In this study, a magnetic Fe 3 O 4 /SiO 2 /BiOBr composite photocatalyst was controllably synthesized a PVP-assisted solvothermal method. The Fe 3 O 4 /SiO 2 /BiOBr composites are composed of many three-dimensional (3D) flower-like BiOBr microspheres loaded with many spherical Fe 3 O 4 particles. The formation mechanism and effect of PVP’s concentration on the products were investigated and proposed. Experimental results showed that PVP might act as a potential crystal plane inhibitor in the system as well as the stabilizer on the surface of BiOBr nanoplates. The Fe 3 O 4 /SiO 2 /BiOBr displayed high photocatalytic activity for the degradation of RhB under visible light irradiation, after which it can be easily recovered by applying an external magnetic field. Moreover, the as-prepared photocatalyst exhibited excellent stability and reusability in the cycled experiments.

Fe 3 O 4 @SiO 2 -Chitosan/GO (MSCG) nanocomposite was investigated by various techniques (SEM, TEM, XRD, VSM, FT-IR, XPS) for the removal of tetracycline (TC). Effects of pH, zeta potential and initial contaminant concentration were studied in detail. Four background cations (Na + , K + , Ca 2+ and Mg 2+ ) with a concentration of 0.01 M showed little influence on the TC adsorption at the studied pH range while the divalent heavy metal cation Cu(II) could significantly enhance the adsorption. The results indicated that the highest adsorption capacity of TC were 183.47 mmol/kg and 67.57 mmol/kg on MSCG with and without Cu(II), respectively. According to mechanism investigation for the adsorption of TC by pH impact study and XPS analysis, besides electrostatic interaction and π–π interactions, the Cu(II) also acts as a bridge between TC and MSCG, which significantly improve the adsorption of TC. This study provided valuable guidance and effective method for the removal of TC from aquatic environments.

Exploiting highly efficient and stable photocatalysts for treating Cr(VI)-containing wastewater is of great importance. Herein, a robust core-shell structurally magnetic Fe 3 O 4 @SiO 2 /Bi 2 WO 6−x F 2x photocatalyst was successfully fabricated and used to photocatalytic Cr(VI) reduction, in which an inert protective layer (SiO 2 )-coated micro/nanostructured Fe 3 O 4 particles can not only improve the chemical stability but also retain magnetic advantage of catalyst. The optimized 55% Fe 3 O 4 @SiO 2 /Bi 2 WO 6− x F 2 x exhibited the highest catalytic activity in a reaction system of pH = 3, the apparent rate constant (k app /min −1 ) of 55% Fe 3 O 4 @SiO 2 /Bi 2 WO 6−x F 2x for photocatalytic reduction of Cr(VI), as high as 0.027 min −1 , is approximately 5.4 and 2.6 times higher than that of Bi 2 WO 6 and Fe 3 O 4 @SiO 2 /Bi 2 WO 6 , respectively. After being illuminated for 90 min, nearly 100% percentage of Cr(VI) has been reduced to Cr(III) by using 55% Fe 3 O 4 @SiO 2 /Bi 2 WO 6−x F 2x as photocatalyst, which can be attributed to the synergistic effect of magnetic Fe 3 O 4 @SiO 2 support – “core”, Bi 2 WO 6 – “shell” and the successful introduction of F − ions. A readily magnetic separation of Fe 3 O 4 @SiO 2 /Bi 2 WO 6−x F 2x catalyst enabled it to reuse conveniently for practical industry application. Finally, the enhanced photocatalytic mechanism of catalyst was proposed for Cr(VI) reduction. The present study not only provides a new mean to solve the recovery of the Bi 2 WO 6 -based photocatalyst, but also presents a promising candidate for Cr(VI) reduction in the field of the industrial wastewater treatment.

A magnetic Cl − -intercalated Fe 3 O 4 @SiO 2 @MgAl-Cl − LDH nanocomposite has been successfully synthesized by modified one-step salt-assisted coprecipitation process. The Fe 3 O 4 @SiO 2 @MgAl-Cl − LDH nanocomposite was characterized by FTIR, XRD, XPS, SEM, HRTEM, BET and VSM. The results showed that the Fe 3 O 4 @SiO 2 @MgAl-Cl − LDH particles possessed core (Fe 3 O 4 @SiO 2 ) shell (Cl − -LDH) structures and magnetic properties, and Cl − anions were successfully introduced into LDH interlayers. The unique intercalated structure with week interlayer interaction of Fe 3 O 4 @SiO 2 @MgAl-Cl − LDH provide efficient adsorption of methyl orange (MO), Congo red (CR) and methyl blue (MB), leading to its superior performance with much higher uptake capability with the maximum adsorption capacity of MO, CR and MB reaching 733 mg·g −1 , 910 mg·g −1 and 385 mg·g −1 , respectively. The adsorption process could be well described by pseudo-second-order model for MO, CR and MB. The experimental data of MO and CR could be fitted better with Freundlich model, while that of MB were fitted better with Langmuir model. The adsorption process was spontaneous and exothermic for MO and MB, while spontaneous and endothermic for CR. Moreover, the adsorbent exhibits excellent stability and reusability in the regeneration cycle, and a process called ‘‘post-processing step” is proposed to effectively improve the dye removal ability of the adsorbent in reuse. This study puts forward a new thought for the development of high-performance LDH adsorbents with mesoporous and Cl − intercalation structure for the efficient and rapid removal of dyes.

