A methodology for detection of the Cauliflower Mosaic Virus 35S(CaMV35S) promoter was developed to distinguish transgenic from non-transgenic soybean samples by using photoelectrochemical (PEC) biosensor. In this PEC biosensing system, the as-prepared gold nanoparticles-reduced graphene oxide acted as a nanocarrier to immobilize the thiol-functional probe (probe1), and the SiO 2 @CdTe quantum dots (QDs) core-shell nanoparticles tagged with the amino-functional probe (probe2) acted as signal indicators, respectively. In the presence of target DNA (tDNA) of CaMV35S, the binding of tDNA with probe1 and probe2 through the high specific DNA hybridization led to the fabrication of sandwich structure, and thus the high loading of the signal indicators SiO 2 @CdTe QDs at the electrode surface, which increased the PEC signal. The increased PEC signal depended on the concentration of tDNA, and a wide linear range from 0.1 pM to 0.5 nM with low detection limit of 0.05 pM was obtained. In addition, the PEC biosensor has been successfully used for discriminating transgenic soybean from non-transgenic samples, which was consistent with the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) results, suggesting the proposed PEC biosensor is a feasible tool for the further daily genetically modified organism detection.

An ultrasensitive chemiluminescent biosensor with a high selectivity, based on a bioreceptor surface molecular imprinted polymer (SMIP) that used core–shell Fe3O4@SiO2–multi-walled carbon nanotube nanostructures (Fe3O4@SiO2/MWCNTs) as the backbone material, for bovine hemoglobin (BHb) determination was proposed. The Fe3O4@SiO2/MWCNTs were synthesized with a new method, and then were characterized using SEM, FTIR and XRD techniques. The adsorption ability of Fe3O4@SiO2/MWCNTs–SMIP was evaluated to be 91 mg g−1 following the Langmuir isotherm equation and it demonstrated an excellent recognition and adsorption ability for the imprinted sites located on the surface or near the surface of the Fe3O4@SiO2/MWCNTs. Under optimum conditions of CL, the detection range of BHb was from 5.0 × 10−10 to 7.0 × 10−7 mg mL−1 with a detection limit of 1.5 × 10−10 mg mL−1 (3δ). The proposed biosensor was successfully applied in the determination of BHb in real samples with high selectivity and sensitivity, and the recoveries were excellent and varied from 92% to 106%. Finally, the possible CL mechanism of the BHb in amplifying the CL signal of the luminol–NaOH–H2O2 system was discussed.

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.

The shortcomings of Co-based powder catalysts such as amorphous susceptibility to loss and high influence by pressure drop have become the key factors affecting their catalytic activity. In this paper, two methods were proposed to prepare novel monolithic Co 3 O 4 /SiO 2 catalysts by 3D direct ink writing (DIW) technology: (1) one-step method of printing the active component with supports, (2) two-step method of printing the support first, and then loading the active components. The results showed that the monolithic catalyst prepared by the two-step method possessed more abundant Co 3+ and lattice oxygen (O latt ) species than the one-step method, which jointly promoted the catalytic conversion of toluene. However, the catalyst printed by the one-step method had a stronger interaction between the active component and the support, showing better thermal stability and water resistance. In addition, the SiO 2 support (the calcined product after SiO 2 ink printing) enhances the activity, stability, compression resistance, while the N–SiO 2 support (the calcined product after SiO 2 precursor ink printing) can effectively prevent blockage of the pore structure by the binder and increase physical properties such as pore volume and specific surface area of Co 3 O 4 /SiO 2 catalyst.

