A novel self-assembly method was developed to prepare a γ-Fe 2 O 3 /graphene oxide (GO) heterogeneous catalyst that showed excellent synergy between photocatalysis and Fenton-like reactions. The γ-Fe 2 O 3 /GO catalyst prepared on the iron plates demonstrated efficient and reproducible catalytic activities for water treatment . It takes only 80 min to degrade 50 mg L −1 methylene (MB) completely, which is the main non-biodegradable dye in wastewater from the textile industry . The heterogeneous catalyst is stable over a wide range of pH (from 2.0 to 10.2) for MB degradation, and can be easily extracted from solution and repeatedly used with little loss of catalytic activity. The high activity and stability of the catalyst system can be attributed to charge separation between γ-Fe 2 O 3 and GO, which could accelerate Fenton-like process and photocatalysis. In addition, the dominant reactive oxidant species responsible for the MB degradation, including the hydroxyl radicals (•OH) and holes (h + ), were trapped on the surface of the γ-Fe 2 O 3 /GO composite, as proved by a free-radical quenching experiment. The γ-Fe 2 O 3 /GO heterogeneous catalyst could potentially provide a solution for removal of non-biodegradable dyes from wastewater in the textile industry.

Nano γ-Fe 2 O 3 modified bentonite magnetic composites (γ-Fe 2 O 3 /Bent) were synthesized via an annealing approach of the ferric oleate and bentonite compounds. The γ-Fe 2 O 3 nanoparticles with narrow size distribution and an average diameter of 32 nm were equably dispersed on the surface and between layers of the bentonite nanosheets , which mainly owed to the complete mixture of ferric oleate and hydrophobic modified bentonite. The γ-Fe 2 O 3 /Bent composites exhibited typical ferromagnetic characteristics with the saturation magnetization of 22.31 emu/g and coercivity of 209 Oe. Adsorption performance measurement indicated that the γ-Fe 2 O 3 /Bent composites are a kind of excellent adsorbent with fast adsorption rate, high adsorption capacity, 99.99% removal rate and easily magnetic separation process for the removal of cationic dye methylene blue (MB). Adsorption kinetics and isotherms were studied to describe the adsorption process , and the electrostatic adsorption mechanism was confirmed by zeta potential measurement.

The rapid expansion of 5 G technology and the proliferation of electronic devices have exacerbated electromagnetic radiation pollution of urban building space and pose significant risks to human health, necessitating the development of efficient electromagnetic wave (EMW) absorbing materials for use in buildings to address this challenge. Carbon nanotubes (CNT) and magnetic materials such as Fe are widely used in this field due to their unique electromagnetic properties. In this study, γ-Fe 2 O 3 /C/CNT magnetic nanofibers were successfully prepared, exhibiting synergistic di-electric and magnetic capabilities through electrospinning and mechanical blending methods. Compared to γ-Fe 2 O 3 /C fibers and CNT, the CNT-modified composite material exhibited superior EMW absorption performance. At a low loading of 15 wt %, the γ-Fe 2 O 3 /C/CNT composite fibers achieved a minimum reflection loss (RL min ) of -78.89 dB (2.61 mm) and an effective absorption bandwidth (EAB) of 4.12 GHz (1.52 mm, 13.6-17.72 GHz). The superior EMW absorbing performance is primarily attributed to the three-dimensional network structure created by the intertwined nanofibers and CNT, through the synergy of two one-dimensional structures, which achieved good impedance matching and multiple loss mechanisms. As high-efficiency absorbing agents, γ-Fe 2 O 3 /C/CNT magnetic nanocomposite fibers have broad application prospects, serving as low-loading polymer coatings and cement-based materials absorbent to absorb radiation from electronic devices within buildings, reducing indoor electromagnetic pollution, and they can also be used in the field of military stealth. This work provides new insights into the development of efficient EMW absorbing materials.

The sluggish kinetics of oxygen reduction reaction at the cathode is one of the obstacles of the next-generation energy conversion system such as fuel cell and Zn-air battery. Here, a simple pyrolysis method was used to transform delignification-treated balsa wood into nitrogen-doped porous layered carbon materials. γ-Fe 2 O 3 nanocrystals were supported on N-doped wood-derived carbon materials. The prepared Fe 2 O 3 -CW 1000 catalyst exhibits superior ORR performance with a high onset potential of 0.98 V RHE in alkaline environment. This is consistent with the potential of commercial Pt/C. The superior ORR activity is attributed to the fact that γ-Fe 2 O 3 nanoparticles promote the activity of Fe-N x sites. And the N-enriched porous carbon matrix facilitates the faster electron movement on the catalyst surface and the full exposure of the active sites.

