Size‐Dependent Phase Transformation of Catalytically Active Nanoparticles Captured In Situ

The utilization of metal nanoparticles traverses across disciplines and we continue to explore the intrinsic size‐dependent properties that make them so unique. Ideal nanoparticle formulation to improve a process’s efficiency is classically presented as exposing a greater surface area to volume ratio through decreasing the nanoparticle size. Although, the physiochemical characteristics of the nanoparticles, such as phase, structure, or behavior, may be influenced by the nature of the environment in which the nanoparticles are subjected 1 , 2 and, in some cases, could potentially lead to unwanted side effects. The degree of this influence on the particle properties can be size‐dependent, which is seldom highlighted in research. Herein we reveal such an effect in an industrially valuable cobalt Fischer–Tropsch synthesis (FTS) catalyst using novel in situ characterization. We expose a direct correlation that exists between the cobalt nanoparticle’s size and a phase transformation, which ultimately leads to catalyst deactivation.     

Simultaneous extraction of trace amounts of cobalt, nickel and copper ions using magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles without chelating agent

The present study investigates the application of Fe₃O₄ nanoparticles as an adsorbent for solid phase extraction and their subsequent determination of trace amounts of cobalt, nickel and copper from environmental water samples using flame atomic absorption spectrometry. The analyte ions were adsorbed on magnetic nanoparticles in the pH range of 10–12 and then, Fe₃O₄ nanoparticles were easily separated from the aqueous solution by applying an external magnetic field and decantation. Hence, no filtration or centrifugation was needed. After extraction and collection of magnetic nanoparticles, the analyte ions were desorbed using 1.0 M HNO₃. Several factors that may affect the preconcentration and extraction process, including pH, type and volume of eluent, sample volume, salt effect and matrix effect were optimized. Under the optimized conditions, linearity was maintained from 0.005–3.0 μg/mL for cobalt and nickel and 0.001 to 1.25 μg/mL for copper in the initial solution. The detection limits of this method for cobalt, nickel and copper ions were 0.9, 0.7 and 0.3 ng/mL, respectively. Finally, the method was successfully applied to the extraction and determination of the analyte ions in natural waters and reference plant samples.     

Synthesis of CoPt nanorods in ionic liquids

Cobalt platinum nanorods, hyperbranched nanorods, and nanoparticles were synthesized in 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide, [BMIM][Tf2N], ionic liquid though the thermal reduction of platinum acetylacetonate, and cobalt acetylacetonate at 350 degrees C in the presence of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB). It was found that the morphology, composition, and crystal phase of the resultant CoPt alloy nanomaterials could be controlled by changing the concentration and molar ratio of platinum and cobalt reactant precursors.     

Effect of polar solvents on the optical properties of water-dispersible thiol-capped cobalt nanoparticles

We were able to stabilize cobalt nanoparticles dispersible in water by optimizing the synthetic procedure using small polar thiol containing compounds as the capping agents. The nanoparticles were found to be spherical. The optical properties of the cobalt nanoparticles were investigated by monitoring the changes in the surface plasmon resonance (SPR) spectrum in various polar solvents. The extent of solvent dependence of the SPR spectrum was found to be dependent on the nature of the capping agent, the size of the cobalt nanoparticles, as well as the nature of the solvent. The Drude model was applicable for the particles capped with mercaptopropionic acid, while the effect of variations in the free electron density in the particles at different solvents became predominant in the nanoparticles capped with mercaptoethanol. The absorption spectra of the Co nanoparticles were simulated with the help of the classical Mie theory, and the results supported the effect of free electron density due to different capping agents on the spectra of the particles.     

Nanostructured block-random copolymers with tunable magnetic properties

It was recently shown that block copolymers (BCPs) produced room-temperature ferromagnetic materials (RTFMs) due to their nanoscopic ordering and the cylindrical phase yielded the highest coercivity. Here, a series of metal-containing block-random copolymers composed of an alkyl-functionalized homo block (C(16)) and a random block of cobalt complex- (Co) and ferrocene-functionalized (Fe) units was synthesized via ring-opening metathesis polymerization. Taking advantage of the block-random architecture, the influence of dipolar interactions on the magnetic properties of these nanostructured BCP materials was studied by varying the molar ratio of the Co units to the Fe units, while maintaining the cylindrical phase-separated morphology. DC magnetic measurements, including magnetization versus field, zero-field-cooled, and field-cooled, as well as AC susceptibility measurements showed that the magnetic properties of the nanostructured BCP materials could be easily tuned by diluting the cobalt density with Fe units in the cylindrical domains. Decreasing the cobalt density weakened the dipolar interactions of the cobalt nanoparticles, leading to the transition from a room temperature ferromagnetic (RTF) to a superparamagnetic material. These results confirmed that dipolar interactions of the cobalt nanoparticles within the phase-separated domains were responsible for the RTF properties of the nanostructured BCP materials.     

