Superparamagnetic Core/Catalytic Shell Heterostructures In article number 2205665, Cailei Yuan and co-workers design successfully prepare electrochemical-reconstructed NiFe/NiFeOOH core/shell nanoparticles confined in highly conductive amorphous carbon matrix. Benefiting from the unique superparamagnetic NiFe/catalytic NiFeOOH heterostructure, their oxygen evolution reaction performance is impr...

We present the synthesis of dual-responsive (pH and temperature) magnetic core-shell nanoparticles utilizing the grafting-from approach. First, oleic acid stabilized superparamagnetic maghemite (γ-Fe(2)O(3)) nanoparticles (NPs), prepared by thermal decomposition of iron pentacarbonyl, were surface-functionalized with ATRP initiating sites bearing a dopamine anchor group via ligand exchange. Sub...

the aim of this research is to study ni2+ supported on hydroxyapatite-core-shell magnetic γ-fe2o3 nanoparticles (γ-fe2o3@hap-ni2+) as a green and recyclable catalyst for the biginelli reaction under solvent-free conditions. one-pot multi-component condensation of 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds, urea and aldehydes at 80 oc affords the corresponding compounds in high yields and in short reaction times ...

In this work core-shell structure Fe3O4@SiO2@meso-SiO2 microsphere has been successfully prepared. An inorganic magnetic core has been coated with multi-shell structure, dense nonporous silica as an inner layer and mesoporous silica as an outer layer. The dense silica shell can enhance the stability and minimize the negative effect of acidic condi...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS The great potential of using nanodevices as delivery systems to specific targets in living organisms was first explored for medical uses. In plants, the same principles can be applied for a broad range of uses, in particular to tackle infections. Nanoparticles tagged to agrochemicals or other substances could reduce the damage to other plant tissues and the amount of chemica...

In this thesis, a generic method was developed for surface modification of nanoparticles (NP) with silica shell using Stöber method. Nanoparticles synthesized from nonhydrolytic solvents such as various ethers were first surface activated with a silane-based poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG). Because of the amphiphilicity of PEG moiety, these nanoparticles could be easily transferred from hydrophobic...

In this research controlled coating of magnetite (Fe3O4) nanoparticles with SiO2 was investigated. The Fe3O4 nanoparticles were synthesized via chemical co-precipitation and then coated by silica according to Stober method. Effects of tetra ethyl ortho silicate (TEOS) concentration and ethanol to TEOS on the coating thickness were inves...

In this report, magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles were synthesized via coprecipitation of Fe2+ and Fe3+ with ammonium hydroxide, and the surface of synthesized nanoparticles was organically functionalized by commercially available amine coupling agent namely, 3-aminopropyl trimethoxysilane (APTS) by using well-known sol–gel method. Further reaction of the synthesized Fe3O4@APTS core-shell magne...
