The immobilization of Thermomyces lanuginosus lipase on polydopamine-functionalized Fe3O4 magnetic nanoparticles (Fe3O4@PDA-TLL) as a nanobiocatalyst was successfully performed for the first time, and the Fe3O4@PDA-TLL was used for regioselective acylation of natural hyperoside with vinyl decanoate. The effects of several crucial factors, such as the reaction solvent, substrate molar ratio, temperature, and immobilized enzyme dosage, were investigated. Under optimum conditions, the reaction rate, 6″-regioselectivity, and maximum substrate conversion were as high as 12.6 mM/h, 100%, and 100%, respectively. An operational stability study demonstrated that the immobilized enzyme could maintain 90.1% of its initial maximum conversion even after reusing it five times. In addition, further investigations on the kinetic parameters, like Vmax, Km, Vmax/Km, and Ea, also revealed that the biocompatible Fe3O4@PDA could act as an alternative carrier for the immobilization of different enzymes.

In this work, we report the enhanced catalytic reduction of 4-nitrophenol driven by Fe3O4-Au magnetic nanocomposite interface engineering. A facile solvothermal method is employed for Fe3O4hollow microspheres and Fe3O4-Au magnetic nanocomposite synthesis via a seed deposition process. Complementary structural, chemical composition and valence state studies validate that the as-obtained samples are formed in a pure magnetite phase. A series of characterizations including conventional scanning/transmission electron microscopy (SEM/TEM), Mössbauer spectroscopy, magnetic testing and elemental mapping is conducted to unveil the structural and physical characteristics of the developed Fe3O4-Au magnetic nanocomposites. By adjusting the quantity of Au seeds coating on the polyethyleneimine-dithiocarbamates (PEI-DTC)-modified surfaces of Fe3O4hollow microspheres, the correlation between the amount of Au seeds and the catalytic ability of Fe3O4-Au magnetic nanocomposites for 4-nitrophenol (4-NP) is investigated systematically. Importantly, bearing remarkable recyclable features, our developed Fe3O4-Au magnetic nanocomposites can be readily separated with a magnet. Such Fe3O4-Au magnetic nanocomposites shine the light on highly efficient catalysts for 4-NP reduction at the mass production level.Keywords:Fe3O4hollow microspheres;Fe3O4-Au magnetic nanocomposites;catalytic reduction;4-nitrophenol

Volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions are a global environmental concern because of their potential health risks. The removal of refractory VOCs calls for advanced technologies with powerful oxidative ability and high mass transfer efficiency. In this study, a yolk-shell Fe 3 O 4 @C/Fenton system was designed to improve octane removal efficiency. The octane removal efficiency at equilibrium was increased by 24.7% relative to that of the Fe 3 O 4 /Fenton system, and the main intermediate or byproduct levels decreased by 89.4%. The yolk-shell Fe 3 O 4 @C displayed higher catalytic and mass transfer efficiencies for octane degradation than Fe 3 O 4 . A synergistic effect of mass transfer enhancement and catalytic oxidation was observed in the yolk-shell Fe 3 O 4 @C/Fenton system. The mechanism of the synergistic effect of mass transfer and octane degradation, a regional reaction theory for the yolk-shell structure, and octane removal pathways were proposed and supported by the octane removal results and byproducts detection and measurement. This yolk-shell Fe 3 O 4 @C/Fenton system provides an effective and advanced way to treat refractory and hydrophobic VOCs, and its preparation can be extended to other high-efficiency core-shell structure catalyst-carbon materials.

Fabrication of easily recyclable photocatalyst with excellent photocatalytic activity for degradation of organic pollutants in wastewater is highly desirable for practical application. In this study, a novel ternary magnetic photocatalyst BiVO 4 /Fe 3 O 4 /reduced graphene oxide (BiVO 4 /Fe 3 O 4 /rGO) was synthesized via a facile hydrothermal strategy. The BiVO 4 /Fe 3 O 4 with 0.5 wt% of rGO (BiVO 4 /Fe 3 O 4 /0.5% rGO) exhibited superior activity, degrading greater than 99% Rhodamine B (RhB) after 120 min solar light radiation. The surface morphology and chemical composition of BiVO 4 /Fe 3 O 4 /rGO were studied by scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, UV visible diffuse reflectance spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and Raman spectroscopy. The free radicals scavenging experiments demonstrated that hole (h + ) and superoxide radical (O 2 •− ) were the dominant species for RhB degradation over BiVO 4 /Fe 3 O 4 /rGO under solar light. The reusability of this composite catalyst was also investigated after five successive runs under an external magnetic field. The BiVO 4 /Fe 3 O 4 /rGO composite was easily separated, and the recycled catalyst retained high photocatalytic activity. This study demonstrates that catalyst BiVO 4 /Fe 3 O 4 /rGO possessed high dye removal efficiency in water treatment with excellent recyclability from water after use. The current study provides a possibility for more practical and sustainable photocatalytic process.

