Stable magnetic nanofluids containing Fe3O4@Polypyrrole (PPy) nanoparticles (NPs) were prepared by using a facile and novel method, in which one-pot route was used.
FeCl3·6H2O was applied as the iron source, and the oxidizing agent to produce PPy. Trisodium citrate (Na3cit) was used as the reducing reagent to form Fe3O4 NPs. The as-prepared nanofluid can keep long-term stability. The Fe3O4@PPy NPs can still keep dispersing well after the nanofluid has been standing for 1 month and no sedimentation is found. The
polymerization reaction of the pyrrole monomers took place with Fe3+ ions as the initiator, in which these Fe3+ ions remained in the solution adsorbed on the surface of the Fe3O4 NPs. Thus, the core-shell NPs of Fe3O4@PPy were obtained. The particle size of the as-prepared Fe3O4@PPy can be easily controlled from 7 to 30 nm by the polymerization reaction of the pyrrole monomers. The steric stabilization
and weight of the NPs affect the stability of the nanofluids. The as-prepared Fe3O4@PPy NPs exhibit superparamagnetic behavior. 相似文献
Preparation of magnetic nanoparticles coated with chitosan (CS-coated Fe3O4 NPs) in one step by the solvothermal method in the presence of different amounts of added chitosan is reported here. The magnetic property of the obtained magnetic composite nanoparticles was confirmed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and magnetic measurements (VSM). Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) allowed the identification of spherical nanoparticles with about 150 nm in average diameter. Characterization of the products by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) demonstrated that CS-coated Fe3O4 NPs were obtained. Chitosan content in the obtained nanocomposites was estimated by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The adsorption properties of the CS-coated Fe3O4 NPs for bovine serum albumin (BSA) were investigated under different concentrations of BSA. Compared with naked Fe3O4 nanoparticles, the CS-coated Fe3O4 NPs showed a higher BSA adsorption capacity (96.5 mg/g) and a fast adsorption rate (45 min) in aqueous solutions. This work demonstrates that the prepared magnetic nanoparticles have promising applications in enzyme and protein immobilization. 相似文献
Summary: Ultrasonic irradiation was employed to prepare polypyrrole (PPY)/Fe3O4 magnetic nanocomposite by chemical oxidative polymerization of pyrrole in the presence of Fe3O4 nanoparticles. This approach can solve the problem in the dispersion and stabilization of inorganic nanoparticles in polymer. The structure and properties of PPY/Fe3O4 nanocomposite were characterized by TEM, XPS, FT‐IR, TG, and XRD. PPY deposits on the surface of Fe3O4 nanoparticles while Fe3O4 nanoparticles are dispersed at the nanoscale by ultrasonic irradiation, which leads to the formation of polypyrrole‐encapsulated Fe3O4 composite particles. The doping level of PPY in PPY/Fe3O4 nanocomposite is higher than that of neat PPY. The composites possess good electrical and magnetic properties. With the increase in the Fe3O4 content, the magnetization increases and the conductivity first increases and then decreases. When the Fe3O4 content is 40 wt.‐%, the conductivity reaches a maximum value of 11.26 S · cm?1, about nine times higher than that of neat PPY, and the saturation magnetization is 23 emu · g?1. Also, the introduction of Fe3O4 nanoparticles enhances the thermal stability of PPY/Fe3O4 composite.

