Recyclable Au/SiO₂-Shell/Fe₃O₄-Core Catalyst for the Reduction of Nitro Aromatic Compounds in Aqueous Solution.

ABSTRACT: Highly stable gold nanoparticles immobilized on the surface of amine-functionalized nanocomposite microspheres possessing a magnetite (Fe₃O₄) nanoparticle core and a silica (SiO₂) shell (Au/SiO₂-shell/Fe₃O₄-core) were prepared. These gold nanocomposite catalysts were tested for 4-nitrophenol (4-NP) and 2-nitroaniline (2-NA) reduction in aqueous solution in the temperature range 293-323 K and in the presence of aqueous NaBH₄ reducing agent. The magnetically recyclable gold catalyst showed high stability (∼3 months), efficient recyclability (up to 10 cycles), and high activity (∼100% conversion within 225 s, ∼700 ppm 4-NP or 2-NA). The pseudo-first-order apparent reaction rate constants (k) of 4-NP and 2-NA reduction were 7.5 × 10^-3 and 4.1 × 10^-3 s^-1, respectively, and with an apparent catalytic activity of 4.48 × 10^-8 kmol/(m³ s).

Surface Plasmon Resonance Sensor Based on Core-Shell Fe3O4@SiO2@Au Nanoparticles Amplification Effect for Detection of T-2 Toxin.

Project description:In this paper, a core-shell based on the Fe3O4@SiO2@Au nanoparticle amplification technique for a surface plasmon resonance (SPR) sensor is proposed. Fe3O4@SiO2@AuNPs were used not only to amplify SPR signals, but also to rapidly separate and enrich T-2 toxin via an external magnetic field. We detected T-2 toxin using the direct competition method in order to evaluate the amplification effect of Fe3O4@SiO2@AuNPs. A T-2 toxin-protein conjugate (T2-OVA) immobilized on the surface of 3-mercaptopropionic acid-modified sensing film competed with T-2 toxin to combine with the T-2 toxin antibody-Fe3O4@SiO2@AuNPs conjugates (mAb-Fe3O4@SiO2@AuNPs) as signal amplification elements. With the decrease in T-2 toxin concentration, the SPR signal gradually increased. In other words, the SPR response was inversely proportional to T-2 toxin. The results showed that there was a good linear relationship in the range of 1 ng/mL~100 ng/mL, and the limit of detection was 0.57 ng/mL. This work also provides a new possibility to improve the sensitivity of SPR biosensors in the detection of small molecules and in disease diagnosis.

One-pot one-step synthesis of Au@SiO2 core-shell nanoparticles and their shell-thickness-dependent fluorescent properties.

Project description:Herein, we report a one-pot one-step method for the preparation of Au@SiO2 core-shell nanoparticles (NPs) via a facile heating treatment of an alcoholic-aqueous solution of chloroauric acid (HAuCl4), 2-methylaminoethanol (2-MAE), cetyltrimethylammonimum bromide (CTAB), and tetraethylorthosilicate (TEOS). The size of the Au core and the thickness of the silica shell can be easily controlled by simply adjusting the volume of HAuCl4 and TEOS, respectively, which can hardly be achieved by other approaches. The as-prepared Au@SiO2 core-shell NPs exhibited shell-thickness-dependent fluorescent properties. The optimum fluorescence enhancement of fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) was found to occur at a silica shell thickness of 34 nm with an enhancement factor of 5.0. This work provides a new approach for the preparation of Au@SiO2 core-shell NPs and promotes their potential applications in ultrasensitive analyte detection, theranostics, catalysts and thin-film solar cells.

Structural and magnetic properties of core-shell Au/Fe3O4 nanoparticles.

Project description:We present a systematic study of core-shell Au/Fe3O4 nanoparticles produced by thermal decomposition under mild conditions. The morphology and crystal structure of the nanoparticles revealed the presence of Au core of d?=?(6.9?±?1.0) nm surrounded by Fe3O4 shell with a thickness of ~3.5?nm, epitaxially grown onto the Au core surface. The Au/Fe3O4 core-shell structure was demonstrated by high angle annular dark field scanning transmission electron microscopy analysis. The magnetite shell grown on top of the Au nanoparticle displayed a thermal blocking state at temperatures below TB?=?59?K and a relaxed state well above TB. Remarkably, an exchange bias effect was observed when cooling down the samples below room temperature under an external magnetic field. Moreover, the exchange bias field (HEX) started to appear at T~40?K and its value increased by decreasing the temperature. This effect has been assigned to the interaction of spins located in the magnetically disordered regions (in the inner and outer surface of the Fe3O4 shell) and spins located in the ordered region of the Fe3O4 shell.

Project description:A sustainable magnetic core-shell nanocatalyst Fe3O4@C@Fe(III) was successfully applied in the synthesis of a series of 2-nitro-2,3-unsaturated O-glycosides with excellent yields (up to 89%) and high stereoselectivity (α:β > 19:1). The substrate ranges are widely applicable, including different kinds of alcohols and even structurally complex acceptors. In addition, phenols could be applied in good yields. Moreover, the catalyst could be easily separated from the reaction by the application of an external magnetic force and reused a minimum of five times without any significant decrease in catalytic performance.

