Nanocomposites are emerging complex nanoscale materials composed of different phases that have received considerable attention as a result of their widespread impact on a myriad of fields. Having said this, it is important to recognize that poor colloidal stabilities in physiological media and non-specific interactions with biology are key limitations prohibiting their successful translation into the development of practical technologies with real impact. Herein, PAA coated Au/Fe3O4 composite magnetic nanoparticles (NPs) with monodispersity and high biostability were engineered for the development of a highly sensitive C-reactive protein (CRP) chemiluminescence immunoassay (CLIA), based on the horseradish peroxidase (HRP)–luminol–H2O2 system. In addition, zwitterionic glycerophosphoryl choline (GPC) was employed as a co-blocking agent to reduce the nonspecific adsorption. This assay reports a limit of detection (LOD) of 2.5 pM with high reproducibility verified clinically and demonstrating improved progress towards translation into clinics.

Photothermal effect was for the first time utilized to capture the energy from infrared light and to promote the photocatalytic oxidation activity of NO by a simply mechanical mixing of traditional photocatalysts and core-shell structured Fe 3 O 4 @SiO 2 . Fe 3 O 4 @SiO 2 absorbed the infrared light, transferred it into thermal energy based on photothermal effect, which then accelerated the NO photocatalytic activity of traditional photocatalysts. This promotion effect led by the addition of Fe 3 O 4 @SiO 2 was confirmed by several classical photocatalysts such as TiO 2 , g-C 3 N 4 , BiOI and CeO 2 . To quantitatively characterize the photothermal effect, thermo images were taken with a thermo imager to obtain the average temperature rise of samples under the illumination of simulated solar light. Specially, P25/Fe 3 O 4 @SiO 2 was studied in depth for illustration of the promotion mechanism. Experimental results showed that with the contribution of SiO 2 shell, the photocorrosion of Fe 3 O 4 didn’t occur during photocatalytic oxidation process and the photothermal effect of Fe 3 O 4 was maintained. The quantity of Fe 3 O 4 @SiO 2 was a vital factor for promotion of photocatalytic activity and the optimum mass ratio of P25 and Fe 3 O 4 @SiO 2 was 3–1. After 120 min of illumination, the temperature of optimum P25/Fe 3 O 4 @SiO 2 rose to 57.4 °C from 25 °C and its NO conversion capability showed an enhancement of 38.9% with the comparison to pure P25. The experimental results confirmed that the rise of temperature was attributed to the photothermal effect and its contribution was the same as the directly heating of photocatalysts. Furthermore, the enhancement of NO conversion capability around 30–40% was observed for the Fe 3 O 4 @SiO 2 mixed anatase TiO 2 , g-C 3 N 4 , ZnO, BiOI and CeO 2 . In sum, we developed a new strategy for utilization of NIR light of solar energy to facilitate the photocatalytic reactions.

In recent years, the fabrication of functional nanostructures with multicomponents for a variety of novel biosensors has received considerable attention due to their synergistic improved sensitivity. Herein, we report a facile approach for the preparation of Fe3O4/nitrogen-doped carbon (Fe3O4/N–C) hybrid nanofibers, and construct a sensing platform for the sensitive colorimetric detection of H2O2 and ascorbic acid (AA). During the synthetic process, a discontinuous layer of polypyrrole (PPy) is first polymerized in situ on the surface of the α-Fe2O3 nanofibers under hydrothermal reaction using α-Fe2O3 nanofibers as both a template and an oxidant. Then the prepared α-Fe2O3/PPy nanofibers are converted into Fe3O4/N–C hybrid nanofibers through pyrolysis with a thermochemical reduction process. The resulting Fe3O4/N–C hybrid nanofibers are used as a novel peroxidase mimic towards the oxidation of 3,3,5,5-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) in the presence of H2O2, with a superior catalytic activity over individual α-Fe2O3 nanofibers, α-Fe2O3/PPy nanofibers, Fe3O4/C nanofibers, and commercial Fe3O4 nanoparticles. Based on the high peroxidase-like activity of Fe3O4/N–C hybrid nanofibers, a sensing platform for the colorimetric detection of AA is developed. A good linear relationship from 0 to 50 μM and a detection limit of 0.04 μM are achieved. This work offers a new method for the preparation of Fe3O4/N–C hybrid nanofibers and presents new potential applications in biosensing, medical diagnostics and environmental monitoring.