The reliable and cost-effective production of high-performance film electrodes for hydrogen evolution reactions remains a challenge for the laser surface modification community. In this study, prior to a thermal imidization reaction, a small number of Fe3O4nanoparticles were vortexed into a poly(amic acid) (PAA) prepolymer, and the achieved flat composite film was then ablated by a 1064 nm fiber laser. After laser irradiation, the hierarchical architectures of carbon nanosheets decorated with Fe3O4nanoparticles were generated. Although pure polyimide (PI) film and laser carbonized PI film, as well as bare Fe3O4, showcase poor intrinsic catalytic activity toward alkaline hydrogen evolution reactions, our laser-derived Fe3O4/carbon nanosheet hybrid film demonstrated enhanced electrocatalytic activity and stability in 1 M KOH electrolyte; the overpotential(η10) reached 247 mV when the current density was 10 mA cm−2with a slight current decay in the chronoamperometric examination of 12 h. Finally, we proposed that the substitution of N to O in Fe−O sites of trans spinel structured magnetite would be able to modulate the free energy of hydrogen adsorption (ΔGH*) and accelerate water dissociation.Keywords:laser ablation;photothermal agent;hydrogen evolution reaction

The extracellular polymeric substances coating magnetic powders-supported nano zero-valent iron (nZVI@EPS@Fe 3 O 4 ) was synthesized, using reduction and adsorption to treat Sb(V) wastewater. The adsorption performance and mechanism were investigated under aerobic and anaerobic conditions. The adsorption capacity of nZVI@EPS@Fe 3 O 4 (79.56 mg/g at pH = 5) was improved compared to that of the original materials (60.74 mg/g). The spectral analysis shows that both nZVI and EPS@Fe 3 O 4 in nZVI@EPS@Fe 3 O 4 played an important role in reducing Sb(V) to Sb(III) and adsorbing Sb. The reducibility and adsorption capacity of nZVI@EPS@Fe 3 O 4 towards Sb(V) remained strong under aerobic condition (62% Sb(III), 79.56 mg/g), although they were slightly weaker than those under anaerobic condition (74% Sb(III), 91.78 mg/g). nZVI@EPS@Fe 3 O 4 showed good performance in regeneration experiments. nZVI@EPS@Fe 3 O 4 is promising as a cost-effective and highly efficient material for Sb(V)-contaminated water. This study is meaningful in understanding the redox behaviour of nZVI composites in aerobic and anaerobic conditions.

In this work, a novel catalyst of Fe 3 O 4 @SiO 2 @Yb 2 O 3 was prepared and the degradation of thymol in reverse osmosis concentrate using ozonation was explored. The operational parameters, such as ozone dosage (8–48 mg·min − 1 ), initial thymol concentration (20–100 mg·L − 1 ), initial pH value (3–11), and catalyst Fe 3 O 4 @SiO 2 @Yb 2 O 3 dosage (0.2–1.0 g), were studied focusing on the thymol degradation and COD removal. The results indicated that the increase in ozone dosage, initial pH value, and Fe 3 O 4 @SiO 2 @Yb 2 O 3 dosage accelerated the thymol degradation and COD removal, while the increase in initial thymol concentration hampered the effect of ozonation. A pathway of thymol degradation by catalytic ozonation was proposed based on the intermediates detected by gas chromatography-mass spectrometer and ion chromatography . This paper can provide basic data and technical alternative for pollutant removal from reverse osmosis concentrate by ozonation.

Unary and binary M 2+ (M=Mn, Co, Ni, Zn) substituted hollow Fe 3 O 4 were prepared by one-step solvothermal method. The crystallographic structure, morphology, element components and microwave absorbing properties of as-prepared products were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscope (TEM), Energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX) and vector network analyzer (VNA). The unary and binary Co 2+ substitution of hollow Fe 3 O 4 could result in a significant improvement of microwave absorption performance, including the expanding of effective absorption bandwidth, the thinner thickness and the increment of absorbing intensity. The sample of CoFe 2 O 4 could reach an optimal reflection loss of − 28.78 dB at 15.52 GHz under the thickness of 1.5 mm, moreover, the efficient absorption bandwidth (less than −10 dB) is expanded to 5.56 GHz which is most outstanding among these samples. The minimum reflection loss of Co 0.75 Zn 0.25 Fe 2 O 4 could reach − 49.60 dB at 9.88 GHz under the thickness of 2 mm. The as-prepared products could be used as microwave absorber with the advantages of strong absorption, broad bandwidth and thin thickness. The favorable performance could be attributed to the strong magnetic loss, dielectric loss and good impedance matching properties.