A facile step-by-step approach is developed for synthesizing the high-efficiency and magnetic recyclable Fe3O4@SiO2@Ag@Ni trepang-like nanocomposites. This method involves coating Fe2O3 nanorods with a uniform silica layer, reduction in 10% H2/Ar atmosphere to transform the Fe2O3 into magnetic Fe3O4, and finally depositing Ag@Ni core-shell nanoparticles on the L-lysine modified surface of Fe3O4@SiO2 nanorods. The fabricated nanocomposites are further characterized by x-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, scanning electron microscope, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and inductively coupled plasma mass spectroscopy. The Fe3O4@SiO2@Ag@Ni trepang-like nanocomposites exhibit remarkably higher catalytic efficiency than monometallic Fe3O4@SiO2@Ag nanocomposites toward the degradation of Rhodamine B (RhB) at room temperature, and maintain superior catalytic activity even after six cycles. In addition, these samples could be easily separated from the catalytic system by an external magnet and reused, which shows great potential applications in treating waste water.

We develop a facile layer-by-layer deposition process to create bi-functional Fe3O4@SiO2@Gd2O3:Yb,Er nanostructures composed of magnetic Fe3O4 cores, variable SiO2 mid-layers, and up-converting Gd2O3 shells. The synthetic process is well-controlled and the obtained Fe3O4@SiO2@Gd2O3:Yb,Er nanoparticles show relative monodispersity and exhibit tunable magnetic and up-conversion luminescence depending on the thickness of SiO2 mid-layers. The influences of SiO2 mid-buffer-layers on morphology, magnetism, and up-conversion luminescence are well addressed. The obtained bi-functional Fe3O4@SiO2@Gd2O3:Yb,Er nanoparticles may be potentially applicable in magnetic, fluorescent, and biological applications. The synthetic route may be employed for fabricating other multifunctional nanostructures.

Contamination of natural water with heavy metals (especially lead ions) is a problem of major concern and thus great demand of effective adsorbents for removal of toxic ions is increasing. Due to the task-specific properties of amino groups, core–shell nanostructures of Fe 3 O 4 @SiO 2 –NH 2 have been extensively investigated as advanced adsorbents; however, most studies on surface modification of Fe 3 O 4 @SiO 2 substances were of environmentally inefficient grafting methods. Herein, we demonstrated that mono-dispersed and spherical Fe 3 O 4 @SiO 2 –NH 2 nanomaterials can be facilely prepared by co-condensation of TEOS with APTMS employing a green sol–gel process. The as-prepared Fe 3 O 4 @SiO 2 –NH 2 magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) prepared under optimum conditions possessing uniform core–shell structure (∼200 nm in diameter), relatively high loading of amino-functionality (∼5.45 wt%), easy recovery by external magnet and effective removal of Pb(II) ( q m = 243.9 mg/g, 25 °C). The adsorption was shown to be effective and a higher temperature was more favorable for the adsorption. The adsorption equilibrium data obeyed the Langmuir model and the kinetic data were well fitted to the pseudo-second-order model. Thermodynamic studies revealed the feasibility and endothermic nature of the system. These results demonstrated that the sol–gel produced Fe 3 O 4 @SiO 2 –NH 2 , due to its easy synthesis and recovery and eco-friendliness, can be a potential adsorbent for Pb(II) removal.

Amorphous photonic structures (APSs) with non-iridescent, non-fading, vivid structural colors have attracted great attention in several fields. Tremendous efforts have been dedicated to developing the effective and low-cost approaches for APSs with full-color displays. Resulting from the isotropic photonic pseudogap, APSs have non-iridescent structural colors. We demonstrate that incorporating F e 3 O 4 @ Si O 2 black nanoparticles into the interspace of the periodically arranged Si O 2 white nanospheres can synthesize APSs with different colors. The addition of F e 3 O 4 @ Si O 2 black nanoparticles can enhance the saturation of the non-iridescent structural colors of the APSs by reducing the incoherent scattering in the visible spectrum. In this case, different non-iridescent colors originate from the different diameters of the Si O 2 white nanospheres, and we obtained red, orange, yellow, green, and purple APSs with high reflective index successfully. The APSs with different colors may have potential applications in coatings, cosmetics, textiles, and displays. Moreover, as we use F e 3 O 4 @ Si O 2 as the additive, APSs can be recycled through its magnetic property.