In this work, for the first time, neutral red functionalized Fe3O4@SiO2 was prepared, characterized and subsequently used for magnetic solid phase extraction of Hg(II) from environmental water samples followed by inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry determination. TEM images shows uniform decoration of SiO2 on the Fe3O4 surface (with a typical particle size of 220 nm). The FT-IR analysis indicates that neutral red was combined with the SiO2 surface by chemical bonds. Trace levels of Hg(II) can be extracted efficiently and selectively due to the electrostatic and coordinate interactions of Hg(II) and neutral red. Parameters affecting the quantitative recovery of Hg(II) were investigated, and the optimized values were 6.0, 25 mg, 60 min, and 5 mL of 1.0 mol L−1 HNO3 for pH value of the solution, amount of the extractant, equilibration time and volume, concentration of eluent, respectively. Under the optimized conditions, at Hg(II) concentrations as low as 2 ng mL−1, the recovery is >85%, and the enrichment factor is as high as 100. The commonly encountered ions show no interference with the extraction process. The material can be regenerated and reused at least ten times without loss of adsorption capacity (84 mg g−1). In addition, magnetic separation greatly simplifies the extraction procedure and filtration and/or centrifugation processes were avoided. The material was successfully applied for the separation and pre-concentration of low levels of Hg(II) in environmental water samples with satisfactory results.

A new conductive carbon hybrid combining both reduced graphene nanoscrolls and carbon nanotubes (rGNSs-CNTs) is prepared, and used to host Fe3O4 nanoparticles through an in situ synthesis method. As an anode material for LIBs, the obtained Fe3O4@rGNSs-CNTs shows good electrochemical performance. At a current density of 0.1 A g−1, the anode material shows a high reversible capacity of 1232.9 mAh g−1 after 100 cycles. Even at a current density of 1 A g−1, it still achieves a high reversible capacity of 812.3 mAh g−1 after 200 cycles. Comparing with bare Fe3O4 and Fe3O4/rGO composite anode materials without nanoscroll structure, Fe3O4@rGNSs-CNTs shows much better rate capability with a reversible capacity of 605.0 and 500.0 mAh g−1 at 3 and 5 A g−1, respectively. The excellent electrochemical performance of the Fe3O4@rGNSs-CNTs anode material can be ascribed to the hybrid structure of rGNSs-CNTs, and their strong interaction with Fe3O4 nanoparticles, which on one hand provides more pathways for lithium ions and electrons, on the other hand effectively relieves the volume change of Fe3O4 during the charge–discharge process.

High-efficiency and low-cost electrocatalysts for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR), as well as gel electrolytes with high water retention, mechanical adaptability and zinc dendrites inhibition are required for flexible Zn-air batteries. Herein, abundant cellulose extracted from wood was employed to prepare ORR catalysts consisting of single iron atoms and Fe 3 O 4 nanoparticles embedded within nitrogen-doped carbon nanosheets (SA-FeCNS). The optimized SA-FeCNS-800 demonstrated remarkable ORR catalytic activity, showcasing a half-wave potential of 0.85 V vs. RHE and a diffusion-limiting current of 5.54 mA cm −2 at 0.3 V vs. RHE. Its efficacy was further demonstrated in Zn-air battery technology, where it exhibited superior discharging and charging capabilities, allowing for 618 h of continuous operation at 5 mA cm −2 , along with enduring performance at high current densities (10 mA cm −2 and 20 % depth of discharge). Furthermore, a solid-state electrolyte named SLS@PVA-SSE was fabricated utilizing wood’s sodium lignosulfonate-functionalized polyvinyl alcohol hydrogel. This innovation effectively curbed the formation of zinc dendrites and enhanced alkaline resistance, owing to the incorporation of positively charged sulfonate groups. The flexible Zn-air batteries assembled with SA-FeCNS-800 and SLS@PVA-SSE exhibit long cycling life of for 85 h at 2 mA cm −2 and 37 h at 5 mA cm −2 . This study offers a sustainable and effective way to make high-performance catalysts and solid electrolytes for advanced flexible energy materials using renewable biomass.

