Background & Aims: In spite of frequent produce and use of magnetic nanoparticles in biological fields, there are few studies on their side effects, especially under in-vivo conditions. Method: In this research, the effect of the single-dose intraperitoneal injection of DMSA (dimercaptosuccinic acid) coated magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (Fe3O4) in different doses (50, 100, 200 and 300 mg/kg...

Comparative reactivities of three diaqua(tetraamine)Co(III) complexes towards hydrolysis of 4-nitrophenyl phosphate was undertaken. The results were contrasted with prussian blue promoted hydrolysis of 4-nitrophenyl phosphate. The tetraamineCobalt(III) complexes accelerated the hydrolytic reaction to varying degrees with the following reactivity order. [(tn)2Co(OH2)2] < [(trpn)Co(OH2)2] < [(tme...

Herein, we demonstrate a novel and simple two-step process for preparing LiCoO2 nanocrystals by using a Prussian blue analogue Co3[Co(CN)6]2 as a precursor. The resultant LiCoO2 nanoparticles possess single crystalline nature and good uniformity with an average size of ca. 360 nm. The unique nanostructure of LiCoO2 provides relatively shorter Li(+) diffusion pathways, thus facilitating the fast...

An inkjet printing method is described to fabricate hydrogen peroxide (H(2)O(2)) sensors. Insoluble Prussian blue (PB) nanoparticles were dispersed in aqueous solvent, and were printed on screen printed carbon electrodes with a piezoelectric inkjet printer for H(2)O(2) detection. The electrochemical behavior of the printed sensors was studied by using cyclic voltammetry and chronoamperometry....

Developing efficient photoreversible color switching systems for constructing rewritable paper is of significant practical interest owing to the potential environmental benefits including forest conservation, pollution reduction, and resource sustainability. Here we report that the color change associated with the redox chemistry of nanoparticles of Prussian blue and its analogues could be inte...

We found a method for controlling the elution property of a thin film of water-dispersible Prussian blue (w-PB) nanoparticles using a simple electrochemical treatment. The thin film of the w-PB nanoparticles fabricated by the spin-coating method was unstable in water and eluted easily. However, after electrochemical reduction and oxidation, the film did not elute in water. To clarify the mechan...
