Magnetic Fe 3 O 4 -12 nanoparticles, an easily separable heterogeneous catalyst, exhibits high catalytic performance in the catalytic transfer hydrogenation (CTH) reaction of biomass-derived furfural (FAL) to furfuryl alcohol (FOL) with 2-propanol (2-PrOH) as the hydrogen source (90.1 % FOL yield at 160 °C for 5 h). Comparing Fe 3 O 4 nanoparticles with different particle sizes found that the smaller the nanoparticles, the larger the BET surface area, pore volume and pore diameter, resulting in more acid-base active sites through BET, SEM, TEM, NH 3 -/CO 2 -TPD and other characterizations. Moreover, a scaled-up CTH experiment of FAL and a stepwise reaction from xylose to FOL verified that the catalytic system has great industrial application prospects. A feasible flowchart of the chemical process from xylose to FOL was designed, which can realize the regeneration of biomass resources (xylose derived from corncob), the reuse and recycling of catalysts and solvents, and minimize the amount of solvents and pollutant emissions.

To elevate the accurate diagnosis of tumors, nanomaterial-based magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast agents are being rapidly developed. In this paper, we report the large-scale synthetic method of Fe3O4 nanoparticles by high-temperature thermal decomposition and their application as time-dependent T1–T2 dual-modal MRI contrast agents in rabbit hepatic tumors. The Fe3O4 nanoparticles are modified with bull serum albumin (BSA), which provides excellent biocompatibility and colloidal stability. These nanoparticles also exhibit a high r1 value of 6.99 mM–1 s–1 and a low r2 value of 24.11 mM–1 s–1 at a clinically relevant magnetic field (3.0 T). In in vivo experiments, after intravenous administration with these nanoparticles, the rapid T2-weighted effect can be acquired within 5 min and the slow T1 contrast enhancement at the tumor site appears at 90 min. The explanation of this phenomenon is possibly due to the different accumulation rates and states of the nanoparticles in different tissues. In normal liver tissue, the nanoparticles can be quickly phagocytosed by a reticuloendothelial system and accumulated in the liver. These accumulated nanoparticles aggregate, improving the T2-weighted effect and reducing the T1-weighted effect. However, because of an enhanced permeation and retention effect, the nanoparticles are delivered into tumor tissue gradually and dispersedly, which takes a longer time to generate the T1-weighted effect at the tumor site. In summary, these Fe3O4 nanoparticles have significant potential to improve the diagnostic accuracy and sensitivity in MRI.

Persulfate (PS)-activated, iron-based heterogeneous catalysts have attracted significant attention as a potential advanced and sustainable water purification system. Herein, a novel Fe3O4impregnated graphene oxide (Fe3O4@GO)-activated persulfate system (Fe3O4@GO+K2S2O8) was synthesized by following a sustainable protocol and was tested on real wastewater containing dye pollutants. In the presence of the PS-activated system, the degradation efficiency of Rhodamine B (RhB) was significantly increased to a level of ≈95% compared with that of Fe3O4(≈25%). The influences of different operational parameters, including solution pH, persulfate dosage, and RhB concentration, were systemically evaluated. This system maintained its catalytic activity and durability with a negligible amount of iron leached during successive recirculation experiments. The degradation intermediates were further identified through reactive oxygen species (ROS) studies, where surface-bound SO4−was found to be dominant radical for RhB degradation. Moreover, the degradation mechanism of RhB in the Fe3O4@GO+K2S2O8system was discussed. Finally, the results indicate that the persulfate-activated Fe3O4@GO catalyst provided an effective pathway for the degradation of dye pollutants in real wastewater treatment.Keywords:persulfate activation;dyes;wastewater treatment;Fe3O4;graphene

Carboxymethyl cellulose-based hydrogel coated Fe 3 O 4 magnetic nanoparticles were prepared using a coprecipitation combining graft copolymerization method, and characterized by various techniques to study their structure-property relationships. The nanocomposite was used as a heterogeneous Fenton-like catalyst for Acid Red 73 degradation. The effects of several key parameters, solution pH, H 2 O 2 concentration, catalyst dosage, and temperature of the reaction medium on the pseudo-first-order kinetics of dye degradation was evaluated. The results showed that the nanocomposite catalyst were highly effective in activating H 2 O 2 to produce reactive radicals for dye degradation, achieving complete decomposition under optimal conditions of 300 min at 25 °C and pH 3.5 with 100 mM H 2 O 2 and 200 mg·L −1 catalyst. The complexing hydrogel-Fe 2+ /Fe 3+ were the key factors that speed up the redox cycling between Fe 2+ and Fe 3+ species, thus accelerate the fast degradation rate of target pollutants. Scavenging experiments and electron paramagnetic resonance analyses revealed that Acid Red 73 was decomposed mainly by the attack of •OH radicals. Besides, reusability of the prepared nanocatalyst was also tested.