A novel magnetic core–shell material polyaniline@SiO 2 @Fe (PANI@SiO 2 @Fe) has been successfully synthesized and investigated as an effective adsorbent for the magnetic solid-phase extraction of typical endocrine disrupting compounds such as bisphenol A, tetrabromobisphenol A, and 4-nonylphenol from water samples. The morphology of the as-prepared PANI@SiO 2 @Fe was characterized by transmission electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction. The main parameters that influenced the enrichment performance such as the kind of eluent, amount of adsorbent, volume of eluent, adsorption time, elution time, ionic strength, pH, concentration of humic acid, and sample volume were investigated. Under the optimal conditions, a good linear relationship was found in the range of 0.05–100 μg/L for bisphenol A, 0.05–300 μg/L for tetrabromobisphenol A, and 0.05–250 μg/L for 4-nonylphenol, respectively. The correlation coefficients are all above 0.995. The limits of detection were in the range of 0.009–0.04 μg/L, and precisions were under 3.73% ( n = 6). The real water analysis indicated that the spiked recoveries were in the range of 92.9–98.9% ( n = 3). All these results indicated that the developed method was an efficient tool for the analysis of bisphenol A, tetrabromobisphenol A, and 4-nonylphenol.

Sustainable nanocomposites with transparent, biodegradable, and enhanced mechanical and barrier properties were prepared by the incorporation of SiO 2 into poly(3-hydroxybutyrate- co -3-hydroxyhexanoate) (PHBH) films and subsequent solvent casting. The crystallinity of composites could be increased by 67% with appropriate contents of SiO 2 , which proved that SiO 2 were effective nucleating agents for PHBH. And it was worth mentioning that the contributions of SiO 2 to the crystallization and thermal stability of composites are proved effectively by Avrami relationship and Horowitz and Metzger method. More importantly, compared with PHBH, it had not only an enhancement about 40% and 60% on the tensile strength and elastic modulus, respectively, but also half the reduction of the moisture and oxygen permeability which were much higher than the values of conventional plastics. The above, in conjunction with the low migration rate measured in food substitutes, illustrated unambiguously that the nanocomposites might be suitable for potential application in food packaging.

Organosilane-functionalized carbon dots (SiCDs) immobilized silica composite nanoparticles (Fe 3 O 4 @SiO 2 @mSiO 2 -SiCDs) with dually emissive properties have been prepared by a modified sol-gel method. Such Fe 3 O 4 @SiO 2 @mSiO 2 -SiCDs nanoparticles solution exhibits blue light emission with a maximum wavelength of 470 nm at lower concentrations, and red-shifts to yellow-green light emission with maximum wavelength of 565 nm at higher concentrations, which is different with traditional carbon dots composite materials displaying strong emission only in the blue-light region. The SiCDs are immobilized in the outer mesoporous silica layer by covalent bonds via proper blending ration, which enables the nanoparticles solution to possess excellent fluorescence stability. The Fe 3 O 4 @SiO 2 @mSiO 2 -SiCDs nanoparticles show good stability, high surface area (483.19 m 2 /g), high saturation magnetization (22.1 emu/g) and low remanence (0.217 emu/g). When the concentration of nanoparticles solution is increased, the distance between the nanoparticles decreases and exhibits the concentration-mediated scattering phenomena, which result in the red-shift of fluorescent peaks. The specific structure of the Fe 3 O 4 @SiO 2 @mSiO 2 -SiCDs nanoparticles and the concentration-mediated scattering phenomena play key roles in the red-shift appearing.

Fipronil is a phenylpyrazole insecticide commonly used in agriculture and residential applications. In this paper, we reported a novel label-free surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) method for detection of fipronil residues in chicken eggs (mostly accumulated on the egg membrane). We fabricated the SERS substrates composed of the SiO 2 @Au core/shell nanoparticles and probed the contamination of fipronil residue on the egg membrane. The identification of the characteristic Raman bands of fipronil was achieved with the aid of density functional theory (DFT) calculation, with which we could analyzed the trace amount of fipronil in a quantitative way. As such, this work may provide a practical solution to quick inspection of fipronil contamination in chicken eggs or other foods.

