Prussian blue nanoparticles (PBNPs) have been certified a kind of mimetic enzyme possesses the advantages of stability, high catalytic activity and low prices. Ferritins are natural nanoscale structures with unique three-dimensional structures and biological functions. In this context, we synthesized PBNPs on the surface of the iron oxide core of ferritin taking use of the ferric iron of the core, we also intended to retain the specificity of ferritin for some biological use. Our results show the resulting nanostructures (Prussian blue-ferritin nanoparticles, PB-Ft NPs) got very small size and relatively high catalytic activity , furthermore, PB-Ft NPs successfully combined the intrinsic enzyme mimetic activity of PBNPs and the specificity to tumor cells of ferritin. The peroxidase-like activity and catalase-like activity of PB-Ft NPs were studied. Peroxidase-like activity which fits well the Michaelis-Menten kinetics was found strongly depending on pH, temperature and the concentration of PB-Ft NPs. Then a sensitive method for glucose detection was developed using glucose oxidase (GOx) and PB-Ft NPs. PB-Ft NPs displayed catalase-like activity in PH higher than 5.0, the generated oxygen was measured by the dissolved oxygen electrode.Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) shows PB-Ft NPs possess both specificity and peroxidase-like activity.

Prussian Blue Nanoparticles

Prussian blue nanoparticles (PBN) exhibit selective fluorescence quenching behavior with heavy metal ions; in addition, they possess characteristic oxidant properties both for liquid–liquid and liquid–solid interface catalysis. Here, we propose to study the detection and efficient removal of toxic arsenic(III) species by materializing these dual functions of PBN. A sophisticated PBN-sensitized fluorometric switching system for dosage-dependent detection of As3+ along with PBN-integrated SiO2 platforms as a column adsorbent for biphasic oxidation and elimination of As3+ have been developed. Colloidal PBN were obtained by a facile two-step process involving chemical reduction in the presence of 2-(3,4-epoxycyclohexyl)ethyl trimethoxysilane (EETMSi) and cyclohexanone as reducing agents, while heterogeneous systems were formulated via EETMSi, which triggered in situ growth of PBN inside the three-dimensional framework of silica gel and silica nanoparticles (SiO2). PBN-induced quenching of the emission signal was recorded with an As3+ concentration (0.05–1.6 ppm)-dependent fluorometric titration system, owing to the potential excitation window of PBN (at 480–500 nm), which ultimately restricts the radiative energy transfer. The detection limit for this arrangement is estimated around 0.025 ppm. Furthermore, the mesoporous and macroporous PBN-integrated SiO2 arrangements might act as stationary phase in chromatographic studies to significantly remove As3+. Besides physisorption, significant electron exchange between Fe3+/Fe2+ lattice points and As3+ ions enable complete conversion to less toxic As5+ ions with the repeated influx of mobile phase. PBN-integrated SiO2 matrices were successfully restored after segregating the target ions. This study indicates that PBN and PBN-integrated SiO2 platforms may enable straightforward and low-cost removal of arsenic from contaminated water.

Three-dimensional (3-D) periodic hematite scaffold was successfully fabricated by direct writing method as a catalyst for degradation of organic contaminants. Photo-catalytically active α-Fe2O3 nanoparticles have been synthesized by sol-gel technique. Aqueous slurries of iron oxides were freeform fabricated to produce hematite scaffolds with a 3-D periodic architecture and multiscale porosity. The catalytic activity of the hematite scaffolds was evaluated in the degradation of Methylene Blue (MB). It was found that the degradation rate of MB dye was over 83%. The result strongly indicates that the hematite scaffolds exhibits a high catalytic activity. Moreover, this work provides an important step forward in the creation of suitable structures for photocatalyst.

Transition metal and nitrogen co-doped carbon-based catalysts (TM-N-C) have become the most promising catalysts for Pt/C due to their wide range of sources, low cost, high catalytic activity, excellent stability and strong resistance to poisoning, especially Fe–N–C metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), which are some of the most promising precursors for the preparation of Fe–N–C catalysts due to their inherent properties, such as their highly ordered three-dimensional framework structure, controlled porosity, and tuneable chemistry. Based on these, in this paper, different iron sources were added to synthesis a sort of zeolitic imidazole frameworks (ZIF-8). Then the imidazole salt in ZIF-8 was rearranged into high N-doped carbon by high-temperature pyrolysis to prepare the Fe–N–C catalyst. We studied the physical characteristics of the catalysts by different iron sources and their effects on the catalytic properties of the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). From the point of morphology, various iron sources have a positive influence on maintaining the morphology of ZIF-8 polyhedron. Fe–N/C–Fe(NO3)3 has the same anion as zinc nitrate, and can maintain a polyhedral morphology after high-temperature calcination. It had the highest ORR catalytic activity compared to the other four catalyst materials, which proved that there is a certain relationship between morphology and performance. This paper will provide a useful reference and new models for the development of high-performance ORR catalysts without precious metals.
