A new route for obtaining Prussian blue nanoparticles

Synthesis of Fe4[Fe(CN)6]3·14H2O Nanopowder by Co-Precipitation Technique and Effect of Heat Treatment

“…In addition, the present work establishes co-precipitation technique with spraying of drops (through piezoelectric process) whose arrangement is successful wet chemical method to synthesize fine and uniform particle size with non-agglomerate particles, easily scale-up, low cost and time saving technique. Moreover, shape of the nanocrystallites (PB family and iron oxide) are spherical with uniform homogeneity as compared to earlier reports [12,26,27]. Here it is worth pointing out that PB suspension can be mixed with the other metal oxide, e.g.…”

Biocompatible Prussian blue nanoparticles: Preparation, stability, cytotoxicity, and potential use as an MRI contrast agent

“…Besides the typical reverse micelle technique, a number of other methods that use a polymeric matrix, silica scaffold or other templates to induce the formation of nanoparticles and to prevent the subsequent agglomeration of the formed nanoparticles are known [22][23][24][25][26][27]. In order to circumvent the use of any complex organic or polymeric additive that is necessary for the formation of water-in-oil microemulsion or as the matrix template, but otherwise may be nonbiocompatible, we set out to develop a simple one-step aqueous solution route for preparing biocompatible PBNPs.…”

Solvent mixture effect in the zinc hexacyanoferrate (III) nanoparticles: Synthesis, characterization and voltammetric application

“…The detail is that the maximum absorption band (l max ) of the nanoparticles was blue-shifted, i.e., ZnH-4, ZnH-3, ZnH-2 slightly shifted to shorter wavelengths from that of ZnH-1. These data suggest that the particles exhibited size-quantization effects [34,38]. Fig.…”

“…The nanoparticles were synthesized according to the procedure described in the literature [34], with some modifications described as follows: two solutions, A and B, were prepared. Solution A consisted of 2.13 Â 10 À3 mol of K 3 [Fe(CN) 6 ] dissolved in a solution of 30 mL of water and formamide mixture.…”