The magnetic particle Fe 3 O 4 -SiO 2 -NH 2 -Cellu-ZIF8 (FSNCZ8) was used to immobilize the high-temperature resistant GH3 β-glucosidase (Tpebgl3) from the Thermomotoga petrophila DSM 13995. The Tpebgl3 has great potential in the catalytic conversion of pharmaceutically active components. The magnetic carrier (FSNCZ8) which provided stronger adsorption capacity, magnetic and high-temperature stability than the previously discussed Fe 3 O 4 -NH 2 -Cellu-ZIF8 without tetraethyl silicate coated. The properties of FSNCZ8-Tpebgl3 (FSNCZ8-T) were as follows: The optimal temperature and pH were 90 °C and 5.5, respectively; the highest activity of FSNCZ8-T approached 2672 U/g; Fe 2+ enabled immobilized enzyme to increase its relative activity to 194%. The main characteristics of FSNCZ8-T, including thermal stability, pH stability, and glucose tolerance, were greatly enhanced by adding Fe 2+ , which was also superior to free enzymes; moreover, the residual activity of FSNCZ8-T was 74% of the initial activity at the end of 10 repeated cycles.

2,5-diformylfuran (DFF) is a multifunctional intermediate, which can be used in drugs, functional polymers, fluorescent materials and surfactants. In this paper, a TEMPO-assisted magnetic Fe 3 O 4 @SiO 2 @mSiO 2 -NH 2 -Cu(II) catalytic system was developed for the selective oxidation of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) to 2,5-diformylfuran. The structure of Fe 3 O 4 @SiO 2 @mSiO 2 -NH 2 -Cu(II) was double-layer shell-core spherical structure with uniform ordered mesoporous on the surface, amino groups and Cu were evenly distributed in the outer mesoporous. The catalyst was characterized by FT-IR, TEM, EDS, SEM, XRD, BET and VSM. The effects of reaction conditions were investigated in detail. The conversion of HMF was 98.9% and the highest DFF yield was 92.4% under atmospheric oxygen in toluene solvent. The catalytic activity did not decrease significantly after 5 cycles. The catalytic system had good substrate adaptability for benzyl alcohols and aromatic alcohols with satisfactory yield of corresponding aldehydes (91.3–100%). A possible reaction mechanism was also proposed and found that bis(μ-hydroxy) double copper (II) may be the active reactant in oxidation reaction. The system provides a promising industrialized preparation method for DFF.

The cube-like Fe 3 O 4 @SiO 2 @Ag (FSA) nanocomposites with great SERS activity have been successfully synthesized by a layer-by-layer procedure in this paper. The cube-like Fe 3 O 4 @SiO 2 core–shell structures were prepared via a new route and Ag nanoparticles were introduced onto their surface through a one-pot hydrothermal reaction. By controlling the reaction time, the coverage rate of Ag on the FSA surface could be tuned, and then a series of FSA composites were obtained. The SERS properties of these FSA composites were investigated using p -aminothiophenol ( p -ATP) as the probe molecule. It was found that the FSA composites synthesized with a reaction time of 6 h showed the best SERS performance, and the detection limit for p -ATP could reach 1 × 10 −7 M. For practical application, the FSA composites were also used to detect thiram, one of the dithiocarbamate fungicides that has been widely used as a pesticide in agriculture. The detection limit is as low as 1 × 10 −6 M (0.24 ppm), lower than the maximal residue limit of 7 ppm in fruit prescribed by the US Environmental Protection Agency. The resulting substrate with high SERS activity, stability and strong magnetic responsivity makes the FSA composite a perfect choice for practical SERS detection applications.

Membrane fouling has always been a problem hindering the practicability of ultrafiltration . Direct regulation of the structure of the cake layer formed by rapid deposition of flocs as a “secondary barrier” in the in-line coagulation ultrafiltration (C-UF) process has acquired importance as a research topic in comparison to membrane modification and standard coagulation ultrafiltration. In this study, membrane fouling was controlled in the C-UF process via coagulation/nano-scale Fe 3 O 4 load (C/FL-UF) and coagulation/nano-scale Fe 3 O 4 @SiO 2 load (C/FSL-UF). The promotion effects of these two processes (C/FL-UF and C/FSL-UF) on the reduction of membrane fouling and improvement of water quality were systematically studied employing simulated surface water. Floc characteristics, XDLVO theory, and the Hermia model, etc were employed to explain the optimization of cake layer. For coagulation/Fe 3 O 4 load, the floc size was large and loose, whereas, for coagulation/Fe 3 O 4 @SiO 2 load with high recoverability., the floc size was slightly loose. The newly constructed cake layer had improved porosity, structural stability and capacity of water transport. Meanwhile, decrease of unit adhesion free energy and secondary minimum depth along with the substantial increase of energy barrier between the reconstructed cake layers and membranes or colloids explained the mechanism of reduced membrane fouling from the surface energetics. The gradual decrease of water contact angle and the optical images proved that the affinity of the cake layer was significantly reduced. Hermia model further validated the accuracy of this study in controlling membrane fouling by regulating the formation of the cake layer. Finally, the study concluded by analyzing the practicability and efficacy of the procedure to further elucidate the applicability of this research.
