The CYP2C19*2 gene carriers and non-carriers are closely related to the dosage of clopidogrel. To correctly guide the use of clopidogrel and promote individualized therapy, an ultra-sensitive electrochemical biosensor was developed for the detection of CYP2C19*2 gene. The heterogeneous α-Fe 2 O 3 /Fe 3 O 4 nanosheets were prepared via the hydrothermal-calcination process, and the preparation parameters were optimized. The average diameter and thickness of the nanosheets were approximately 150 nm and 53 nm, respectively; and the saturation magnetization was 80.2 emu/g. The α-Fe 2 O 3 /Fe 3 O 4 @Au nanosheets were prepared by sodium borohydride reduction method, and self-assembled to the electrode surface with magnetic field. Ultra-sensitive detection of CYP2C19*2 gene was realized through the recognition ability of strong single base mismatching of peptide nucleic acid and signal amplification effect of magnetic α-Fe 2 O 3 /Fe 3 O 4 @Au nanosheets. Under optimal detection conditions, the current had a good linear correlation with the negative logarithm of CYP2C19*2 gene concentration in the range 1 pM—1 nM, and the detection limit was 0.64 pM (S/N = 3). Meanwhile, the electrochemical signals of target DNA and incomplete complementary DNA were detected. The constructed biosensor exhibited good selectivity, reproducibility, and stability, providing a promising strategy for the detection of other gene mutations by electrochemical biosensors.

A photocatalytic membrane coated with α-Fe 2 O 3 /Fe 3 O 4 nanoparticles has been developed to address the challenges of membrane fouling and organic removal in the treatment of natural surface water. The photocatalytic and filtration properties of the membranes were investigated through a variety of methods. The successful preparation of iron oxide was confirmed by UV–vis diffuse reflectance spectra and X-ray diffractometry, with α-Fe 2 O 3 identified as the primary photocatalytic agent. A commercial ultrafiltration (UF) membrane was employed as a comparison to evaluate the photocatalytic performance and filtration properties of the modified membrane. Results showed that the photocatalytic membrane achieved better removal rates for UV 254 (22.0%) and specific fluorescent organic compounds, such as component 2 (19.38%) and component 3 (16.89%), compared to the control group. Furthermore, both irreversible and reversible fouling resistances of the prepared membranes were significantly lower than that of the control group, with reductions of 39.4% and 50.2%, respectively. The membrane coated with α-Fe 2 O 3 /Fe 3 O 4 nanoparticles exhibited moderate removal of protein-like and terrestrially derived humic-like fluorescent organics while controlling membrane fouling. Although the α-Fe 2 O 3 /Fe 3 O 4 nanoparticles-coated photocatalytic membrane demonstrated good anti-fouling properties, the removals of organic matters were not as effective as anticipated due to the shorter hydraulic retention time. This study provides valuable insights for enhancing pollutant degradation and anti-fouling properties of membranes through the utilization of solar photocatalytic α-Fe 2 O 3 /Fe 3 O 4 surface-modified membranes in the treatment of natural surface water.

Magnetic α-Fe2O3/Fe3O4 heterostructure nanosheets were fabricated via hydrothermal calcination. The activity of penicillin G acylase (PGA), which was covalently immobilized onto silica-decorated heterostructure nanosheets, achieved the highest activity of 387.03 IU/g after 18 h of incubation with 0.1 ml of PGA. In contrast, the activity of free PGA reached the highest level when the temperature was 45°C with a pH of 8.0. However, the activity of free PGA changed more dramatically than immobilized PGA as the relative conditions changed. Moreover, the Michaelis–Menten constant (Km) and reusability of immobilized PGA were also explored. The results showed that free PGA Km and maximum rate (Vmax) were 0.0274 M and 1.167 μl/min, respectively. Km and Vmax values of immobilized PGA were 0.1082 M and 1.294 μl/min, respectively. After 12 cycles of repetitive use, immobilized PGA remained approximately 66% of its initial activity, indicating that the PGA immobilized onto the heterostructure nanosheets showed better stability and reusability than free PGA.