Phospholipase D (PLD) plays a pivotal role in the biosynthesis of phosphatidylserine (PS), but its practical application is constrained by limitations in stability and reusability. In this study, we successfully fabricated the Fe3O4@SiO2–graphene oxide (GO) nanocomposite by chemical binding of Fe3O4@SiO2and GO. Subsequently, PLD was immobilized onto the nanocomposite via physical adsorption, with the aim of enhancing catalytic stability, reducing mass transfer resistance, and improving reusability. Under optimal conditions, the immobilization efficiency reached 84.4%, with a PLD loading capacity of 111.4 mg/gsupport. The optimal pH for PS production by immobilized PLD shifted from 6.0 to 6.5, while the optimal temperature increased from 45 °C to 50 °C. Notably, the immobilized PLD demonstrated a shorter reaction time and a higher PS yield, achieving a 95.4% yield within 90 min, compared to the free PLD (78.1% yield within 150 min), representing a 1.04-fold improvement in production efficiency. Furthermore, the immobilized PLD exhibited outstanding storage stability and thermal stability, along with remarkable reusability. Even after being reused for 10 cycles, the PS yield still stays as high as 78.3%. These findings strongly suggest that the Fe3O4@SiO2–GO immobilized PLD has the potential for the efficient production of PS.

Background Catechol (CC), a prevalent phenolic compound, is a byproduct in various agricultural, chemical, and industrial processes. CC detection is crucial for safeguarding water quality and plays a pivotal role in enhancing the overall quality of life of individuals. Electrochemical biosensors exhibit rapid responses, have small sizes, and can be used for real-time monitoring. Therefore, the development of a fast and sensitive electrochemical biosensor for CC detection is crucial. Result In this study, a laccase-based electrochemical biosensor for detection of CC is successfully developed using Fe 3 O 4 nanoparticles as medium and optimized by applying a magnetic field. This research proposes a unique strategy for biosensor enhancement by actively controlling the distribution of magnetic materials on the electrode surface through the application of a magnetic field, resulting in a visibly alternating stripe pattern. This approach effectively disperses magnetic particles, preventing their aggregation and reducing the boundary layer thickness, enhancing the electrochemical response of the biosensor. After fabrication condition optimization, CC is successfully detected using this biosensor. The fabricated sensor exhibits excellent performance with a wide linear detection range of 10–1000 μM, a low detection limit of 1.25 μM, and a sensitivity of 7.9 μA/mM. The fabricated sensor exhibits good selectivity and reliable detection in real water samples. In addition, the laccase-based sensor has the potential for the fast and accurate monitoring of CC in olive oil. Significance The magnetic field optimization in this study significantly improved the performance of the electrochemical biosensor for detecting CC in environmental samples. Overall, the sensor developed in this study has the potential for fast and accurate monitoring of CC in environmental samples, highlighting the potential importance of a magnetic field environment in improving the performance of catechol electrochemical biosensors.

The Fenton reaction, an effective advanced oxidation process (AOP) for degrading organic pollutants, requires the addition of H 2 O 2 that is expensive and not environmentally friendly to some extent. It has been reported that piezocatalysis can generate H 2 O 2 under mechanical excitation. Therefore, it is promising to carry out the Fenton catalysis utilizing in situ H 2 O 2 generated by piezocatalysis. However, the current piezocatalysis-assisted Fenton (Piezo-Fenton) reaction was realized by adding piezoelectric nanoparticles and Fe(II) ions to pollutant solutions, which would induce more iron-based chemicals that are not easy to recycle. Herein, Fe 3 O 4 -BaTiO 3 nanocomposites were prepared to demonstrate the feasibility of piezo-Fenton catalysis without the addition of H 2 O 2 or Fe(II) ions. The organic dye degradation efficiency of 98.2% is obtained using Fe 3 O 4 -BaTiO 3 nanocomposites in the acidic solution, one-third and two-thrid greater than that of pure piezocatalysis and that of iron-based Fenton reaction , respectively. Moreover, since the piezocatalysis process is the rate-determining step of the whole piezo-Fenton reaction, all the H 2 O 2 generated can be consumed. Considering that the solid nanocomposites can be magnetically recycled, piezo-Fenton catalysis leaves no additional chemicals in clean water and thus provides an environmentally friendly and low-cost approach for organic dye degradation.

