The alternating magnetic field was discovered to be capable of inducing the fibrous aggregation of magnetic nanoparticles. However, this anisotropic aggregation may be unfavorable for practical applications. Here, we reported that the adsorption of BSA (bovine serum albumin) on the surfaces of magnetic nanoparticles can effectively make the fibrous aggregation of γ-Fe2O3 nanoparticles turn into...

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...

Introduction Magnetic oxide nanomaterials, including iron oxide (Fe3O4 and γ-Fe2O3), spinel ferrites (MFe2O4; M=Mn, Zn, Cr, Ni, or Co) and hexagonal ferrite (MFe12O19, M=Ba and Sr) are attracting much attention due to their wide application potentials in advanced magnets, electronic devices, information storage, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and drug-delivery technology [1-6]. Hence, the sy...

Fe-based nanoparticles were prepared by laser-driven pyrolysis. The assynthesised powder consists of α-Fe and Fe3O4/γ-Fe2O3 nanoparticles embedded in a pyrolytic carbon matrix. The crystallite size of 1.8 nm for α-Fe was calculated using the Scherrer formula. The as-synthesised nanopowder was superparamagnetic. The maximum of the zero-field cooling curve was observed at 32 K and the distributio...

In this work, we demonstrate a facile successive ionic layer adsorption and reaction process accompanied by hydrothermal method to synthesize CdS nanoparticle-modified α-Fe2O3/TiO2 nanorod array for efficient photoelectrochemical (PEC) water oxidation. By integrating CdS/α-Fe2O3/TiO2 ternary system, light absorption ability of the photoanode can be effectively improved with an obviously broaden...

In this study, hydroxyapatite with the substitution of calcium cations by iron and phosphate silicate groups was synthesized via a mechanochemical method. The as-prepared compounds have general formula Ca10−xFex(PO4)6−x(SiO4)x(OH)2−xOx/2 x = 0–1.5. thermal stability studied ex situ annealing powders in furnace. It has been established that, at 800 °C for ≤ 0.5, partial decomposition substituted...

Two series of Fe2O3/TiO2 samples were prepared via impregnation and photodeposition methods. The effect of preparation method on the properties and performance of Fe2O3/TiO2 for photocatalytic degradation of 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) under UV light irradiation was examined. The Fe2O3/TiO2 nanocomposites prepared by impregnation showed lower activity than the unmodified TiO2, mainly...
