Improved Electrochemical Performance of Fe3O4 Nanoparticles Decorated Activated Carbon Supercapacitor Electrodes

Metal oxide decorated activated carbon (AC) composites exhibit excellent electrochemical property and which is potential for energy storage and catalytic applications. Here, we report the synthesis of iron oxide (Fe3O4) anchored AC composite for supercapacitor (SC) electrode. The citrate‐stabilized Fe3O4 aqueous dispersion (5 mg/mL) of various concentration was utilized for the functionalization of commercial AC and the sample prepared using 50 mL Fe3O4 aqueous dispersion in 2 g of AC (AC‐50Fe) displayed better surface morphology with comparable surface area and porosity. Moreover, the sample AC‐50Fe showed excellent electrochemical performance with a maximum specific capacitance value 131 Fg−1 and cyclic stability ∼105% after 10 000 charge/discharge cycles, which is much higher than the bare AC (77 Fg−1) and AC‐25Fe (91 Fg−1) electrodes. Thus, the optimum amount of Fe3O4 in AC can effectively enhance the SC performance of the electrode by supplying additional pseudocapacitance along with the electric double‐layer capacitance of AC.

A novel approach for the removal of chromium (VI) from aqueous solutions using nano iron oxide

ABSTRACT Synthesis of iron oxide was performed at different molar concentrations along with removal of chromium. The magnetite, maghemite and haematite mixture synthesised in all samples. Only Raman analysis deciphered the synthesis of haematite among all characterisation techniques applied. TEM image suggested the particles were round, irregular in shape and having size in the range of 16–18 nm. Chromium removal by synthesised nano-crystalline iron oxide/hydroxide was achieved by variation of pH (2–8), adsorbent dose (4–8 g/l), initial concentration of chromium (20–50 ppm) and temperature (30–40°C). Analysis of coefficient in regression equation for each factor suggests pH was most dominating factor (coefficient = – 43.52) followed by adsorbent dose (coefficient = 3.17) and concentration (coefficient = −3.01). Temperature did not significantly affect the adsorption process. Optimisation of the results (100% chromium removal) suggest optimum condition were at concentration 20 ppm, pH = 2–2.5 and adsorbent dose of 11 gm/l and 30°C.

Drought stress amelioration in plants using green synthesised iron oxide nanoparticles

Abstract With rising air pollution and global warming, the threat of impending drought in agricultural areas is a frightful scenario. Mitigation of such types of drought stress in Indian context is all the more important as Climate Change induced drought is poised to affect Indian farms in the future. The alleviation of abiotic stress in plants by employing iron oxide nanoparticles (FeNp) is a novel approach, not much reported. Hence, in the present study we undertook green synthesis of Iron oxide nanoparticles/magnetite (Fe3O4-Np) from a marine algae Chaetomorpha antennina (green algae). Henceforth, two types of Iron oxide nanoparticles were synthesized, characterized and employed further – bare FeNp and citrate coated FeNp. The biogenic iron oxide nanoparticles have been employed as a nano-fertilizer. However its active mechanism in the amelioration of drought stress is unknown. Henceforth, we wanted to establish the role of FeNp under drought stressed conditions and by coating it further with citrate we observed an enhanced stress amelioration effect. Drought stressed Setaria italica plants were treated with green synthesised iron oxide nanoparticles, both bare as well as capped. These FeNp not only serve as a nanonutrient for the plant, but also enabled the plant to overcome drought stress. An overall increase in the plant (Setaria italica) growth was detected. It was also observed that with increasing concentrations of FeNp (Fe3O4), the seedlings showed a concomitant increase in chlorophyll as well as soluble sugar content, suggesting that the iron up taken by the plants were used up for producing photoassimilates. The iron, H2O2 as well as proline content in the plants was also estimated, which further confirmed that the plants readily uptook FeNp and overcame the drought stress. Thus we could conclude from our experiments that, FeNp (both capped as well as bare FeNp) are effective in conferring the plants, ability to ameliorate drought stress. Throughout the experiment no toxic effect was observed in the plants. This confirms the potential of green synthesized FeNp, as an eco-friendly fertilizer even under drought stressed conditions.

