The paper describes the properties of some nanopowders obtained by coprecipitation and used as adsorbent for wastewater treatment. The Fe3O4 and γ-Fe2O3 nanopowders were obtained using iron salts and NaOH as precipitation agents. D-sorbitol was used to prevent the agglomeration between the nanoparticles. The particle size and distribution were detected using a transmission electron microscopy (...

Iron oxide particles such as magnetite (Fe3O4) or its oxidized form maghemite (γ-Fe2O3) are the most commonly employed in biomedical applications. In this study, we synthesized and optimized the preparation of chitosan manganese-ferrite nanoparticles...

Maghemite (γ-Fe2O3) nanoparticles have been synthesized using chemical co-precipitation at a different temperature. Characterizations of the sample were performed by X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), alternating gradient magnetometry (AGM) and thermogravimetryanalysis (TGA). The stability of the maghemite nanoparticles suspension was studied at different pH and ti...

Core-shell nanoparticles attract continuously growing interest due to their numerous applications, which are driven by the possibility of tuning their functionalities by adjusting structural and morphological parameters. However, despite the critical role interdiffused interfaces may have in the properties, these are usually only estimated in indirect ways. Here we directly evidence the existen...

In this study, a novel magnetic nanocomposite (Ba-α-Bi2O3-γ-Fe2O3) was successfully synthesized through a combination of ultrasound and co-precipitation method under mild conditions. The structure of the synthesized nano-composite as a visible light photocatalyst was investigated by the XRD, TEM, HRTEM, UV-vis and FT-IR. The HRTEM confirmed that the nano-magnetic composites are rods with diamet...

The functional hollow biodegradable microcapsules modified with the maghemite γ-Fe2O3 nanoparticles and the hollow spherical CoFe2O4 / SiO2 nanocomposites were synthesized. Mössbauer spectroscopy data reveal that the main part maghemite nanoparticles have evident superparamagnetic behavior which is retained up to room temperature. This allows directing the microcapsules by an external magnetic ...

A facile, high-yield and sustainable method is developed to synthesize iron oxide/C hybrids. Starch is chosen as the carbon source due to its superior gelatinization property and natural abundance, and ferric nitrate is used as the iron salt for the sustainable synthesis. The iron oxide in the final products exists in the γ-Fe2O3 phase. The γ-Fe2O3/C hybrids are used as anode materials for lith...

Recently Fe2O3 NPs (iron oxide nanoparticles) have been extensively used in medical imaging and in industry also. As a result, people are increasingly exposed day by day to those nanoparticles. The adverse effect of Fe2O3 NPs is not so significant at lower doses but at higher doses Fe2O3 NPs causes significant damage to cells. The present study investigates the cell signaling mechanism of Fe2O3...
