnetic.

The technique relies on the very fast etching speed of the grain interface within bi‐ or polycrystalline nanocrystals.

     

Carbonic Anhydrase Immobilized on Encapsulated Magnetic Nanoparticles for CO2 Sequestration

Bovine carbonic anhydrase (BCA) was covalently immobilized onto OAPS (octa(aminophenyl)silsesquioxane)‐functionalized Fe₃O₄/SiO₂ nanoparticles by using glutaraldehyde as a spacer. The Fe₃O₄ nanoparticles were coated with SiO₂, onto which was grafted OAPS, and the product was characterized using SEM, TEM, XRD, IR, X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and magnetometer analysis. The enzymatic activities of the free and Fe₃O₄/SiO₂/OAPS‐conjugated BCA (Fe? CA) were investigated by hydrolyzing p‐nitrophenylacetate (p‐NPA), and hydration and sequestration of CO₂ to CaCO₃. The CO₂ conversion efficiency and reusability of the Fe? CA were studied before and after washing the recovered Fe? CA by applying a magnetic field and quantifying the unreacted Ca²⁺ ions by using ion chromatography. After 30 cycles, the Fe? CA displayed strong activity, and the CO₂ capture efficiency was 26‐fold higher than that of the free enzyme. Storage stability studies suggested that Fe? CA retained nearly 82 % of its activity after 30 days. Nucleation of the precipitated CaCO₃ was monitored by using polarized light microscopy, which revealed the formation of two phases, calcite and valerite, at pH 10 upon addition of serine. The magnetic nanobiocatalyst was shown to be an excellent reusable catalyst for the sequestration of CO_2.     

Quantitative Evaluation of the Total Magnetic Moments of Colloidal Magnetic Nanoparticles: A Kinetics‐based Method

A kinetics‐based method is proposed to quantitatively characterize the collective magnetization of colloidal magnetic nanoparticles. The method is based on the relationship between the magnetic force on a colloidal droplet and the movement of the droplet under a gradient magnetic field. Through computational analysis of the kinetic parameters, such as displacement, velocity, and acceleration, the magnetization of colloidal magnetic nanoparticles can be calculated. In our experiments, the values measured by using our method exhibited a better linear correlation with magnetothermal heating, than those obtained by using a vibrating sample magnetometer and magnetic balance. This finding indicates that this method may be more suitable to evaluate the collective magnetism of colloidal magnetic nanoparticles under low magnetic fields than the commonly used methods. Accurate evaluation of the magnetic properties of colloidal nanoparticles is of great importance for the standardization of magnetic nanomaterials and for their practical application in biomedicine.     

General Protocol for the Synthesis of Functionalized Magnetic Nanoparticles for Magnetic Resonance Imaging from Protected Metal–Organic Precursors

The development of magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) with functional groups has been intensively pursued in recent years. Herein, a simple, versatile, and cost‐effective strategy to synthesize water‐soluble and amino‐functionalized MNPs, based on the thermal decomposition of phthalimide‐protected metal–organic precursors followed by deprotection, was developed. The resulting amino‐functionalized Fe₃O₄, MnFe₂O₄, and Mn₃O₄ MNPs with particle sizes of about 14.3, 7.5, and 6.6 nm, respectively, had narrow size distributions and good dispersibility in water. These MNPs also exhibited high magnetism and relaxivities of r₂=107.25 mM^?1 s^?1 for Fe₃O₄, r₂=245.75 mM^?1 s^?1 for MnFe₂O₄, and r₁=2.74 mM^?1 s^?1 for Mn₃O₄. The amino‐functionalized MNPs were further conjugated with a fluorescent dye (rhodamine B) and a targeting ligand (folic acid: FA) and used as multifunctional probes. Magnetic resonance imaging and flow‐cytometric studies showed that these probes could specifically target cancer cells overexpressing FA receptors. This new protocol opens a new way for the synthesis and design of water‐soluble and amino‐functionalized MNPs by an easy and versatile route.     

Selective Synthesis of Silver Nanoparticles onto Potassium Hexaniobate: Structural Organisation with Bactericidal Properties

Silver‐based nanocomposites are known to act as biocides against a series of microorganisms and are largely studied as an alternative to substitute conventional antibiotics that show decreasing efficacy. In this work, an eco‐friendly method to synthesize silver nanoparticles assembled on the surface of hexaniobate crystals is reported. By means of ion exchange, K⁺ ions of layered potassium hexaniobate were partially substituted by Ag⁺ ions and the resulting material was exposed to UV light. The irradiation allowed the reduction of silver ions with consequent formation of silver nanoparticles located only on the hexaniobate surface, whereas Ag⁺ ions located in the interlayer space remained in the ionic form. Increasing UV‐light exposure times allowed controlling of the silver nanoparticle size. The antibacterial effects of the pristine potassium hexaniobate and of silver‐containing hexaniobate samples were tested against Escherichia coli (E. coli). The antibacterial efficacy was determined to be related to the presence of silver in hexaniobate. An increasing activity against E. coli was observed with the decrease in silver nanoparticles size, suggesting that silver nanoparticles of distinct sizes interact differently with bacterial cell walls.     

Experimental and First‐Principles Characterization of Functionalized Magnetic Nanoparticles

Magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles synthesized by coprecipitation and thermal decomposition yield largely monodisperse size distributions. The diameters of the coprecipitated particles measured by X‐ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy are between approximately 9 and 15 nm, whereas the diameters of thermally decomposed particles are in the range of 8 to 10 nm. Coprecipitated particles are indexed as magnetite‐rich and thermally decomposed particles as maghemite‐rich; however, both methods produce a mixture of magnetite and maghemite. Fourier transform IR spectra reveal that the nanoparticles are coated with at least two layers of oleic acid (OA) surfactant. The inner layer is postulated to be chemically adsorbed on the nanoparticle surface whereas the rest of the OA is physically adsorbed, as indicated by carboxyl O? H stretching modes above 3400 cm^?1. Differential thermal analysis (DTA) results indicate a double‐stepped weight loss process, the lower‐temperature step of which is assigned to condensation due to physically adsorbed or low‐energy bonded OA moieties. Density functional calculations of Fe–O clusters, the inverse spinel cell, and isolated OA, as well as OA in bidentate linkage with ferrous and ferric atoms, suggest that the higher‐temperature DTA stage could be further broken down into two regions: one in which condensation is due ferrous/ferrous– and/or ferrous/ferric–OA and the other due to condensation from ferrous/ferric– and ferric/ferric–OA complexes. The latter appear to form bonds with the OA carbonyl group of energy up to fivefold that of the bond formed by the ferrous/ferrous pairs. Molecular orbital populations indicate that such increased stability of the ferric/ferric pair is due to the contribution of the low‐lying Fe³⁺ t_2g states into four bonding orbitals between ?0.623 and ?0.410 a.u.