Synthesis of iron oxide (β-fe2o3) nanoparticles from Iraqi grapes extract and its biomedical application

A synthesis of iron oxide (β-Fe2O3) nanoparticles (NPs) made using a simple chemical method from a mixture of iron (III) chloride (FeCl3) solution and Iraqi grape extract has applications in the biomedical field. Iraqi grape extract was used to reduce iron (III) chloride salt to iron oxide (β-Fe2O3) NPs. The green synthesis method was cheap, non-toxic, safe, and eco-friendly. The iron oxide (β-Fe2O3) NPs were diagnosed using x-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectrophotometry (FT-IR), ultraviolet spectrophotometry (UV-VIS), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The UV-VIS spectrophotometry analysis showed the energy gap (Eg) was 2.9 eV. The peak of strong absorption at 526 cm−1 indicated that a Fe-O vibration band was reported on the FT-IR spectrum. The XRD showed the highest peaks at 102 and 222, with average crystallize sizes between 29–37 nm. Besides, XRD spectrum analysis revealed a cubic structure. The surface morphology of the sample, which was identified using the SEM analysis, found the average grain size was from 49 to 50 nm with a cubic shape. After investigating the inhibition of zones, the synthesized (β-Fe2O3) NPs showed antibacterial activity of 18 mm for positive-gram aureus staphylococcus bacteria and 19 mm for negative-gram Escherichia coli baceria.

Assessment of Gold-Coated Iron Oxide Nanoparticles as Negative T2 Contrast Agent in Small Animal MRI Studies.

PurposeMagnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast agents are pharmaceuticals that enable a better visualization of internal body structures. In this study, we present the synthesis, MRI signal enhancement capabilities, in vitro as well as in vivo cytotoxicity results of gold-coated iron oxide nanoparticles (Fe3O4@AuNPs) as potential contrast agents.MethodsFe3O4@AuNPs were obtained by synthesizing iron oxide nanoparticles and gradually coating them with gold. The obtained Fe3O4@AuNPs were characterized by spectroscopies, transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and energy dispersive X-ray diffraction. The effect of the nanoparticles on the MRI signal was tested using a 7T Bruker PharmaScan system. Cytotoxicity tests were made in vitro on Fe3O4@AuNP-treated retinal pigment epithelium cells by WST-1 tests and in vivo by following histopathological changes in rats after injection of Fe3O4@AuNPs.ResultsStable Fe3O4@AuNPs were successfully prepared following a simple and fast protocol (<1h worktime) and identified using TEM. The cytotoxicity tests on cells have shown biocompatibility of Fe3O4@AuNPs at small concentrations of Fe (<1.95×10−8 mg/cell). Whereas, at higher Fe concentrations (eg 7.5×10−8 mg/cell), cell viability decreased to 80.88±5.03%, showing a mild cytotoxic effect. MRI tests on rats showed an optimal Fe3O4@AuNPs concentration of 6mg/100g body weight to obtain high-quality images. The histopathological studies revealed significant transient inflammatory responses in the time range from 2 hours to 14 days after injection and focal cellular alterations in several organs, with the lung being the most affected organ. These results were confirmed by hyperspectral microscopic imaging of the same, but unstained tissues. In most organs, the inflammatory responses and sublethal cellular damage appeared to be transitory, except for the kidneys, where the glomerular damage indicated progression towards glomerular sclerosis.ConclusionThe obtained stable, gold covered, iron oxide nanoparticles with reduced cytotoxicity, gave a negative T2 signal in the MRI, which makes them suitable for candidates as contrast agent in small animal MRI applications.

Bio-synthesized iron oxide nanoparticles for cancer treatment.

Various living organisms, such as bacteria, plants, and animals can synthesize iron oxide nanoparticles (IONP). The mechanism of nanoparticle (NP) formation is usually described as relying on the reduction of ferric/ferrous iron ions into crystallized nanoparticulate iron that is surrounded by an organic stabilizing layer. The properties of these NP are characterized by a composition made of different types of iron oxide whose most stable and purest one appears to be maghemite, by a size predominantly comprised between 5 and 380nm, by a crystalline core, by a surface charge which depends on the nature of the material coating the iron oxide, and by certain other properties such as a sterility, stability, production in mass, absence of aggregation, that have apparently only been studied in details for IONP synthesized by magnetotactic bacteria, called magnetosomes. In the majority of studies, bio-synthesized IONP are described as being biocompatible and as not inducing cytotoxicity towards healthy cells. Anti-tumor activity of bio-synthesized IONP has mainly been demonstrated in vitro, where this type of NP displayed cytotoxicity towards certain tumor cells, e.g. through the anti-tumor activity of IONP coating or through IONP anti-oxidizing property. Concerning in vivo anti-tumor activity, it was essentially highlighted for magnetosomes administered in different types of glioblastoma tumors (U87-Luc and GL-261), which were exposed to a series of alternating magnetic field applications, resulting in mild hyperthermia treatments at typical temperatures of 41-45°C, leading to the full disappearance of these tumors without any observable side effects.

