Core-shell nanoparticles Gd2O3:Tb3+/SiOx were obtained by encapsulating Gd2O3:Tb3+ in a polysiloxane shell. We studied the influence of two kinds of reagents (NaOH and Bu4NOH) reacting with precursor solution on size and luminescent property of nanoparticles. The result showed that the reaction involving NaOH was more favorable to the growth of nanoparticles, thus enhanced the energy transfer between the core and the shell of particles and improved their luminescent intensities.

In this paper, Ag@SiO2 core-shell nanoparticles (NPs) with different shell thicknesses were prepared experimentally and introduced into the photosensitive layer of mesoscopic hole-conductor-free perovskite solar cells (PSCs) based on carbon counter electrodes. By combining simulation and experiments, the influences of different shell thickness Ag@SiO2 core-shell nanoparticles on the photoelectric properties of the PSCs were studied. The results show that, when the shell thickness of 0.1 wt% Ag@SiO2 core-shell nanoparticles is 5 nm, power conversion efficiency is improved from 13.13% to 15.25%, achieving a 16% enhancement. Through the measurement of the relevant parameters of the obtained perovskite film, we found that this gain not only comes from the increase in current density that scholars generally think, but also comes from the improvement of the film quality. Like current gain, this gain is related to the different shell thickness of Ag@SiO2 core-shell nanoparticles. Our research provides a new direction for studying the influence mechanism of Ag@SiO2 core-shell nanoparticles in perovskite solar cells.

Fe 3 O 4– SiO 2 core–shell structure nanoparticles containing magnetic properties were investigated for their potential use in drug delivery. The Fe 3 O 4– SiO 2 core–shell structure nanoparticles were successfully synthesized by a simple and convenient way. The Fe 3 O 4– SiO 2 nanoparticles showed superparamagnetic behavior, indicating a great application potential in separation technologies. From the application point of view, the prepared nanoparticles were found to act as an efficient drug carrier. Specifically, the surface of the core–shell nanoparticles was modified with amino groups by use of silane coupling agent 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTS). Doxorubicin (DOX) was successfully grafted to the surface of the core–shell nanoparticles after the decoration with the carboxyl acid groups on the surface of amino-modified core–shell structure nanoparticles. Moreover, the nanocomposite showed a good drug delivery performance in the DOX-loading efficiency and drug release experiments, confirming that the materials had a great application potential in drug delivery. It is envisioned that the prepared materials are the ideal agent for application in medical diagnosis and therapy.