Fe3O4 nanoclusters anchored on porous reduced graphene oxide (Fe3O4@rGO) have been synthesized by a one-step hydrothermal route, and then ball milled with LiBH4 to prepare a hydrogen storage composite with a low onset dehydrogenation temperature, and improved dehydrogenation kinetics and rehydrogenation reversibility. The LiBH4–20 wt% Fe3O4@rGO composite begins to release hydrogen at 74 °C, which is 250 °C lower than for ball-milled pure LiBH4. Moreover, the composite can release 3.36 wt% hydrogen at 400 °C within 1000 s, which is 2.52 times as high as that of pure LiBH4. Importantly, it can uptake 5.74 wt% hydrogen at 400 °C under 5 MPa H2, and its hydrogen absorption capacity still reaches 3.73 wt% after 5 de/rehydrogenation cycles. The activation energy (Ea) of the hydrogen desorption of the composite is decreased by 79.78 kJ mol−1 when 20 wt% Fe3O4@rGO is introduced into LiBH4 as a destabilizer and catalyst precursor, showing enhanced thermodynamic properties. It could be claimed that not only the destabilization of Fe3O4, but also the active Li3BO3 species formed in situ, as well as the wrapping effect of the graphene, synergistically improve the hydrogen storage properties of LiBH4. This work provides insight into developing non-noble metals supported on functional graphene as additives to improve the hydrogen storage properties of LiBH4.

Lithium–sulfur (Li–S) batteries have shown great potential as next generation energy storage systems. However, the practical application is limited by the low electronic/ionic conductivity of sulfur, polysulfide dissolution and sluggish conversion. To solve the above-mentioned problems, a well-designed hollow carbon sphere framework with embedded Fe3O4 nanoparticles (S/Fe3O4-NC) is reported here as an efficient sulfur host for Li–S batteries. In consequence, S/Fe3O4-NC exhibited a high initial discharge capacity of 1264 mA h g−1 at 0.1 A g−1, a decent rate performance of 654 mA h g−1 at 2 A g−1 and a cycling stability of 61.1% capacity retention after 500 cycles, which are much better than those of a bowl-like hemisphere carbon structure without metal salt (S/NC). The decent performances are not only attributed to physical confinement that prevent polysulfide dissolving. Moreover, we prove that the embedded Fe3O4 nanoparticles can effectively function as polysulfide capture center due to the strong dipolar interactions, so that the polysulfide can largely be fixed and confined in the porous carbon layer. In addition, the high conductivity and catalytic activity of Fe3O4 can accelerate the redox conversion of polysulfide, thus facilitating the reaction kinetics. Benefiting from the structural and chemical optimization, a favorable performance was obtained with a capacity decay of each cycle being only 0.08% for over 500 cycles at 1 A g−1, showing great potential for practical applications.

Fe 3 O 4 @ionic liquids β-cyclodextrin polymer(Fe 3 O 4 @mono-6-deoxy-6-(1-ethyl-imidazolium)-β-cyclodextrin iodide polymer, Fe 3 O 4 @ILs-β-CDCP) was prepared. Magnetic solid phase extraction coupled with high-performance liquid chromatography for the separation/analysis of congo red (CR) in water and drysaltery was established. Fe 3 O 4 @ILs-β-CDCP showed a higher adsorption capacity toward CR. CR was adsorbed rapidly by Fe 3 O 4 @ILs-β-CDCP (adsorption efficiency: 95%) and eluted by ethanol (elution efficiency: 96%) at room temperature. Under the optimal conditions, preconcentration factor of the proposed method was 20-fold. The linear range, correlation coefficient ( R
2 ), detection limit (DL) and relative standard deviation were found to be 0.005–100.00 µg mL −1 , 0.9910, 1.8 g L −1 and 0.61% ( n = 3, c = 5.00 µg mL −1 ), respectively. The adsorption mechanism of CR on Fe 3 O 4 @ILs-β-CDCP was studied through the FTIR analysis. The accuracy of the developed method was confirmed by spiking city water, lake water, pond water and drysaltery. Fe 3 O 4 @ILs-β-CDCP can be used repeatedly for 10 times. This proposed method had been successfully applied to the determination of CR in real samples.

Traditional surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) technology often struggles to achieve high-precision discrimination in the simultaneous detection of multiple exogenous hormones due to complex spectral overlap and matrix interference, limiting its application in trace analyte analysis within complex matrices (e.g., biological samples). This study developed a SERS substrate based on carboxyl-terminal polyethylene glycol (PEG)-modified iron oxide (Fe 3 O 4 ) nanoparticles (Fe 3 O 4 @PEG), integrated with artificial intelligence (AI)-driven high-throughput spectral analysis algorithms. This approach successfully enabled ultrasensitive detection and precise discrimination of multiple typical exogenous hormonal drugs, including tamoxifen, drospirenone, cyproterone acetate, medroxyprogesterone acetate, estradiol ester derivatives, and dydrogesterone. By optimizing the surface enhancement effect of Fe 3 O 4 @PEG nanocomposites and employing machine learning models (e.g., convolutional neural networks, CNN) for collaborative analysis, the weak Raman fingerprint features of target hormones in complex mixtures were effectively extracted and classified, achieving a detection limit at the corresponding to 10 −7 –10 −8 mg/mL level. In matrix-spiked serum and urine samples, which mimic complex biological matrices validations, the AI-SERS platform demonstrated exceptional performance in the identification and quantitative analysis of target exogenous hormones. This research provides an intelligent analytical strategy for rapid and highly sensitive detection of multiple trace exogenous hormones in complex matrices.