Finally, challenges and perspectives are proposed for future investigations on the liquid-phase synthesis and applications of iron oxide nanostructured materials.

Green Synthesis of Fe2O3 Nanoparticles from Orange Peel Extract and a Study of Its Antibacterial Activity

An eco-friendly and economical, green synthesis method has been employed for the synthesis of iron-oxide (Fe2O3) nanoparticles by using orange peel extract as a stabilizing agent. The thermody-namic properties were evaluated using thermogravimetric analysis-diffraction scanning calorimetry (TGA-DSC), the formation of Fe2O3 nanoparticles was confirmed using fourier transform infra-red spectroscopy (FTIR), X-Ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy-energy dispersive X-ray (SEM-EDX) spectroscopy. The hydrodynamic diameter was observed using a dynamic laser scattering-particle size analyser (DLS-PSA). The green synthesized nanoparticles were used to evaluate their antibacterial activity via the agar well diffusion method against gram positive (Bacillus subtilis, Staphylococcus aureusb) and gram negative (Escherichia coli., Pseudomonas aeruginosa) bacteria while keeping benzalkonium chloride, chlorhexidine, hexachlorophene and phenol as controls.

Core–Double-Shell Fe2O3@SiO2@Jarosite Hybrid Nanoparticles Synthesized by Laser Ablation of Turquoise in Ethanol

This work highlights a facile green route for the one-step synthesis of iron oxide core–double-shell nanoparticles (NPs) and aluminum phosphide (AlP) nanosheets by pulsed laser ablation of the mineral turquoise target from Nishapur in the presence of an ethanol solvent. High-resolution transmission electron microscopy, selected-area electron diffraction pattern, and field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) in combination with energy-dispersive X-ray mapping revealed the formation of NPs with a typical core@double-shell structure in which crystalline α-Fe2O3 (iron oxide) formed the core, while SiO2 (quartz) and (K, H3O)Fe3(SO4)2(OH6) (jarosite) participated as the inner and outer shell, respectively. However, the application of laser ablation on the turquoise phase of the target led to the formation of AlP nanosheets which was confirmed by the X-ray diffraction patterns and FESEM images. Strong absorption of the vein-ablated species in the UV region (250–360 nm) was the characteristic feature of α-Fe2O3 and jarosite phases, while the absorption band at 250–300 nm for the turquoise-ablated species was related to the presence of Cu compound species and also the α-Fe2O3 phase in the sample. Photoluminescence emission spectra for the vein-ablated species depicted a peak centered at 370 nm, while a peak located at 364 nm was ascribed to the turquoise-ablated species. In particular, these hybrid NPs with high purity and stability may offer new opportunities for bio-applications such as anticancer agents and water/wastewater applications.

SEM showed that the green synthesizing Iron oxide nanoparticles having in general as cubical shape. As a result, the use of Mentha pulegium L. leaves extract offers its ease, fast, low cost and friendly to the environment compared to other methods.

Green synthesis of iron oxide nanorods using Withania coagulans extract improved photocatalytic degradation and antimicrobial activity

Present work compares the green synthesis of iron oxide nanorodes (NRs) using Withania coagulans and reduction precipitation based chemical method. UV/Vis confirmed the sharp peak of Iron oxide NRs synthesized by biologically and chemically on 294 and 278 nm respectively. XRD and SEM showed highly crystalline nature of NRs with average size 16 ± 2 nm using Withania extract and less crystalline with amorphous Nanostructure of 18 ± 2 nm by chemical method. FTIR analysis revealed the involvement of active bioreducing and stabilizing biomolecules in Withania coagulans extract for synthesis of NRs. Moreover, EDX analysis indicates 34.91% of Iron oxide formation in biological synthesis whereas 25.8% of iron oxide synthesis in chemical method. The degradation of safranin dye in the presence of Withania coagulans based NRs showed 30% more effectively than chemically synthesized Nanorods which were verified by the gradual decrease in the peak intensity at 553 nm and 550 nm respectively under solar irradiation. Furthermore, Withania coagulans based NRs showed effective Antibacterial activity against S.aureus and P. aeuroginosa as compared to NRs by chemical method. Finally, we conclude that green synthesized NRs are more effective and functionally more efficient than chemically prepared NRs. Therefore, our work will help the researchers to boost the synthesis of nanoparticles via biological at commercial level.

