Mesoporous TiO2/reduced graphene oxide/Ag (TiO2/RGO/Ag) ternary nanocomposite with an effective electron transfer pathway is obtained by an electrostatic self-assembly method and photo-assisted treatment. Compared with bare mesoporous TiO2 (MT) and mesoporous TiO2/RGO (MTG), the ternary mesoporous TiO2/RGO/Ag (MTGA) nanocomposite exhibited superior photocatalytic performance for the degradation...

An Fe3O4-graphene oxide nanocomposite has been synthesized via a chemical reaction with a magnetite particle size of 18-25 nm. The resulting nanocomposite can be easily manipulated by an external magnetic field, exhibits excellent catalytic activity and may be reused for several cycles with marginal loss of activity. This recyclable nanocomposite provides an efficient, economic, novel route for...

In this study, amine functionalized Kit-6 silica mesoporous magnetite nanocomposite (NH2-MMNC) was synthesized by chemical methods and used as an efficient and recoverable adsorbent for removal of Ponceau 4R, as a toxic dye, from aqueous solutions. The synthesized nanocomposites were characterized by XRD, FT-IR, BET and SEM instruments. The effect of various experimental parameters on the dye r...

A magnetic chitosan-polypyrrole-magnetite (Cs-PPy-Fe3O4) nanocomposite is prepared in a simple one-step method via in situ chemical polymerization of pyrrole using anhydrous FeCl3 as an oxidant in the presence of Cs. Magnetic Fe3O4 nanoparticles of size in the range of 10-20 nm are successfully introduced into the Cs-PPy matrix. Adsorption of an anionic dye (acid green 25, AG) from aqueous solu...

Mesoporous carbons with ordered channel structure (COU-1) have been successfully fabricated via a direct carbonization of an organic-organic nanocomposite.

Spherical iron oxide nanocomposite particles composed of magnetite and wustite have been successfully synthesized using a novel method of pulsed laser irradiation in ethyl acetate. Both the size and the composition of nanocomposite particles are controlled by laser irradiation condition. Through tuning the laser fluence, the Fe3O4/FeO phase ratio can be precisely controlled, and the magnetic pr...

A conducting-electroactive polyaniline/magnetite (PAni/Fe304) nanocomposite was synthesized using anilinium dodecylbenzene sulfonate (S1) as a reactive surfactant. First, S1 allowed magnetite dispersion in the aqueous phase and second, S1 performed as the monomer of polyaniline emeraldine base salt. Electron microscopy suggested core-shell morphology based on S1 amphiphilic character; that is, ...