Biochar loading mixed–phase iron oxide shows great advantages as a promising catalyst owing to its eco–friendliness and low cost. Here, γ–Fe2O3−x@biochar (E/Fe–N–BC) composite was successfully prepared by the sol–gel method combined with low–temperature (280 °C) reduction. The Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) result indicated that γ–Fe2O3−xparticles with the size of approximately 200 nm were well–dispersed on the surface of biochar. The CO derived from biomass pyrolysis is the main reducing component for the generation of Fe (II). The high content of Fe (II) contributed to the excellent catalytic performance of E/Fe–N–BC for quinclorac (QNC) degradation in the presence of peroxymonosulfate (PMS). The removal efficiency of 10 mg/L of QNC was 100% within 30 min using 0.3 g/L γ–Fe2O3−x@biochar catalyst and 0.8 mM PMS. The radical quenching experiments and electron paramagnetic resonance analysis confirmed that •OH and SO4•−were the main radicals during the degradation of QNC. The facile and easily mass–production of γ–Fe2O3−x@biochar with high catalytic activity make it a promising catalyst to activate PMS for the removal of organic pollutants.Keywords:low–temperature reduction;γ–Fe2O3;biochar;peroxymonosulfate;quinclorac

Nanofibrous poly( l -lactic acid) (PLLA) microspheres are extensively studied to be used as cell carriers in the field of tissue engineering because the unique structure can promote cell proliferation and migration. But as injectable scaffold materials, PLLA microspheres easily run off to the soft tissue space because of the lack of cohesive force. It will affect the treatment efficiency and even cause additional inflammatory response. In order to overcome this disadvantage, superparamagnetic γ-Fe 2 O 3 nanoparticles assisted with oxidative polymerization of dopamine were used for surface modification of PLLA microspheres in this study. The results showed that this surface modification had no obvious cytotoxicity, and the modified microspheres possessed the ability to carry seed cells to controllably move to the defect sites with the guidance of magnetic field, which may be able to increase the repair efficiency. Moreover, the characteristic nanofibrous structure was not destroyed after modification, which was able to promote biological activity of cells. This work provides a novel way to produce superparamagnetic nanofibrous microspheres designed for cell microcarriers. © 2018 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

In this paper, the microstructures of the dilute magnetic PDLC films, doped with low concentrations of γ-Fe2O3 nanoparticles, have hardly changed, but their electric-optical responses have distinctly changed. The experimental results show that the threshold voltage and hysteresis decreased with the increasing concentration of γ-Fe2O3 nanoparticles. Furthermore, at the relatively low concentration of γ-Fe2O3 nanoparticles (samples (0) and (1) according to ϕm of 0 and 0.11%), the reciprocity of the rise time increased nonlinearly with the increasing square of the applied voltage. However, at the relatively high concentration of γ-Fe2O3 nanoparticles (samples (2) according to ϕm = 0.15%), the reciprocity of the rise time increased linearly with the square of the applied voltage. Moreover, the reciprocity of the decay time was independent of the applied voltage and decreased with increasing the concentration of γ-Fe2O3 nanoparticles. These characteristics are due to the adsorption of free ions by γ-Fe2O3 nanoparticles. As a result, the interfacial interaction between liquid crystal droplets and the polymer matrix decreased, and the effective electric field inside the liquid crystal droplets increased.

Au/γ-Fe2O3 and Au/α-Fe2O3 catalysts with identical size of Au nanoparticles, chemical state of Au species, and amount of surface OH– group were prepared. The Au/γ-Fe2O3 catalyst exhibited exceptionally high activity, regardless of the heat treatments. The CO-TPR, sequential pulse reaction, and in situ Raman spectra demonstrate that the much higher activity of Au/γ-Fe2O3 originated from its higher redox property at low temperature. Systematic study shows that this higher-redox-property-based higher activity could be extended to γ-Fe2O3-supported Pt-group metals and to other reactions that follow Mars–Van Krevelen mechanism. This finding may provide a new avenue for catalyst improvement or development by choosing the suitable crystal phase of the oxide support.