In this study, porous sandwich structure Fe 3 O 4 nanoparticles coated by polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxanes and β-cyclodextrin were prepared by surface polymerization and were used as the magnetic solid phase extraction adsorbent for the extraction and determination of carbaryl and carbofuran. The Fe 3 O 4 nanoparticles coated with polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxanes and β-cyclodextrin were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, thermogravimetric analysis, vibrating sample magnetometry, and scanning electron microscopy. After optimizing the extraction conditions, a method that combined magnetic solid phase extraction with high-performance liquid chromatography was developed for the determination of carbaryl and carbofuran in apple. The method exhibited a good linearity in the range of 2–400 μg/kg for carbaryl and carbofuran ( R 2 = 0.9995), respectively. The limits of detection were 0.5 μg/kg of carbaryl and 0.7 μg/kg for carbofuran in apple, respectively. Extraction recoveries ranged from 94.2 to 103.1% with the preconcentration factor of 300 and the relative standard deviations were less than 5.9%. These results indicated that the method combined magnetic solid phase extraction with high-performance liquid chromatography and was promising for the determination of carbaryl and carbofuran at trace amounts.

Abstract The treatment of dyes in wastewater is important to solve environmental problems. Advanced oxidation processes has been proved to be an effective treatment. In this work, a novel nanocomposite catalyst of ZIF-9@Fe 3 O 4 (cobalt-containing zeolitic imidazolate framework-9 coated Fe 3 O 4 nanocomposite) modified reduced graphite oxide (RGO) was prepared for the first time and coded as ZIF-9@CA-Fe 3 O 4 /RGO. Then, ZIF-9@CA-Fe 3 O 4 /RGO was immobilized on a cellulose membrane to obtain a composite membrane, which was used as a composite catalyst for activating peroxymonosulfate to degrade methylene blue (MB). The results demonstrated that the composite membrane could efficiently degrade approximately 96% of MB in 9 min without adjusting the initial pH and maintain good catalytic activity even after seven cycles. Furthermore, the composite membrane can be easily separated from the solution at the end of the reaction. This work indicates that the composite membrane has a broad application prospect in industrial applications. Graphic abstract

Transition-metal carbides, nitrides or carbonitrides (named as MXenes) are a novel type of two-dimensional (2D) materials with the features of traditional 2D materials but more variable chemical compositions. MXenes and related materials have raised more and more research attention and been extensively explored for different applications. In this work, we developed a novel method to synthesize magnetic MXene composites (Ti 3 C 2 -MNPs) for the first time through a one-pot route, which relied on the incorporation of Fe 3 O 4 nanoparticles into Ti 3 C 2 nanosheets via thermal treatment. The potential utilization of these Ti 3 C 2 -MNPs for catalytic degradation of organic dyes through advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) were also evaluated in details. We demonstrated that Fe 3 O 4 nanoparticles with size about 5 nm could be anchored onto Ti 3 C 2 with well dispersed state. The catalytic degradation results demonstrated that Ti 3 C 2 -MNPs possess extremely high degradation efficiency towards different organic dyes under optimal conditions. The electron spin resonance (ESR) spectra identified that both hydroperoxyl radicals (•OH) and superoxide radicals (•O 2 - ) radicals were involved in the degradation process. This work reported a novel one-step method for fabrication MXenes based multifunctional composites, which show extremely high efficiency for AOPs. This method could also be extended for fabrication of many other multifunctional composites for various applications.

Hierarchical layered structures, whether in a compact form like nacre or a porous manner like bone, are well known for their combined features of high stiffness, strength, and lightweight, inspiring many man-made materials and structures for high performance applications. The use of nacre/bone like hierarchical structures in polymer nanocomposites can achieve excellent mechanical and functional properties with high filler volume fractions after carefully aligning functional nanofillers, although the fabrication and processing remain a great challenge. In this work, a bio-inspired lightweight nano-cellular epoxy/graphene-Fe 3 O 4 nanocomposite with high nanofiller loading of 75 wt.% was successfully fabricated by combining features from both nacre and bone structures, via a simple compression molding process together with an eco-friendly supercritical CO 2 foaming process to achieve robust mechanical strength and excellent electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding effectiveness (SE) simultaneously. Highly aligned graphene-Fe 3 O 4 nanoplatelets with well controlled nanoscale porous structures (52.6 nm) enabled both low density (1.26 g/cm 3 ) and high specific EMI SE >5200 dB/cm 2 /g, as well as preserved tensile strength of 67 MPa. This study provides a sustainable route to fabricate nature mimicked structures with high performance and high flexibility for a wide range of applications, from portable electronics to healthcare devices.

