High-fluorescent p-X-ferrites (XFe2O4; XFO; X = Fe, Cr, Mn, Co, or Ni) embedded in n-hematite (Fe2O3) surfaces were successfully fabricated via a facile bio-approach using Shewanella oneidensis MR-1. The results revealed that the X ions with high/low work functions modify the unpaired spin Fe2+-O2- orbitals in the XFe2O4 lattices to become localized paired spin orbitals at the bottom of conduct...

The unique property of phosphate-based glasses and fibres to be completely dissolved in aqueous media is largely dependent on the glass composition. This article focuses on investigating the effect of replacing Na2O with 3 and 5 mol% Fe2O3 on cytocompatibility, thermal and dissolution properties of P2O5-CaO-Na2O-MgO-B2O3 glass system, where P2O5 content was fixed at 45 mol%. The effect of incre...

This study attempted to synthesize onedimensional (1D) coaxial nanotubes of Fe2O3 based on carbon nanotubes (CNT@Fe2O3) via atomic layer deposition (ALD) using ferrocene and oxygen as precursors. Results disclosed that undoped CNTs were suitable for the ALD of Fe2O3 (ALD-Fe2O3) only if they were chemically functionalized, due to their inert surface nature. It was further demonstrated that the e...

Friction Nanolithography (FRNL) is used to fabricate polyaniline nano-wire on a flexible, insulating, and highly transparent substrate. FRNL uses SPM tip to scratch the substrate to form a trench with higher friction force. Polyaniline nano-wire is selectively deposited on the trench. Sub-100 nm polyaniline wire is fabricated based on FRNL.

Stabilizer-free polyaniline nanofiber aqueous colloids were obtained by the direct dispersing of polyaniline nanofiber prepared in the presence of β-cyclodextrin. The polyaniline nanofiber, the diameters of which are between 80 and 100 nm, can be steadily dispersed in near neuter (pH=6.5) aqueous solution for about 60 days without any steric or electrostatic stabilizer. © 2007 Elsevier B.V.

absorptive characteristics of polyaniline synthesized in different solvents were studied. water and mixture of water with other solvents were implemented for polyaniline synthesis. synthesized polyanilines in powder shape is used as an adsorbent to remove toxic hexavalent chromium from aqueous solutions. experiments were conducted in batch mode. removal mechanism involving polyaniline is the co...

The effects of laser irradiation on γ-Fe2O3 4 ± 1 nm diameter maghemite nanocrystals synthesized by co-precipitation and dispersed into an amorphous silica matrix by sol-gel methods have been investigated as function of iron oxide mass fraction. The structural properties of γ-Fe2O3 phase were carefully examined by X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy. It has been shown that γ-...

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...

Polyaniline/ZnO nanocomposite thin films were prepared via an electrochemical synthesis route on ITO coated glass substrates. ZnO nanoparticles were uniformly dispersed in to the polyaniline matrix. Interaction between ZnO nanoparticle and polyaniline has been studied using X-ray diffraction (XRD), UV-Vis absorption spectroscopy, PL spectroscopy, AFM and I-V characteristics. The ammonia gas sen...

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...