Tetracycline (TC) is a common antibiotic; when untreated TC enters the environment, it will cause a negative impact on the human body through the food chain. In the present study, MnO2/MCM-41@Fe3O4(FeMnMCM) prepared using a hydrothermal and redox method andCamellia oleiferashell-activated carbon (COFAC) prepared through alkali activation were encapsulated using alginate (ALG) and calcium chloride as a cross-linking matrix to give the composite beads COFAC–FeMnMCM–ALG. The resultant COFAC–FeMnMCM–ALG composite beads were then carefully characterized, showing a high immobilization of MnO2/MCM-41@Fe3O4, with porous COFAC as an effective bioadsorbent for enriching the pollutants in the treated samples. These bead catalysts were subsequently applied to the oxidative degradation of TC in a Fenton oxidation system. Several parameters affecting the degradation were investigated, including the H2O2concentration, catalyst dosage, initial TC concentration, and temperature. A very high catalytic activity towards the degradation of TC was demonstrated. The electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) and quenching results showed that ·OH and ·O2−were generated in the system, with ·OH as the main radical species. In addition, the COFAC–FeMnMCM–ALG catalyst exhibited excellent recyclability/reusability. We conclude that the as-prepared COFAC–FeMnMCM–ALG composite beads, which integrate MnO2and Fe3O4with bioadsorbents, provide a new idea for the design of catalysts for advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) and have great potential in the Fenton oxidation system to degrade toxic pollutants.

Transferrin (TRF) is the main iron-containing protein in plasma, responsible for carrying iron from digestive absorption and released from the erythrocyte degradation. The plasma TRF levels can be used to diagnose anemia and monitor treatment. Herein, a sandwich type biosensor was developed for the sensitive and efficient TRF detection utilizing the affinity of boronic acid and specific recognition of antibody. TRF can be captured by the facilely synthesized phenylboronic acid decorated SiO 2 @Fe 3 O 4 magnetic nanoparticle (PBA-SiO 2 @Fe 3 O 4 ), and then the antibody functionalized Au,Pt,Cu@polydopamine (Ab-Au,Pt,Cu@PDA) with peroxidase-like activity was bond to TRF to form the sandwich conjugate. After the prompt magnetic separation and catalysis with the chromogenic substrates (TMB and H 2 O 2 ), the distinct color development can be observed and measured for the TRF quantification. The proposed method shows satisfied performance with a detection range of 0.128–2000 ng/mL and LOD of 0.051 ng/mL. Moreover, this approach possesses excellent stability and simple operation, without complicated sample pretreatment. Consequently, this biosensor poses a significant potential for the diagnosis and monitoring of abnormal TRF levels-related diseases.

Background Stimuli-responsive polymer materials are a new kind of intelligent materials based on the concept of bionics, which exhibits more significant changes in physicochemical properties upon triggered by tiny environment stimuli, hence providing a good carrier platform for antitumor drug delivery. Results Dual stimuli-responsive Fe 3 O 4 graft poly(acrylic acid)- block -poly(2-methacryloyloxyethyl ferrocenecarboxylate) block copolymers (Fe 3 O 4 - g -PAA- b -PMAEFC) were engineered and synthesized through a two-step sequential reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer polymerization route. The characterization was performed by FTIR, 1 H NMR, SEC , XRD and TGA techniques. The self-assembly behavior in aqueous solution upon triggered by pH, magnetic and redox stimuli was investigated via zeta potentials, vibration sample magnetometer, cyclic voltammetry, fluorescent spectrometry, dynamic light scattering, XPS, TEM and SEM measurements. The experimental results indicated that the Fe 3 O 4 - g -PAA- b -PMAEFC copolymer materials could spontaneously assemble into hybrid magnetic copolymer micromicelles with core–shell structure, and exhibited superparamagnetism, redox and pH stimuli-responsive features. The hybrid copolymer micromicelles were stable and nontoxic, and could entrap hydrophobic anticancer drug, which was in turn swiftly and effectively delivered from the drug-loaded micromicelles at special microenvironments such as acidic pH and high reactive oxygen species. Conclusion This class of stimuli-responsive copolymer materials is expected to find wide applications in medical science and biology, etc., especially in drug delivery system.