Wide-light absorption performance and efficient carrier separation ability are the necessary conditions for excellent photocatalytic materials. In this research, g-C 3 N 4 QDs (CN QDs) and Au nano-particles (NPs) co-modified CeO 2 /Fe 3 O 4 micro-flowers (MFs) photocatalyst (CACeF) has been prepared. CO 2 photoreduction experiments showed that the composite had obviously enhanced photoreduction activity and photocatalytic stability. The yields of CO and CH 4 over it as catalyst in 4 h is about 5 and 8 times greater than that of pure CeO 2 . Photoelectrochemical tests showed that the heterojunction between CN QDs and Au NPs can greatly improve the carrier separation ability and the light-utilization efficiency of photocatalysts. Besides, the excellent electronic transmission performance of Au NPs provided a specific channel for the electron transmission, and the strong local surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) of Au NPs resulted in a lot of hot-electrons can directly take part in the CO 2 photoreduction. The synergistic effect between CN QDs and Au NPs can further enhance the photocatalytic activity of the photocatalyst. Fe 3 O 4 QDs can ensure the effective recovery and reuse of the composite without affecting the photocatalytic performance of composite. Finally, a potential photoreduction mechanism of CN QDs and Au NPs co-modified CeO 2 /Fe 3 O 4 MFs photocatalyst were discussed in total.

In this work, a new Fe 3 O 4 /graphene oxide (GO)/pristine graphene (PG) ternary composite (Fe 3 O 4 /GO/PG) was successfully synthesized. The structure of Fe 3 O 4 /GO/PG was characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The TEM result shows that the small PG sheets are attached to the larger GO sheets and the Fe 3 O 4 nanoparticles are anchored on the surface of GO/PG composite. A sensor based on this Fe 3 O 4 /GO/PG has been fabricated successfully to detect dopamine (DA) and hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ). The linear detection ranges for DA and H 2 O 2 are 0.30–30 μM and 0.50–277 μM, respectively, with detection limits of 0.18 and 0.09 μM.

In this work, Fe 2 SiO 4 /SiO 2 coated Fe-Si soft magnetic composites (SMCs) have been prepared successfully via ball milling Fe-6.5wt%Si/Fe 3 O 4 composite particles combined with subsequent spark plasma sintering (SPS) process. The formation mechanism of Fe 2 SiO 4 /SiO 2 insulating layer and effect of Fe 3 O 4 coating content on the microstructure and properties for the Fe-Si SMCs were investigated in detail. It is interesting that high temperature SPS process would lead to the occurrence of redox reactions between Fe 3 O 4 and Si from Fe-Si alloy cores, and resulted in the transformation from Fe 3 O 4 coating layer to Fe 2 SiO 4 /SiO 2 insulating layer. As a consequence, the novel Fe-Si SMCs exhibited superior performances including high saturation magnetization (190.4 emu/g) and low core loss (9.02 mW/cm 3 at 10 kHz) decreased by 89.1% compared to that of the uncoated Fe-Si SMCs (83.08 mW/cm 3 at 10 kHz). The results indicated that the method of preparing insulating layer by the redox reactions is a simple and effective way to synthesize new SMCs with high performance for electro-magnetic energy conversion equipments.

A facile and energy-efficient synthesis of Fe 3 O 4 @SiO 2 -PHEMA complex and its application as adsorbent for removal of Cu 2+ from aqueous solution were investigated. Fe 3 O 4 @SiO 2 -PHEMA was synthesized by mixing Fe 3 O 4 @SiO 2 and HEMA monomer and then initiating the polymerization of HEMA monomer by H 2 O 2 under Fe 2+ catalyzing at room temperature . As adsorbent, the maximum sorption capacity of Fe 3 O 4 @SiO 2 -PHEMA for Cu 2+ was calculated to be 20.7 mg/g at pH 6.0. And the efficient enrichment of Cu 2+ on Fe 3 O 4 @SiO 2 -PHEMA depended on its multiple carbonyl groups and the electrostatic interaction between carboxyl groups and Cu 2+ . The carboxyl groups were from slow hydrolysis of partial ester bonds of PHEMA under acidic conditions. The possible hydrolysis process of ester bonds was facilitated to avoid sorption capacity of Cu 2+ decreasing caused by other ions sorption (like Fe 2+ ) during the synthesis of the adsorbent. The adsorption of Cu 2+ on Fe 3 O 4 @SiO 2 -PHEMA coincided with Langmuir model. The Fe 3 O 4 @SiO 2 -PHEMA had good dispersity in water and it could be easily collected from wastewaters by a magnet. The results showed that Fe 3 O 4 @SiO 2 -PHEMA was a promising adsorbent in wastewater treatment.