Simultaneous detection of l-aspartic acid and glycine using wet-chemically prepared Fe3O4@ZnO nanoparticles: real sample analysis

An easy and reliable wet-chemical method was used to synthesize iron oxide doped zinc oxide nanoparticles (Fe3O4@ZnO NPs) at a low-temperature under alkaline medium. The electrochemical characteristics of Fe3O4@ZnO NPs were investigated by using different electrochemical techniques such as UV-vis, FTIR, XRD, FESEM, XEDS, and XPS. A sensor was fabricated by deposition of a thin covering of Fe3O4@ZnO NPs onto a flat dried glassy carbon electrode (GCE) with a polymer matrix with conducting characteristics (Nafion, Nf). l-Aspartic acid and glycine were detected simultaneously by using the modified GCE/Fe3O4@ZnO NPs/Nf sensor in enzyme free conditions. Calibration curves were found to be linear for l-aspartic acid (R2 = 0.9593) and glycine (R2 = 0.8617) over a broad range of detected bio-molecule concentration (100.0 pM to 100.0 mM). The analytical sensing parameters, for example sensitivity, linear dynamic range (LDR), limit of detection (LOD), and limit of quantification (LOQ), of the proposed sensor (GCE/Fe3O4@ZnO NPs/Nf) were calculated at two potentials (+0.4 V and +0.7 V) from the calibration plot for l-aspartic acid (126.58 pM μM−1 cm2, 100.0 pM to 10.0 μM, ≈97.5 pM, and 325.0 mM) and glycine (316.46 pM μM−1 cm2, 1.0 μM to 1.0 mM, ≈13.5 pM, and 450.0 mM), respectively, by using a reliable current–voltage (I–V) technique. The synthesis of Fe3O4@ZnO NPs by means of a wet-chemical route is a good advancement for the development of doped nanomaterial based sensors from the perspective of enzyme-free detection of biological molecules in health-care areas. This proposed GCE/Fe3O4@ZnO NPs/Nf sensor was used for the particular detection of l-aspartic acid and glycine in real samples (human and rabbit serum and urine) and found to achieve reasonable and accepted results.

Step-by-step monitoring of a magnetic and SERS-active immunosensor assembly for purification and detection of tau protein.

We report a bottom‐up synthesis of iron oxide and gold nanoparticles, which are functionalized and combined to form a nanohybrid serving as an immune sensor, which selectively binds to tau protein, a biomarker for diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease. Detection of the target analyte is achieved by surface‐enhanced Raman scattering originating from the diagnostic part of the nanohybrid that was prepared from Au nanoparticles functionalized with 5,5′‐dithiobis‐(2‐nitrobenzoic acid) as a Raman reporter and monoclonal anti‐tau antibody. The magnetic part consists of FexOy nanoparticles functionalized with polyclonal anti‐tau antibody and is capable to separate tau protein from a complex matrix such as cerebrospinal fluid. We further identified and validated a set of analytical tools that allow monitoring the success of both nanoparticle preparation and each functionalization step performed during the assembly of the two binding sites by an immune reaction. By applying UV/Vis spectroscopy, dynamic light scattering, zeta potential measurements, X‐ray diffraction, small‐angle X‐ray scattering, and transmission electron microscopy, we demonstrate a proof‐of‐concept for a controlled and step‐by‐step traceable synthesis of a tau protein‐specific immune sensor.