Early-stage colorectal cancer (CRC) is often asymptomatic, leading to late diagnoses and impacting treatment outcomes. Timely detection and diagnosis are crucial, with serum carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) levels playing a key role in CRC diagnosis and prognosis. To enhance precision, a label-free electrochemical nano-biosensor utilizing magnetic self-assembly (MSA) technology was developed for sensitive CEA detection. The biosensor's core was the α-Fe 2 O 3 /Fe 3 O 4 nanorods prepared by the hydrolysis-calcination reduction process. Its unique magnetism was the cornerstone of MSA technology. The biosensor exhibited excellent mechanical strength, ensuring stability during storage at 4 °C for at least one month. The aptamer probe (CEAA) self-assembled on the nanorods' surface via an Au–S bond, creating the magnetic probe (CEAA/α-Fe 2 O 3 /Fe 3 O 4 @Au). Upon capturing CEA, the current response decreased, indicating a “turn-off" nano-biosensor type as observed through differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) monitoring. In this research, the biosensor not only exhibited robust specificity and superior anti-interference ability but also demonstrated successful regeneration. The limit of detection (LOD) was 0.197 pg/mL, the recovery rate for real serum samples was between 94.15 % and 105.08 %, and the relative standard deviation (RSD) ranged from 1.40 % to 2.09 %. This biosensor showed promise in enhancing the accuracy and effectiveness of CRC diagnostic and prognostic protocols, offering a new direction for point-of-care testing.

The Kirsten Rat Sarcoma Viral Oncogene (KRAS) represents one of the most frequently mutated oncogenes in a variety of malignant tumors, including non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), colorectal cancer (CRC), and pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). Therefore, it is regarded as a pivotal tumor marker, and the detection of it holds immense significance in the realm of tumor prevention, diagnosis, and disease monitoring. In this project, an α-Fe 2 O 3 /Fe 3 O 4 @Au-DNA/BSA probe was progressively constructed to capture KRAS, and the binding probe was immobilized onto the surface of magnetic glass carbon electrodes (MGCE) through magnetic self-assembly for detection purposes. The fabrication process was validated by changes observed in cyclic voltammetry (CV) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) data. Differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) was employed to optimize crucial experimental conditions and analyze biosensor performance. This condition optimization resulted in enhanced sensitivity of the biosensor, leading to improved linearity of data obtained. The limit of detection (LOD) achieved was 1.93 pM, with a limit of quantification (LOQ) at 5.84 pM, and a linear range ranging from 10 pM to 1 μM. Additionally, the stability (the current maintaining stability during the initial eight days), reproducibility (RSD = 2.47 %), selectivity, and real sample analysis (recovery rates ranging from 95.26 % to 109.80 %, RSD ≤ 1.22 %) were found to be favorable. These findings suggest promising prospects for practical applications of this biosensor.

There is growing attention in the removal of microplastics (MPs) from aquatic environment because of their toxicity and difficulty in degradation. Magnetic Fe 3 O 4 is a potential material for MP removal, however, for fabrication of high-efficiency Fe 3 O 4 -based adsorbents, the alkaline synthesis conditions and weak affinity toward MPs must to be addressed. In this study, we developed magnetic α-Fe 2 O 3 /Fe 3 O 4 hybrid adsorbents (MFes) with engineered affinity sites via a facile one-pot synthesis method. During the material formation process, melamine acted as both a nitrogen source for creating N-modified polar adsorption sites and an inducer for formation of α-Fe 2 O 3 /Fe 3 O 4 phase interfaces. The α-Fe 2 O 3 /Fe 3 O 4 phase interfaces provided additional active sites, as evidenced by the enhanced microplastic adsorption performance. The MFe-1.6–100 achieved 92.3 % polystyrene removal at low adsorbent dosage 0.2 g L −1 and showed rapid adsorption kinetics within 25 min, which is superior to most reported values. After five cycles, the removal efficiency could still retain 90 %. Additionally, MFe-1.6–100 exhibited remarkable ion-tolerance for Cl - and NO 3 - . These performances suggest its potential applicability for MPs capture in aquatic environments.

