SiO2 coated γ-Fe2O3 nanocomposite powder has been successfully synthesized by chemical vapor condensation process and its feasibility on hyperthermic application was investigated in this study. The power loss of SiO2 coated γ-Fe2O3 nanocomposite powder which means the magnetic heating effect under alternative magnetic field was much higher than the single phase γ-Fe2O3 nano powder due to the ve...

Superparamagnetic nanoparticles are promising objects for data storage or medical applications. In the smallest--and more attractive--systems, the properties are governed by the magnetic anisotropy. Here we report a molecule-based synthetic strategy to enhance this anisotropy in sub-10-nm nanoparticles. It consists of the fabrication of composite materials where anisotropic molecular complexes ...

Although there is extensive literature covering the biomedical applications of superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs), the phase of the iron oxide core used is not often taken into account when cell labelling and tracking studies for regenerative medicine are considered. Here, we use a co-precipitation reaction to synthesise particles of both magnetite- (Fe3O4) and maghemite- (γ-Fe...

It has been shown that CyMe4-BTPhen-functionalized silica-coated maghemite (γ-Fe2O3) magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) are capable of quantitative separation of Am(III) from Eu(III) from HNO3 solutions. These MNPs also show a small but significant selectivity for Am(III) over Cm(III) with a separation factor of around 2 in 4 M HNO3. The water molecule in the cavity of the BTPhen may also play an im...

Recently, magnetic nanoparticles of iron oxide (Fe3O4, c-Fe2O3) have shown an increasing number of applications in the field of biomedicine, but some questions have been raised about the potential impact of these nanoparticles on the environment and human health. In this work, the three types of magnetic nanoparticles (DMSAFe2O3, APTS-Fe2O3, and GLU-Fe2O3) with the same crystal structure, magne...

We report an rGO/Fe2O3/SnO2 ternary nanocomposite synthesized via homogeneous precipitation of Fe2O3 nanoparticles onto graphene oxide (GO) followed by reduction of GO with SnCl2. The reduction mechanism of GO with SnCl2 and the effects of reduction temperature and time were examined. Accompanying the reduction of GO, particles of SnO2 were deposited on the GO surface. In the graphene nanocompo...

The effect of TiO2 layer applied to the conventional Fe2O3/FTO photoanode to improve the photoelectrochemical performance was assessed from the viewpoint of the microstructure and energy band structure. Regardless of the location of the TiO2 layer in the photoanodes, that is, Fe2O3/TiO2/FTO or TiO2/Fe2O3/FTO, high performance was obtained when α-Fe2O3 and H-TiNT/anatase-TiO2 phases existed in t...

Iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs) are chemically inert materials and have been mainly used for imaging applications and drug deliveries. However, the possibility whether they can be used as therapeutic drugs themselves has not yet been explored. We reported here that Fe2O3 nanoparticles (NPs) can protect hearts from ischemic damage at the animal, tissue and cell level. The cardioprotective activ...

in this work firstly fe2o3 nanoparticles were synthesized via a simple chemical method. properties of the product were examined by x-ray diffraction pattern (xrd), scanning electron microscope (sem) and fourier transform infrared (ft-ir) spectroscopy. vibrating sample magnetometer (vsm) shows nanoparticles exhibit ferromagnetic behavior. to continue some of the 2-naphthol condensed 1,3-oxazinon...