Burning rate measurements were carried out for ammonium perchlorate/hydroxyl‐terminated polybutadiene (AP/HTPB) composite propellants with iron (Fe) nanoparticles as additives. Experiments were performed in a strand burner at pressures from 0.2 to 10 MPa for propellants containing approximately 80 % AP and Fe nanoparticles (60–80 nm) at concentration from 0 to 3 % by weight. It was found that the addition of 1 % Fe nanoparticles increased burning rate by factors of 1.2–1.6. Because Fe nanoparticles are oxidized on the surface and have high surface‐to‐volume ratio, they provide a large surface area of Fe2O3 for AP thermal decomposition catalysis at the burning propellant surface, while also providing added energy release due to the oxidation of nanoparticle sub‐shell Fe. The increase in burning rate due to Fe nanoparticle content is similar to the increase in burning rate caused by the addition of iron oxide (Fe2O3) particles observed in prior literature. 相似文献
In this paper, we investigated the functional imaging properties of magnetic microspheres composed of magnetic core and CdTe quantum dots in the silica shell functionalized with folic acid (FA). The preparation procedure included the preparation of chitosan-coated Fe3O4 nanoparticles (CS-coated Fe3O4 NPs) prepared by a one-pot solvothermal method, the reaction between carboxylic and amino groups under activation of NHS and EDC in order to obtain the CdTe-CS-coated Fe3O4 NPs, and finally the growth of SiO2 shell vent the photoluminescence (PL) quenching via a Stöber method (Fe3O4-CdTe@SiO2). Moreover, in order to have a specific targeting capacity, the magnetic and fluorescent bifunctional microspheres were synthesized by bonding of SiO2 shell with FA molecules via amide reaction (Fe3O4-CdTe@SiO2-FA). The morphology, size, chemical components, and magnetic property of as-prepared composite nanoparticles were characterized by ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy, fluorescent spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), scanning transmission electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM), respectively. The results show that the magnetic and fluorescent bifunctional microspheres have strong luminescent which will be employed for immuno-labeling and fluorescent imaging of HeLa cells. 相似文献
Graphene nanosheet–Fe3O4 (GNS–Fe3O4) hybrids were obtained by a one-step solvothermal reduction of iron (III) acetylacetonate [Fe(acac)3] and graphene oxide (GO) simultaneously, which had several advantages: (1) the Fe3O4 nanoparticles were firmly anchored on GNS surface even after mild ultrasonication; (2) the loading amount of Fe3O4 nanoparticles could be effectively controlled by changing the initial feeding weight ratio of Fe(acac)3 to GO; (3) the Fe3O4 nanoparticles were homogeneously distributed on the GNS surface without much aggregation. Composites based on syndiotactic polystyrene (sPS) and GNS–Fe3O4 were prepared by a solution-blending method and the electric and dielectric properties of the resultant GNS–Fe3O4/sPS composites were investigated. The percolation threshold of GNS–Fe3O4 in the sPS matrix was determined to be 9.41 vol.%. Slightly above the percolation threshold with 9.59 vol.% of GNS–Fe3O4, the GNS–Fe3O4/sPS composite showed a high dielectric permittivity of 123 at 1000 Hz, which was 42 times higher than that of pure sPS. The AC electrical conductivity at 1000 Hz increased from 3.6 × 10−10 S/m for pure sPS to 2.82 × 10−4 S/m for GNS–Fe3O4/sPS composite containing 10.69 vol.% of GNS–Fe3O4, showing an obvious insulator-semiconductor transition. 相似文献
We present a template‐free synthesis of Fe3O4/SiOC(H) nanocomposites with in situ formed Fe3O4 nanoparticles with a size of about 50 nm embedded in a nanoporous SiOC(H) matrix obtained via a polymer‐derived ceramic route. Firstly, a single‐source precursor (SSP) was synthesized by the reaction of allylhydridopolycarbosilane (AHPCS) with Fe‐acetylacetonate [Fe(acac)3] at 140°C. The SSP was heat‐treated at 170°C to generate Fe3O4 nanocrystals in the cross‐linked polymeric matrix. Subsequently, the SSP was pyrolyzed at 600°C–700°C in argon atmosphere to yield porous Fe3O4/SiOC(H) nanocomposites with the high BET surface area up to 390 m2/g, a high micropore surface area of 301 m2/g, and a high micropore volume of 0.142 cm3/g. The Fe‐free SiOC(H) ceramic matrix derived from original AHPCS is nonporous. The in situ formation of Fe3O4 nanoparticles embedded homogeneously within a nanoporous SiOC(H) matrix shows significantly enhanced catalytic degradation of xylene orange in aqueous solution with H2O2 as oxidant as compared with pure commercial Fe3O4 nanoparticles. 相似文献
