This study investigated the applicability of magnetite Fe3O4 nanoparticles coated with chitosan (CMNs) for the removal of some toxic heavy metals from simulated wastewater. Magnetic nanomaterials were synthesized using the co-precipitation method and characterized by transmission electron microscope, scanning electron microscope, X-ray diffraction, and Fourier transformer infrared spectroscopy. The magnetic properties of the prepared magnetic nanoparticles were determined by a vibrating-sample magnetometer. Batch experiments were carried out to determine the adsorption kinetics of Cr(VI) and Cd(II) by magnetic nanoparticles. It is noteworthy that CMNs show a highly efficient adsorption capacity for low concentration Cr(VI) and Cd(II) ions solution, which can reach 98% within 10 min.

ABSTRACTWe report a simple synthesis technique to attached poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) on magnetic nanoparticles. Fe3O4 magnetic nanoparticles were prepared using co-precipitation method. Nearly monodisperse nanoparticles were separated by terminating surface of Fe3O4 with dopamine followed by careful centrifugation and decantation. NHS/EDC coupling chemistry was employed to attached the carboxylic acid terminated poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) to amine end of dopamine on surface of the magnetic particles. Analysis of the polymer brush layers was conducted using UV-Vis spectroscopy, ATR−FTIR, and Transmission electron microscopy techniques. The magnetic property was investigated using direct current superconducting quantum interference device (DC-SQUID) method.

Surface β-cyclodextrin polymer coated Fe3O4 magnetic nanoparticles (NPs) were prepared by anchoring pyromellitic dianhydride derivate-b-cyclodextrin polymer (b-CD-P) onto the surface of Fe3O4 magnetic NPs, which is generated in situ through a co-precipitation method. The transmission electron microscopy (TEM) result indicates that Fe3O4@β-CD-P NPs have an effective average size of 15 ± 2 nm. The surface coated layer β-CD-P was confirmed by Fourier-Transformed Infrared Spectroscopy, and the amount of which was determined to be 138.2 mg g-1 by thermogravimetric analysis. To explore the potential application of such nanocomposites for organic pollutants adsorption, malachite green (MG), a typical cancer-causing water pollutant was evaluated by spectrophotometric method. It was finally learnt that, the adsorption rate of MG by Fe3O4@β-CD-P NPs follows pseudo-second-order kinetics with adsorption isotherm fitted by the Langmuir isotherm model well. The maximum adsorption capacity was measured to be 88.49 mg g-1 at 25 °C. Additionally, a good recyclability of the Fe3O4@β-CD-P was observed over four usage cycles, with slight decrease of adsorption capability.

Single crystalline nano-sized multiferroic BiFeO3 (BFO) powders were synthesized through simple chemical co-precipitation method using polyethylene glycol (PEG) as capping agent. We obtained pure phase BiFeO3 powder by controlling pHand calcination temperature. From X-ray diffraction studies the nanoparticles were unambiguously identified to have a rhombohedrally distorted perovskite structure belonging to the space group of R3c. No secondary phases were detected. It indicates single phase structure. EDX spectra indicated the appearance of three elements Bi, Fe, O in 1:1:3. From the UV-Vis diffuse reflectance spectrum, the absorption cut-off wavelength of the BFO sample is around 558nm corresponding to the energy band gap of 2.2 eV. The size (60-70 nm) and morphology of the nanoparticles have been analyzed using transmission electron microscopy (TEM).   Linear M−H behaviour and slight hysteresis at lower magnetic field is observed for BiFeO3 nanoparticles from Vibrating sample magnetometer studies. It indicates weak ferromagnetic behaviour at room temperature. From dielectric studies, the conductivity value is calculated from the relation s = L/RbA Sm-1 and it is around 7.2 x 10-9 S/m.

ABSTRACTThe microstructure of Ni-Mg-Al mixed oxides obtained by thermal decomposition of hydrotalcite-like compounds synthesized by a co-precipitation method has been studied by using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and atomic resolution transmission electron microscopy (TEM). XRD patterns revealed the formation of NixMg1-xO (x=0÷1), α-Al2O3 and traces of MgAl2O4 and NiAl2O4 phases. The peaks profile analysis indicated a small grain size, microdeformations and partial overlapping of peaks due to phases with different, but similar interplanar spacings. The microdeformations point out the presence of dislocations and the peaks shift associated with the presence of excess vacancies. The use of atomic resolution TEM made it possible to identify the phases, directly observe dislocations and demonstrate the vacancies excess. Atomic resolution TEM is achieved by applying an Exit Wave Reconstruction procedure with 40 low dose images taken at different defocus. The current results suggest that vacancies of metals are predominant in MgO (NiO) crystals and that vacancies of Oxygen are predominant in Al2O3 crystals.

AbstractNanoparticles (NPs) are recognized as an attractive vehicles for cancer treatment due to their targeted drug release. Gastric cancer is an important killer disease, and its therapy methods still need improvement. The NPs were prepared using a precipitation method, and were evaluated using transmission electron microscopy (TEM). MTT and Transwell assays were used to determine cell viability and apoptosis.In vivoexperiments were performed to validate the effects of NPs on tumor growth. Methioninase (METase)/5-Fu co-encaspulated NPs showed highest ζ size and lowest ζ potential than other NPs. The migration and tumorsphere formation ability of CD44(+) was stronger than CD44(−). The effects of METase/5-Fu co-encaspulated NPs on inhibition cell growth was stronger than that of 5-Fu encaspulated NPs, while HA coated NPs showed significant target ability than that NPs without HA. METase supplementation promoted the inhibition effect of 5-Fu on thymidylate synthetase (TS), as well as cell apoptosis. Thein vivoexperiments demonstrated that HA coated NPs significantly inhibited tumor growth. It was concluded that HA-coated NPs enhance the target ability, while METase/5-Fu co-encaspulated NPs promote the inhibition effects on tumor growth in gastric cancer.

AbstractThe nano aggregates of cobalt oxide (Co3O4) are synthesized successfully by adopting simple a co precipitation approach. The product obtained was further subjected to the calcination process that not only changed it morphology but also reduces the size of individual particles of aggregates. The prepared nano aggregates are subjected to different characterization techniques such as electron microscopies (scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy) and X-ray diffraction and results obtained by these instruments are analyzed by different software. The characterization results show that, although the arrangement of particles is compact, several intrinsic spaces and small holes/ pores can also be seen in any aggregate of the product. The as synthesized product is further tested for catalytic properties in thermal decomposition of ammonium perchlorate and proved to be an efficient catalyst.

The structural features leading to the intense quenching free luminescence exhibited by europium oxalate nanocrystals, poly[[hexaaquatri-μ2-oxalato-dieuropium] 4.34-hydrate], {[Eu2(C2O4)3(H2O)6]·4.34H2O} n , is the focal point of this report. Europium oxalate nanocrystals were synthesized by a simple microwave-assisted co-precipitation method. Powder X-ray diffraction analysis revealed the monoclinic structure of the nanocrystals and the phase purity. The morphology and particle size were examined by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analysis. Luminescence measurements on a series of samples of La2–x Eu x (C2O4)3·10H2O, with x varying in the range 0.1 to 2, established the quenching free nature exhibited by the europium oxalate nanocrystals. A single-crystal structure analysis was carried out and the quenching free luminescence is explained on the basis of the crystal structure. A detailed photoluminescence characterization was carried out using excitation and emission studies, decay analysis, and CIE coordinate and colour purity evaluation. The various spectroscopic parameters were evaluated by Judd–Ofelt theoretical analysis and the results are discussed on the basis of the crystal structure analysis.
