Vast magnetic monolayer film with surfactant-stabilized Fe3O4 nanoparticles using Langmuir-Blodgett technique

Although several methods (e.g., self-assembly, spin coating, etc.) have been explored for making a monolayer film of nanoparticles, the monolayer on a substrate is typically smaller than 1 micromx1 microm in certain regions. The approach is not ideally suitable for generating a highly ordered and close-packed homogeneous vast monolayer of nanoparticles, which is potentially important for applications. In this report, the preparation of the vast monolayer films of Fe3O4 nanoparticles with a wide range such as that over 3.25 micromx3.95 microm is reported. Their TEM images showed a two-dimensional assembly of Fe3O4 nanoparticles, demonstrating the uniformity of these nanoparticles. The formation of a Langmuir monolayer of the oleic acid-coated Fe3O4 nanoparticles mixed with stearic acid molecules at the air/water interface and its stability were studied with a pressure-area isotherm curve. TEM and BAM studies demonstrated that increasing surface pressure resulted in a transition from well-separated domains of nanoparticles complex to well-compressed, monoparticulate layers.     

Oriented assembly of Fe3O4 nanoparticles into monodisperse hollow single-crystal microspheres

Magnetite nanoparticles of Fe3O4 were found to assemble into monodisperse hollow Fe3O4 microspheres with tunable diameters ranging from 200 to 400 nm and open pores on the shells in ethylene glycol in the presence of dodecylamine (DDA). The oriented assembly of nanoparticles conferred the individual hollow Fe3O4 microspheres a remarkable feature of single crystals. The morphologies of the products could be easily manipulated by varying the synthesis parameters. Increasing the concentration of DDA led to an obvious shape evolution of the products from rhombic nanoparticles to hollow microspheres, solid microspheres, and finally irregular nanoparticles, which were mainly attributed to the special self-assembly phenomenon of Fe3O4 nanoparticles in the solvothermal process.     

Fabrication of superparamagnetic macroporous Fe3O4 and its derivates using colloidal crystals as templates

In this paper, we reported the preparation of superparamagnetic macroporous Fe(3)O(4) and its derivates using organic colloidal crystal as templates and their catalytic activity for chemical vapor deposition. The poly(styrene-methyl methacrylate-acrylic acid) (P(St-MMA-AA)) copolymer colloids were deposited in an orderly manner onto the silicon surface, together with the infiltration of the Fe(3)O(4) nanoparticles into the interspaces of the colloids. The formed hybrid colloidal crystal subsequently was immersed in tetrahydrofuran to remove the organic components fully to obtain a macroporous Fe(3)O(4) framework with three-dimensional porous structure. The macroporous Fe(3)O(4) exhibits superparamagnetism due to the magnetic coupling of Fe(3)O(4) nanoparticles in the structure. Macroporous Fe(2)O(3) and Fe materials were obtained based on oxidization and reduction of the macroporous Fe(3)O(4), respectively. It was demonstrated that the macroporous Fe(3)O(4) materials possess catalytic activity and can induce growth of carbon nanotubes.     

Formation of a three-dimensional microstructure of Fe3O4-poly(vinyl alcohol) composite by evaporating the hydrosol under a magnetic field

First, we perform new, facile, and direct fabrication of a stable hydrosol of Fe3O4 nanoparticles, based on the sonolysis of an aqueous solution of iron acetate in the presence of PVA-100,000. This is then followed by investigations of the formation of different microstructures obtained on drying a drop of the water suspension on a glass microscope substrate. The evaporation was carried out both without and in the presence of an external magnetic field.

Electrocatalytic and magnetic properties of ultrathin nanostructured iron-melanin films on Au(111)

We have prepared ultrathin, nanostructured melanin films on Au(111) by means of electrochemical self-assembly. These films were characterized by using Auger electron spectroscopy, X-ray absorption near-edge structure spectroscopy, scanning tunneling microscopy, magnetic force microscopy, and electrochemical techniques. Two types of nanostructures are present in the film: melanin nanoparticles and Fe(3)O(4) nanoparticles. The melanin nanoparticles contain Fe bonded to oxygen-containing phenolic groups in an octahedral configuration similar to that found in Fe(2)O(3). The inorganic-organic composite exhibits magnetic properties and catalyzes the electroreduction of hydrogen peroxide in alkaline and neutral electrolyte solutions. The electrocatalytic activity depends on the Fe-bound melanin and appears to be similar to that found for Fe-porphyrins.     

Preparation of surface plasmon resonance biosensor based on magnetic core/shell Fe3O4/SiO2 and Fe3O4/Ag/SiO2 nanoparticles

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.     

Surfactant-resisted assembly of Fe-containing nanoparticles for site-specific growth of SWNTs on Si surface

This paper describes a facile approach to the site-specific growth of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) on silicon surfaces by chemical vapor deposition (CVD). The approach is based on the use of a surfactant as a resist to define patterns of silicon oxide nanodomains onto which nanoparticles of iron hydroxide (Fe(OH)3), 1-5 nm diameter, could be deposited. In base growth mode, the SWNTs can grow from the oxide nanodomains. By controlling the location of oxide nanodomains, site-specific growth could be obtained. The iron hydroxide nanoparticles were prepared by hydrolysis of ferric chloride (FeCl3). Patterned hydroxylated silicon oxide nanodomains were created by scanning probe oxidation (SPO) of silicon substrates modified with aminopropyltrimethoxysilane (APTMS, H2N(CH2)3Si(OCH3)3). Due to electrostatic interaction, Fe(OH)3 nanoparticles can be selectively deposited on hydroxyl groups present on silicon oxide nanodomains. To inhibit the assembly of the nanoparticles on a APTMS-coated silicon surface, sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) was introduced, which restricted deposition to the hydroxylated nanodomains. A model mechanism for the selective deposition mechanism has been proposed. It was possible to convert the patterned Fe(OH)3 nanoparticles to iron oxide, which served as a catalyst for the site-specific growth of SWNTs. Raman spectroscopy and AFM were used to characterize the nanotubes on the Si substrate. This will offer the possibility for future integration with conventional microelectronics as well as the development of novel devices.
