Ordered mesoporous carbon/iron oxide composites were prepared by cooperative self-assembly of poly(tbutyl acrylate)-block-polyacrylonitrile (PtBA-b-PAN), which contains both a carbon precursor block and a porogen block, and phenol-functionalized iron oxide nanoparticles (NPs). Because of the selective hydrogen bonding between the phenol-functionalized iron oxide NPs and PAN, the NPs were prefer...

The facile and economical electrochemical and successive ionic layer adsorption and reaction (SILAR) methods have been employed in order to prepare manganese oxide (MnO2) and iron oxide (Fe2O3) thin films, respectively with the fine optimized nanostructures on highly flexible stainless steel sheet. The symmetric and asymmetric flexible-solid-state supercapacitors (FSS-SCs) of nanostructured (na...

Titanium oxide (TiO2) and iron oxide (α-Fe2O3) hematite films have potential applications as photoanodes in electrochemical water splitting. In the present work TiO2 and α-Fe2O3 thin films were prepared by two methods, e.g., sol-gel and High Power Impulse Magnetron Sputtering (HiPIMS) and judged on the basis of physical properties such as crystalline structure and surface topography and functio...

Our study focuses on the structural evolution of MCM-41-supported iron oxide under the reducing environment of catalyst pretreatment and ethylbenzene dehydrogenation reaction. Powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis showed that the iron oxide is well-dispersed on the surface of the support with no detectable diffraction peaks from iron oxide. X-ray absorption near edge structure (XANES) study i...

Precipitations of iron oxides from FeCl3 solutions in the presence of urotropin at 90 oC were monitored using the Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, Mössbauer spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy. Urotropin was used as a generator of OH– ions. The precipitation processes depended on the concentrations of FeCl3 and urotropin and the time of aging. After 1 da...

Zero valent iron (ZVI), the primary reactive material in several permeable reactive barriers, is often oxidized to ferrous or ferric iron, resulting in decreased reactivity with time. Iron reducing bacteria can reconvert the ferric iron to its ferrous form, prolonging the reduction of chlorinated organic contaminants. In this study, the reduction of Fe(II,III) oxide and Fe(III) oxide by a strai...

Iron oxide occurs as a dust in many industries apart from iron-ore mining. It is found in silver polishing, electric welding, and boiler scaling, as well as in the more obvious metal grinding, fettling, and blast furnace working where it may be mixed with varying amounts of silica. Some still consider iron oxide a harmless dust (Baldi, 1952) while others think that, like coal, it can produce ch...

Olfactory tract has been demonstrated to be an important portal for inhaled solid nanoparticle transportation into the central nervous system (CNS). We have previously demonstrated that intranasally instilled Fe2O3 nanoparticles could transport into the CNS via olfactory pathway. In this study, we investigated the neurotoxicity and size effect of repeatedly low-dose (130 lg) intranasal exposure...

conclusions based on our results, the administration of fe3o4-nps causes dose dependent adverse effects on liver. background because of their unique magnetic properties, fe3o4 nanoparticles (fe3o4-nps) have extensive applications in various biomedical aspects. investigation of the possible adverse aspects of these particles has lagged far behind their fast growing application. objectives the cu...