Composites with hierarchical structures have wide potential applications in the catalyst industry. In this paper, a self-assembled 3D flower-like architecture of the Bi/γ-Fe2O3 composite has been successfully synthesized without employing any surfactants and templates via a facile and economical hydrothermal method. Its formation process has been studied. X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), and Raman spectroscopy techniques were used to monitor the formation process. The results demonstrate that the self-assembled 3D flower-like Bi/γ-Fe2O3 composite consists of a Bi metal nucleus and a γ-Fe2O3 shell. The Bi metal nucleus is identified to be an aggregate of Bi nanoparticles, while the γ-Fe2O3 shell results from the intercrossing of γ-Fe2O3 nanoslices. The time-dependent intermediate products in the self-assembly process were structurally characterized. The influence of concentration and the formation process have been carefully discussed. A possible formation mechanism has been proposed. By virtue of the structural understanding of the novel 3D flower-like Bi/γ-Fe2O3 composite, this work is expected to highlight its potential applications.

High-performance electromagnetic wave (EMW) absorbing materials have been widely used in the wireless communication and electronic devices due to their important potentials in electromagnetic attenuation. However, it is difficult to develop carbon-based absorbers with thin thickness, lightweight, and low filler loading. In this work, rationally designed hollow nanosphere γ -Fe 2 O 3 /MWCNTs composites were successfully realized for ultrathin, lightweight, and high-efficiency EMW absorbers. It showed that the composition, microstructure, and morphology of composites were tailored, which gave rise to the tunable magnetic behavior, porosity, and electromagnetic parameters. The rational design of composition and novel structure contributed to the optimization of the impedance match. The EMW attenuation was enhanced by the synergistic effects of the dielectric loss originated from the interfacial and dipole polarization, conductive loss stemmed from the 3D conductive network, and the magnetic loss derived from the eddy-current loss and ferromagnetic resonance. Accordingly, the hollow nanosphere γ -Fe 2 O 3 /MWCNTs composites with a low filling ratio of 20 wt% achieved an ultrathin matching thickness of 1.4 mm and a strong reflection loss of −63.6 dB. The substantially enhanced EMW absorbing performances were owing to the optimized impedance matching and enhanced attenuation capability. Therefore, this work can provide a paradigm for the design and synthesis of hollow nanosphere γ -Fe 2 O 3 /MWCNTs composites with an enhanced EMW absorption.

Magnetically separable Zn 1− x Cd x S/γ-Fe 2 O 3 ( x =0–1) photocatalysts were synthesized by a one-step combustion method. The structures, morphologies, absorbance, optical and photocatalytic properties of the samples were studied by X-ray powder diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy , ultraviolet–visible spectrophotometry and photoluminescence . The experimental results show that the formation of hexagonal Zn 1− x Cd x S and γ-Fe 2 O 3 and the combination of them were one-pot achieved. The Cd 2+ content has a significant influence on the absorbance of visible light and fluorescence properties. The magnetic properties of samples ensure the magnetic separation by using a magnet. CdS/γ-Fe 2 O 3 shows the best photocatalytic performance compared with other samples, ascribed to its small energy band gap and matching energy band structure between CdS and γ-Fe 2 O 3 . Moreover, no obvious deterioration was observed in the stability tests.

Microbially mediated bioreduction of iron oxyhydroxide plays an important role in the biogeochemical cycle of iron. Geobacter sulfurreducens is a representative dissimilatory iron-reducing bacterium that assembles electrically conductive pili and cytochromes . The impact of supplementation with γ-Fe 2 O 3 nanoparticles (NPs) (0.2 and 0.6 g) on the G. sulfurreducens -mediated reduction of ferrihydrite was investigated. In the overall performance of microbial ferrihydrite reduction mediated by γ-Fe 2 O 3 NPs, stronger reduction was observed in the presence of direct contact with γ-Fe 2 O 3 NPs than with indirect contact. Compared to the production of Fe(II) derived from biotic modification with ferrihydrite alone, increases greater than 1.6- and 1.4-fold in the production of Fe(II) were detected in the biotic modifications in which direct contact with 0.2 g and 0.6 g γ-Fe 2 O 3 NPs, respectively, occurred. X-ray diffraction analysis indicated that magnetite was a unique representative iron mineral in ferrihydrite when active G. sulfurreducens cells were in direct contact with γ-Fe 2 O 3 NPs. Because of the sorption of biogenic Fe(II) onto γ-Fe 2 O 3 NPs instead of ferrihydrite, the addition of γ-Fe 2 O 3 NPs could also contribute to increased duration of ferrihydrite reduction by preventing ferrihydrite surface passivation. Additionally, electron microscopy analysis confirmed that the direct addition of γ-Fe 2 O 3 NPs stimulated the electrically conductive pili and cytochromes to stretch, facilitating long-range electron transfer between the cells and ferrihydrite. The obtained findings provide a more comprehensive understanding of the effects of iron oxide NPs on soil biogeochemistry .