The Role of Water for the Phase‐Selective Preparation of Hexagonal and Cubic Cobalt Oxide Nanoparticles

A selective preparation and the formation mechanism of hexagonal and cubic CoO nanoparticles from the reaction of [Co(acac)₂] (acac=acetylacetonate) and amine have been investigated. CoO nanoparticles with a hexagonal pyramidal shape were yielded under decomposition conditions with amine. Importantly, the addition of water altered the final phase to cubic and comprehensively changed the reaction mechanism. The average sizes of the hexagonal and cubic CoO nanoparticles could be controlled either by changing the amine concentration or by using different reaction temperatures. Detailed formation mechanisms are proposed on the basis of gas chromatography–mass spectrometry data and color changes of the reaction mixture. The hexagonal CoO phase is obtained through two distinct pathways: solvolysis with C C bond cleavage and direct condensation by amine. On the other hand, the cubic CoO nanoparticles were synthesized by strong nucleophilic attack of hydroxide ions from water and subsequent C C bond breaking. The resulting caboxylate ligand can stabilize a cobalt hydroxide intermediate, leading to the generation of a thermodynamically stable CoO phase.     

Chemical synthesis of magnetic nanoparticles

Recent advances in the synthesis of various magnetic nanoparticles using colloidal chemical approaches are reviewed. Typically, these approaches involve either rapid injection of reagents into hot surfactant solution followed by aging at high temperature, or the mixing of reagents at a low temperature and slow heating under controlled conditions. Spherical cobalt nanoparticles with various crystal structures have been synthesized by thermally decomposing dicobalt octacarbonyl or by reducing cobalt salts. Nanoparticles of Fe-Pt and other related iron or cobalt containing alloys have been made by simultaneously reacting their constituent precursors. Many different ferrite nanoparticles have been synthesized by the thermal decomposition of organometallic precursors followed by oxidation or by low-temperature reactions inside reverse micelles. Rod-shaped iron nanoparticles have been synthesized from the oriented growth of spherical nanoparticles, and cobalt nanodisks were synthesized from the thermal decomposition of dicobalt octacarbonyl in the presence of a mixture of two surfactants.     

Novel magnetic SPE method based on carbon nanotubes filled with cobalt ferrite for the analysis of organochlorine pesticides in honey and tea

A novel magnetic SPE method based on magnetic cobalt ferrite filled carbon nanotubes (MFCNTs) coupled with GC with electron capture detection was developed to determine organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) in tea and honey samples. The MFCNTs were prepared through the capillarity of carbon nanotubes for drawing mixed cobalt and iron nitrates solution into their inner cavity followed by heating to 550°C under Ar to form the cobalt ferrite nanoparticles. SEM images provided visible evidence of the filled cobalt ferrite nanoparticles in the multiwalled nanotubes. X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy indicated no adhesion of cobalt ferrite nanoparticles and metal salts on the outer surface of the MFCNTs. Eight OCPs were extracted with the MFCNTs. The enrichment factors were in the range of 52–68 for eight OCPs. The LODs for the eight OCPs were in the range of 1.3–3.6 ng/L. The recoveries of the OCPs for honey and tea samples were 83.2–128.7 and 72.6–111.0%, respectively. The RSDs for these samples were below 6.8%. The new method is particularly suited to extract nonpolar and weakly polar analytes from a complex matrix and could potentially be extended to other target analytes.     

Iron and cobalt oxide and metallic nanoparticles prepared from ferritin

Metallic Fe and Co and Fe- and Co-based oxide nanoparticles were prepared by a novel method utilizing the biologically relevant protein ferritin. In particular, iron and cobalt oxyhydroxide nanoparticles were assembled within horse spleen and Listeria innocua derived ferritin, respectively, in the aqueous phase. Ferritin containing either Fe or Co oxide was transferred and dried on a SiO2 support where the protein shell was removed during exposure to a highly oxidizing environment. It was also shown that the metal oxide particles could be reduced to the respective metal by heating in hydrogen. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy was used to characterize the composition of the particles and atomic force microscopy was used to characterize the size of the nanoparticles. Depending on the Fe or Co loading and/or type of ferritin used, metallic and oxide nanoparticles could be produced within a range of 20-60 A.