A novel platform, which hemoglobin (Hb) was immobilized on core–shell structurally Fe3O4/Au nanoparticles (simplified as Fe3O4@Au NPs) modified glassy carbon electrode (GCE), has been developed for fabricating the third biosensors. Fe3O4@Au NPs, characterized using transmission electron microscope (TEM), scanning electron microscope (SEM) and energy dispersive spectra (EDS), were coated onto GCE mediated by chitosan so as to provide larger surface area for anchoring Hb. The thermodynamics, dynamics and catalysis properties of Hb immobilized on Fe3O4@Au NPs were discussed by UV–visible spectrum (UV–vis), electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), electrochemical quartz crystal microbalance technique (EQCM) and cyclic voltammetry (CV). The electrochemical parameters of Hb on Fe3O4@Au NPs modified GCE were further carefully calculated with the results of the effective working area as 3.61 cm2, the surface coverage concentration (Γ) as 1.07 × 10−12 mol cm−2, the electron-transfer rate constant (Ks) as 1.03 s−1, the number of electron transferred (n) as 1.20 and the standard entropy of the immobilized Hb (ΔS0′) as calculated to be −104.1 J mol−1 K−1. The electrocatalytic behaviors of the immobilized Hb on Fe3O4@Au NPs were applied for the determination of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), oxygen (O2) and trichloroacetic acid (TCA). The possible functions of Fe3O4 core and Au shell as a novel platform for achieving Hb direct electrochemistry were discussed, respectively. 相似文献
Fe3O4 nanoparticles (Fe3O4NPs) were prepared by chemical coprecipitation. Deep eutectic solvents (DESs) (ChCl/glycol, 1/2, n/n) were used to modify Fe3O4NPs. The obtained Fe3O4NPs and DESs–Fe3O4NPs were applied for purification of ferulic acid from wheat bran by magnetic solid-phase extraction (MSPE). The satisfactory extraction recoveries for ferulic acid (88.7%) were obtained by changing different washing and eluted solvents. The recovery of the proposed method at three spiked level analysis was 77.9–97.5%, with the relative standard deviation less than 4.5%. DESs–Fe3O4NPs showed good performance for ferulic acid and the proposed approach might offer a novel method for purifying complex samples. 相似文献
A facile route to prepare Fe3O4/polypyrrole (PPY) core-shell magnetic nanoparticles was developed. Fe3O4 nanoparticles were first prepared by a chemical co-precipitation method, and then Fe3O4/PPY coreshell magnetic composite nanoparticles were prepared by in-situ polymerization of pyrrole in the presence of Fe3O4 nanoparticles. The obtained nanoparticles were characterized by scanning electronic microscopy (SEM), transmission electronic
microscopy (TEM) and laser particle size analyzer. The images indicate that the size of Fe3O4 particles is about 10 nanometers, and the particles are completely covered by PPY. The Fe3O4/PPY core-shell magnetic composite nanoparticles are about 100 nanometers and there are several Fe3O4 particles in one composite nanoparticle. The yield of the composite nanoparticles was about 50%. The sedimentation behavior
of Fe3O4/PPY core-shell magnetic nanoparticles in electrolyte and soluble polymer solutions was characterized. The experimental results
indicate that the sedimentation of particles can be controlled by adjusting electrolyte concentration, solvable polymers and
by applying a foreign field. This result is useful in preparing gradient materials and improving the stability of suspensions. 相似文献
Core–shell structured Fe3O4/SiO2 nanoparticles (NPs) sized 40–50 nm with a narrow size distribution have been synthesized by a mechanical stirring and ultrasonication
assisted St?ber method at the room temperature. It is shown that the combination of the ultrasonication and mechanical stirring
during the preparation process benefits the formation of the well-dispersed NPs. The Fe3O4/SiO2 core–shell microstructure is identified with X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy measurements and such

Cobalt oxide nanoparticles@nitrogen-doped reduced graphene oxide (Co3O4@N-rGO) composite and nitrogen-doped graphene dots (N-GDs) were synthesized by a one-pot simple hydrothermal method. The average sizes of the synthesized bare cobalt oxide nanoparticles (Co3O4 NPs) and Co3O4 NPs in the Co3O4@N-rGO composite were around 22 and 24 nm, respectively with an interlayer distance of 0.21 nm, as calculated using the XRD patterns. The Co3O4@N-rGO electrode exhibits superior capacitive performance with a high capability of about 450 F g?1 at a current density of 1 A g?1 and has excellent cyclic stability, even after 1000 cycles of GCD at a current density of 4 A g?1. The obtained N-GDs exhibited high sensitivity and selectivity towards Fe2+ and Fe3+, the limit of detection was as low as 1.1 and 1.0 μM, respectively, representing high sensitivity to Fe2+ and Fe3+. Besides, the N-GDs was applied for bio-imaging. We found that N-GDs were suitable candidates for differential staining applications in yeast cells with good cell permeability and localization with negligible cytotoxicity. Hence, N-GDs may find dual utility as probes for the detection of cellular pools of metal ions (Fe3+/Fe2+) and also for early detection of opportunistic yeast infections in biological samples. 相似文献