The prevention, diagnosis and treatment of cancer have always been the focus of medical research. In this study, a label-free, rapid, simple, sensitive, and specific method for the detection of HPV16 E7 oncoprotein was developed. The electrochemical biosensor platform was constructed by magnetic self-assembly of α-Fe 2 O 3 /Fe 3 O 4 @Au nanocomposites onto the surface of magnetic glass carbon electrode (MGCE), and the nanocomposite was connected to aptamer through Au S bond to construct a probe to capture HPV16 E7. Cyclic voltammetry (CV) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) were applied to verify the performance of the constructed biosensor. The condition optimization and performance analysis were carried out by differential pulse voltammetry (DPV). Under optimal conditions, the biosensor exhibited a strong linearity between current value and the logarithm of HPV16 E7 oncoprotein concentration in the range of 10 pg/mL – 0.1 μg/mL, with a limit of detection (LOD) of 159 fg/mL and a limit of quantification (LOQ) of 530 fg/mL, and it also revealed excellent reproducibility, long-term stability, and anti-interference ability. In a word, the biosensor would contribute to the early diagnosis of oncoprotein HPV16 E7 and had promising application prospects.

A magnetically induced self-assembly DNAzyme electrochemical biosensor based on gold-modified α-Fe2O3/Fe3O4 heterogeneous nanoparticles was successfully fabricated to detect Nickel(II) (Ni2+). The phase composition and magnetic properties of α-Fe2O3/Fe3O4 heterogeneous nanoparticles controllably prepared by the citric acid (CA) sol–gel method were investigated in detail. The α-Fe2O3/Fe3O4 heterogeneous nanoparticles were modified by using trisodium citrate as reducing agent, and the magnetically induced self-assembly α-Fe2O3/Fe3O4–Au nanocomposites were obtained. The designed Ni2+-dependent DNAzyme consisted of the catalytic chain modified with the thiol group (S1-SH) and the substrate chain modified with methylene blue (S2-MB). The MGCE/α-Fe2O3/Fe3O4–Au/S1/BSA/S2 electrochemical sensing platform was constructed and differential pulse voltammetry was applied for electrochemical detection. Under the optimum experimental parameters, the detection range of the biosensor was 100 pM–10 μM (R2 = 0.9978) with the limit of detection of 55 pM. The biosensor had high selectivity, acceptable stability, and reproducibility (RSD = 4.03%).

Hybrids of α-Fe 2 O 3 /Fe 3 O 4 nanoparticles embedded in N doped graphitic carbon polyhedron layered arrays (FeO x /NCLA) were simply constructed by pyrolyzing the composite precursor of NH 2 -MIL-101(Fe) (a metal organic framework, MOF) and glycylglycine. The experimental and calculated results reveal that the obtained catalysts exhibited multiple active components, synergistic heterojunction effect, high BET surface areas and conductivity, and consequently greatly improved intrinsic electrocatalytic activities and kinetics for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER). As the results, the optimized catalyst FeO x /NCLA-1.2 exhibited positive half-wave potential of 0.846 V for ORR and only 218 mV of overpotential (at 10 mA/cm 2 ) for OER in alkaline electrolyte, which is superior than Pt/C (20 %) and RuO 2 , respectively. The Zn-air battery (ZAB) employing the FeO x /NCLA-1.2 as electrocatalyst obtained a peak power density of 104.3 mW·cm −2 , a specific capacity of 840 mAh·g Zn -1 and an energy density of 890 Wh·kg Zn -1 , which is also much higher than that for the noble metal based one. The catalyst is promised to be applied in water electrolysis, fuel cells and metal-air batteries.