The aim of the work is to synthesize iron oxide (α-Fe2O3) nanoparticles using Sida cordifolia plant extract along with evaluation of its antibacterial activity. The presence of phytochemicals in Sida cordifolia methanolic plant extract was investigated by HPTLC and LC-MS/TOF. The probable mechanism for formation of α-Fe2O3 nanoparticles in mediation with plant extract was demonstrated. The green synthesized iron oxide nanoparticles (α-Fe2O3 NPs) were characterized by using X-ray diffraction, scanning, and transmission electronic microscopy, TG-DTA, FTIR, and UV spectroscopy. The crystallite size of prepared α-Fe2O3 nanoparticles estimated via Debye-Scherrer formula and Williamson-Hall plot was around 20 nm which is in accordance with particle size in TEM images. The S. cordifolia mediated iron-oxide nanoparticles (α-Fe2O3 NPs) hold potent antibacterial activity against various gram positive and gram negative bacteria.

Phase structure dependence of magnetic behaviour in iron oxide nanorods

Magnetic properties in iron oxide nanorods, which have many applications in biomedicine, catalysts, and magnetic resonance imaging, depend on their manufacturing processes and phase structures. Although various structures on iron oxide have been reported, there is a lack of understanding of the property-phase relationship for iron oxide nanorods. Herein, we report an economical route to synthesize iron oxide nanorods with alterable phases including akaganeite (β-FeOOH), hematite (α-Fe2O3), maghemite (γ-Fe2O3), and magnetite (Fe3O4). Detailed analysis of the synthesis methods, phase structures and magnetic properties of iron oxide nanorods identified the relationship between the phase structure and the magnetic properties. The findings reported in this paper show that the excellent tunability of magnetism in iron oxide nanorods will pave the way for selecting the best manufacturing process to meet the desired properties of specific applications such as carriers in biomedicine, magnetic recording materials, gas sensors and catalysts applications.

Low Temperature Synthesis of Iron Oxide and Nickel Phosphide Based Flexible Redox Electrodes for Supercapattery Application

Energy storage systems play a vital role in rationalizing the imminent energy crisis and ecological discomfort. The modern tactic of resolving the lack of energy density dispute with the flexible supercapattery systems that could provide both high power and energy density in any form such as bending, stretching, twisting, and folding modes are trending in the field of energy storage devices. Here, we interpret a facile and efficient low-temperature approach to prepare iron oxide (Fe3O4) and nickel phosphide (Ni2P) as anode and cathode, respectively. The formation of well-defined, highly crystalline and single-phase pure Fe3O4 and Ni2P was identified through XRD and XPS analysis. The morphological feature portrays the uniform distribution of both the Fe3O4 and Ni2P nanoparticles. The electrochemical activity of the prepared Fe3O4 and Ni2P electrodes revealed improved storage capacity of 106 and 354 C g-1 at a current density of 3 and 1 A g-1, respectively. Successively, a lab scale flexible supercapattery device (Fe3O4 || Ni2P) was fabricated with an improved energy density (31.5 W kg-1) and superior power density (6400 Wh kg-1). Moreover, the fabricated device showed resilient strength and high cyclic stability by retaining 80 % of its initial capacity for about 20000 cycles. Therefore, a facile low-cost route is proposed to fabricate an efficient, flexible supercapattery system with improved storage property expressive kinetics, resilient strength and enhanced flexibility established itself as a potential material for supercapacitor application.

Synthesis of iron oxides impregnated green adsorbent from sugarcane bagasse: Characterization and evaluation of adsorption efficiency

This present research aims to synthesize and investigate the adsorption potential of sugarcane bagasse (SCB) impregnated with iron oxide (Fe3O4) for dye removal. The surface morphology and functional groups of the newly developed adsorbent (ISCB) were studied using Scanning Electron Microscopy/Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM/EDX), Fourier transforms infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) analysis. The effects of the operating parameters, including initial dye concentration, adsorbent dosage, contact time and initial pH of the dye solution on the adsorption efficiency were investigated to identify an optimal condition. The characterization of SEM-EDX and FTIR analyses shows that ISCB has a porous structure and carbon-containing functional groups. The adsorption result revealed that ISCB removed 93.7% of dye, 88.8% of color and had a dye adsorption capacity of 7.2 mg/g within 6 h of contact time using 0.7 g/L of ISCB at pH 8.4. The result obtained fitted well for Langmuir isotherms, and adsorption process followed the pseudo-second-order kinetic model. In conclusion, this study proved that ISCB has the potential to be used as an effective and low-cost adsorbent to remove dyes from wastewater.
