Hydrothermal synthesis of 3D hollow porous Fe3O4 microspheres towards catalytic removal of organic pollutants

چکیده
Three-dimensional hollow porous superparamagnetic Fe3O4 microspheres were synthesized via a facile hydrothermal process. A series of characterizations done with X-ray diffraction, Brunauer-Emmett-Teller method, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and transmission electron microscopy indicated that the production of Fe3O4 microspheres possessed good monodispersity, uniform size distribution, hollow and porous structural characters, and strong superparamagnetic behavior. The obtained Fe3O4 microspheres have a diameter of ca. 300 nm, which is composed of many interconnected nanoparticles with a size of ca. 20 nm. The saturation magnetization is 80.6 emu·g(-1). The as-prepared products had promising applications as novel catalysts to remove organic pollutants (methylene blue) from wastewater in the presence of H2O2 and ultrasound irradiation.

Bifunctional Au-loaded Fe3O4@C composite microspheres were controllably synthesized by coating of Au nanoparticles (NPs) on the surface of the poly(diallyldimethylammonium chloride) (PDDA) functionalized Fe3O4@C microspheres. The amount of Au loading can be effectively tuned by altering the feeding amounts of solution Au NPs or further growth. The obtained Au-loaded Fe3O4@C composite microspher...