A label-free electrochemical DNA detection strategy based on self-assembled α-Fe 2 O 3 /Fe 3 O 4 nanosheets with PNA-DNA hybridization process was developed for ultrasensitive detection of APOE ε4 gene, one of the most robust genetic risks for Alzheimer’s Disease (AD). In this work, magnetic α-Fe 2 O 3 /Fe 3 O 4 heterogeneous nanosheets were prepared by hydrothermal-calcined reduction method and loaded with Au nanoparticles (AuNPs) on their surfaces. The magnetic α-Fe 2 O 3 /Fe 3 O 4 @Au nanocomposites significantly enhanced the electrochemical response as a signal amplification matrix and were able to bind to the magnetic glassy carbon electrode (MGCE) surface by magnetic self-assembly. Moreover, owing to the high specificity and stable binding capacity of PNA with respect to the target DNA, the biosensor not only enabled accurate (the limit of detection was estimated to be 0.147 pM) and rapid detection of the APOE ε4 gene, but also exhibited excellent specificity, stability and regeneration capability. Additional, the satisfactory recoveries were also obtained in real samples of human serum, ranging from 92.83 % to 106.22 % with relative standard deviation (RSD) between 0.25 % and 1.85 %. The results possessed important reference value for exploring the application of DNA biosensor technology in the diagnosis of APOE gene mutation.

A label-free electrochemical aptasensor based on magnetic α-Fe 2 O 3 /Fe 3 O 4 heterogeneous hollow nanorods was developed for the detection of cancer antigen 125 (CA125). Magnetic α-Fe 2 O 3 /Fe 3 O 4 heterogeneous hollow nanorods were successfully prepared by the hydrolysis-calcination method, functionalized with polyethyleneimine (PEI), and modified with HAuCl 4 to form magnetic α-Fe 2 O 3 /Fe 3 O 4 -Au nanocomposites with a layer of 5 nm gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) on the surface. The magnetic α-Fe 2 O 3 /Fe 3 O 4 -Au nanocomposites were used to fix the DNA-aptamer probe to amplify the current signal. The intensity of the current signal was proportional to the concentration of CA125, indicating that the sensor was a turn-on sensor. The linear range of the electrochemical aptasensor was 5–125 U/mL ( R 2 = 0.9975), and the limit of detection (LOD) was 2.99 U/mL. The electrochemical aptasensor exhibited favorable specificity, reproducibility, and stability. The analytical performance of the aptasensor in real serum samples was also investigated.

The raw nano α-Fe 2 O 3 powders consisting of nanorods with 50–100 nm in length and 8–14 nm in width exhibit superparamagnetism. The vacuum annealing of the raw nano α-Fe 2 O 3 at 400 °C for 3 h leads to ferromagnetic-like behaviors at room temperature (RT), due to the appearance of ferrimagnetic Fe 3 O 4 . The α-Fe 2 O 3 /Fe 3 O 4 composite structure has an antiferromagnetic α-Fe 2 O 3 layer and a ferrimagnetic Fe 3 O 4 layer contains a certain amount of Fe 2+ and oxygen vacancies. In addition, nano α-Fe 2 O 3 annealed in H 2 at 300 °C for 3 h completely become Fe 3 O 4 . Some magnetic properties of the α-Fe 2 O 3 /Fe 3 O 4 , such as magnetization, magnetic remanence (Mr), coercivity (Hc) and exchange bias (EB), can be modulated almost reversibly and non-volatilely by applied external RT electric field without loop current. However, for both the raw nano α-Fe 2 O 3 and the Fe 3 O 4 , these magnetic properties cannot be modulated by applied external RT electric field. The electric field control of magnetic properties for the α-Fe 2 O 3 /Fe 3 O 4 should be due to the mechanism of phase transition induced by migration and redistribution of oxygen vacancies within the interface of α-Fe 2 O 3 /Fe 3 O 4 .
