The carboxyl groups of DHCA have a strong affinity to coordination behavior of Pb^2＋ thus inducing the transformation of Fe/Fe3O4 nanoparticles from a dispersed to an aggregated state with a corresponding decrease, then increase in transverse relaxation time（T2） of the surrounding water protons. Upon addition of the different concentrations of Pb^2＋ to an aq. solution of DHCA functionalized Fe/Fe3O4 nanoparticles（DHCA-Fe/Fe3O4 NPs）（[Fe] = 90 mmol/L）, the change of T2 values display a good linear relationship with the concentration of Pb^2＋ from 40 μmol/L to 100 μmol/L and from 130 μmol/L to 200 μmol/L, respectively. Owing to the especially strong interaction between DHCA and Pb^2＋, DHCA-Fe/Fe3O4 NPs exhibited a high selectivity over other metal ions.展开更多
The Fe_3O_4/Fe/Fe_3O_4 (MIM) tri-layer films (200 nm/12-93 nm/200 um) were prepared on Si(100) by DC-magnetron reactive-sputtering followed by air- or vacuum-annealing at 280-400℃ for 1.5 h, respectively.

Magnetic properties and phases under different sandwich and annealing conditions were studied. In MIM structure, the incorporation of the interlayer iron does increase the magnetization measured under 8 kOe (M_8K), but reduce coercivity (H_c). The H_c of asdeposited films decreases from 354 Oe to 74 Oe; while M_8K increases from 254 to 392 emu/cc. By annealing in air, the whole MIM tri-layer film becomes γ-F_e2O_3, H_c is about 550 O_e and M_8K is around 250 emu/cc. The coercivity mechanism of as-deposited and annealed MIM trilayer films belongs to domain-wall pinning type. δM plots show that when the interlayer Fe thickness is 12 um, the Fe and Fe_3O_4 layers are decoupled in the as-deposited and annealed states; while it is coupled in the as deposited state when the Fe thickness increases to 23 um. Vacuum annealing of the MIM films leads to increase in both coercivity and magnetization, and to enhance the exchange coupling between layers.展开更多

The effects of the Ni content in Ni/Fe-Fe3O4 nanocomposites, solution pH, and common dissolved ions on the dechlorination efficiency were investigated, in addition to the reusability of the nanocomposites. The results showed that increasing content of Ni in Ni/Fe-FesO4 nanocomposites, from 1 to 5 wt.%, greatly increased the dechlorination efficiency; the Ni/Fe-Fe3O4 nanocomposites had much higher dechlorination efficiency than bare Ni/Fe nanoparticles. Ni content of S wt.% and initial pH below 6.0 was found to be the optimal conditions for the catalytic dechlorination of 2,4-DCP. Both 2,4-DCP and the intermediate product 2-chlorophenol （2-CP） were completely removed, and the concentra- tion of the final product phenol was close to the theoretical phenol production from complete dechlorination of 20 mg/L of 2,4-DCP, after 3 hr reaction at initial pH value of 6.0, 3 g/L Ni/Fe-Fe3O4, S wt.% Ni content in the composite, and temperature of 22℃ 2,4-DCP dechlorination was enhanced by C1- and inhibited by NO3- and SO42-. The nanocomposites were easily separated from the solution by an applied magnetic field. When the catalyst was reused, the removal efficiency of 2,4-DCP was almost 100% for the first seven uses, and gradually decreased to 75% in cycles 8-10. Therefore, the Ni/Fe-Fe3O4 nanocomposites can be considered as a potentially effective tool for remediation of Pollution bv 2.4-DCP.展开更多

The material was characterized by N2 sorption–desorption, scanning electron microscopy（SEM）, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy（FT-IR）, vibrating-sample magnetometer（VSM） measurements and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy（XPS）. The results indicated that Fe^0/Fe3O4/graphene had a layered structure with Fe crystals highly dispersed in the interlayers of graphene, which could enhance the mass transfer process between Fe^0/Fe3O4/graphene and pollutants. Fe^0/Fe3O4/graphene exhibited ferromagnetism and could be easily separated and re-dispersed for reuse in water. Typical dyes, such as Methyl Orange, Methylene Blue and Crystal Violet, could be decolorized by Fe^0/Fe3O4/graphene rapidly. After 20 min, the decolorization efficiencies of methyl orange, methylene blue and crystal violet were 94.78%, 91.60% and 89.07%, respectively. The reaction mechanism of Fe^0/Fe3O4/graphene with dyes mainly included adsorption and enhanced reduction by the composite. Thus, Fe^0/Fe3O4/graphene prepared by the one-step reduction method has excellent performance in removal of dyes in water.展开更多