Project description:In this research, we describe the synthesis of silica-coated nano-Fe3O4 particles, which were successfully modified by diaminopyrimidine, and their physicochemical properties were characterized using FT-IR, XRD, TEM, FE-SEM, EDX, EDX-mapping, and TGA. The catalytic activity of this novel nano-catalyst was evaluated by three-component reactions for the preparation of pyranothiazolopyrimidines and 4H-pyrans under solvent-free conditions. Recyclability of the catalyst up to six consecutive rounds, atom economy, high yield and purity of desired products, and easy work-up method are some of the exciting features of this system that make it more favorable from a green chemistry point of view.

Recyclable SERS-Based Immunoassay Guided by Photocatalytic Performance of Fe3O4@TiO2@Au Nanocomposites.

Project description:A novel recyclable surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS)-based immunoassay was demonstrated and exhibited extremely high sensitivity toward prostate specific antigen (PSA). The immunoassay, which possessed a sandwich structure, was constructed of multifunctional Fe3O4@TiO2@Au nanocomposites as immune probe and Ag-coated sandpaper as immune substrate. First, by adjusting the density of outside Au seeds on Fe3O4@TiO2 core-shell nanoparticles (NPs), the structure-dependent SERS and photocatalytic performance of the samples was explored by monitoring and degradating 4-mercaptobenzonic acid (4MBA). Afterwards, the SERS enhancement capability of Ag-coated sandpaper with different meshes was investigated, and a limit of detection (LOD), as low as 0.014 mM, was achieved by utilizing the substrate. Subsequently, the recyclable feasibility of PSA detection was approved by zeta potential measurement, absorption spectra, and SEM images and, particularly, more than 80% of SERS intensity still existed after even six cycles of immunoassay. The ultralow LOD of the recyclable immunoassay was finally calculated to be 1.871 pg/mL. Therefore, the recyclable SERS-based immunoassay exhibits good application prospects for diagnosis of cancer in clinical measurements.

Synthesis and photoluminescence properties of silica-modified SiO2@ANA-Si-Tb@SiO2, SiO2@ANA-Si-Tb-L@SiO2 core-shell-shell nanostructured composites.

Project description:Three novel core-shell nanostructured composites SiO2@ANA-Si-Tb, SiO2@ANA-Si-Tb-L (L = second ligand) with SiO2 as the core and terbium organic complex as the shell were successfully synthesized. The core and shell were connected together by covalent bonds. The terbium ion was coordinated with organic ligand-forming terbium organic complex in the shell layer. The organosilane (HOOCC5H4NN(CONH(CH2)3Si(OCH2CH3)3)2 (abbreviated as ANA-Si) was used as the first ligand and 1,10-phenanthroline (phen) or 2-thenoyltrifluoroacetone (TTA) was used as the second ligand. Furthermore, silica-modified SiO2@ANA-Si-Tb@SiO2, SiO2@ANA-Si-Tb-L@SiO2 core-shell-shell nanostructured composites were also synthesized by sol-gel chemical route, which involved the hydrolysis and polycondensation processes of tetraethoxysilane (TEOS) using cetyltrimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB) as a surface-active agent. An amorphous silica shell was coated around the SiO2@ANA-Si-Tb, SiO2@ANA-Si-Tb-L core-shell nanostructured composites. The core-shell and core-shell-shell nanostructured composites exhibited excellent luminescence in the solid state. Meanwhile, an improved luminescent stability property of the core-shell-shell nanostructured composites was observed for the aqueous solution. This type of core-shell-shell nanostructured composites exhibited bright luminescence, high stability and good solubility, which may present potential applications in the fields of optoelectronic devices, bio-imaging, medical diagnosis and study on the structure of function composite materials.

Controlled synthesis and luminescence properties of core-shell-shell structured SiO2@AIPA-S-Si-Eu@SiO2 and SiO2@AIPA-S-Si-Eu-phen@SiO2 nanocomposites.

Project description:Two novel core-shell structured SiO2@AIPA-S-Si-Eu and SiO2@AIPA-S-Si-Eu-phen nanocomposites have been synthesized by a bifunctional organic ligands ((HOOC)2C6H3NHCONH(CH2)3Si(OCH2CH3)3) (defined as AIPA-S-Si) connected with Eu3+ ions and silica via covalent bond. And the corresponding core-shell-shell structured SiO2@AIPA-S-Si-Eu@SiO2 and SiO2@AIPA-S-Si-Eu-phen@SiO2 nanocomposites with enhanced luminescence have been synthesized by tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) hydrolysis co-deposition method. The composition and micromorphology of the nanocomposites were characterized by means of Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), thermal gravimetric analysis (TG), X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectrometry (EDX) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The as-synthesized core-shell and core-shell-shell structured nanocomposites have excellent luminescence intensity and long lifetime. The nanocomposites show bright red light under ultraviolet lamp. However, the core-shell-shell structured nanocomposites have stronger luminescence intensity than the corresponding core-shell structured nanocomposites. Meanwhile, the core-shell-shell structured nanocomposites still exhibit good luminescence stability in aqueous solution. In addition, a large number of Si-OH on the surface of the core-shell-shell structured nanocomposites can be attached to many biomacromolecules. Therefore, they have potential applications in the fields of biology and luminescence.