Nowadays, molten salts are widely used in concentrated solar plants as working media to transfer and store solar energy. However, the relatively poor thermal properties of molten salts have restricted their further application. Nevertheless, the addition of nanoparticles to molten salts excellently improves these thermal properties. In present work, solar salt-based nanofluids were prepared using a lyophilizer. The specific heat of solar salt-based SiO 2 nanofluids was experimentally measured based on the sapphire method, and its heat transfer performance was numerically investigated using the lattice Boltzmann method. Results indicated that an optimum nanoparticle mass fraction that could enhance heat transfer performance existed. This optimum nanoparticle mass fraction, which was found to be 1.0 wt%, improved the heat transfer coefficient and Nu number by 8.58 and 7.29%, respectively. The parameter analysis indicated that the considerably large change in the specific heat dominated the change in heat transfer performance. Meanwhile, the simulation results of the average Nu numbers exhibited good agreement with the Shah-London correlation prediction to within ±3.0%, indicating the feasibility of using this correlation in designing heat exchangers that utilize solar salt-based SiO 2 nanofluids.

SiO 2 -based ceramics are an ideal material for manufacturing radomes due to their thermal stability, high dielectric properties, and simple processing techniques. However, traditional manufacturing methods heavily rely on molds, making it difficult to form complex SiO 2 -based ceramic structures. Digital Light Processing (DLP) technology was applied to fabricate SiO 2 -based ceramics doped with Al 2 O 3 -MgO in this work. The influence of the Al 2 O 3 -MgO content on the SiO 2 -based ceramics was systematically investigated. Increasing Al 2 O 3 -MgO content causes a shrinkage to first decrease then increase, contrasting with the flexural strength's initial increase and subsequent decrease. The main reason is magnesium-aluminum spinel (MgAl 2 O 4 ) generated during the sintering process and thus retards crack propagation, promoting a transition in fracture mode. During the fracture stage, the fracture mode of samples with 10.0 wt% Al 2 O 3 -MgO is mainly transgranular fracture, instead of intergranular. This transition in fracture mode enhanced the flexural strength. Meanwhile, as the Al 2 O 3 -MgO content continues to increase, excessive spinel causes agglomeration within the ceramic microstructure. When the Al 2 O 3 -MgO content reached 10.0 wt%, the shrinkage decreases to a minimum of 3.32 %, and the flexural strength increases to a maximum of 15.94 MPa, making it suitable for manufacturing ceramic radomes. The research results provide a new solution for manufacturing SiO 2 -based ceramic radomes by DLP.

Silica coating can effectively solve the stability issue of lead halide perovskite nanomaterials. However, it is difficult to achieve aqueous SiO2 coating on hydrophobic CsPbBr3 nanocrystals (NCs). In this paper, the hydrolysis process of tetramethoxysilane was controlled to get a homogeneous SiO2 coating or a NC/SiO2 Janus structure. In step 1, the Cs4PbBr6 NCs were silanized using partially hydrolyzed tetramethoxysilane (PH-TMOS). During this process, the Si–OH groups which came from PH-TMOS were absorbed onto the surface of the Cs4PbBr6 NCs with the removal of hydrophobic oleic acid (OA) ligands. In step 2, phase transformation from Cs4PbBr6 to CsPbBr3 occurred owing to the injection of water. Meanwhile, further hydrolysis of TMOS took place and generated cross-linked Si–O–Si. Because the silanization in step 1 created lots of growth sites, the condensation of SiO2 was not limited to the interface between water and hexane. After growing for 12 h, the fully covered CsPbBr3@SiO2 capsules were prepared. The anion exchange reactions of the CsPbBr3@SiO2 capsules were studied. Only one even and symmetric PL peak was apparent during the anion exchange process, which was different from the bare CsPbBr3 NCs. This result demonstrated that the SiO2 shell can act as a buffer layer to block the direct contact of CsPbBr3 with the excess PbBr2 precursor in solution. Compared with the CsPbBr3 NCs, CsPbBr3@SiO2 showed better stability in polar solvent and air. A bright green emission was also observed under UV light after 90 days. The successful preparation of CsPbBr3@SiO2 capsules with enhanced stability paves the way for the further development of lead halide perovskite nanomaterials.
