Nanoheterostructures based on nanosized Prussian blue and its Analogues: Design, properties and applications

Post-synthetic modification of Prussian blue type nanoparticles: tailoring the chemical and physical properties

“…Although it will not be discussed here, the surface PSM could also be achieved by combining PB with other inorganic materials to design original core@shell architectures. 168 More generally, these results suggest that both, the nanoparticles’ surface and internal porosity of the coordination network, could act together to improve the loading capacity of drugs in the aim to design multimodal theranostic agents.…”

“…This has been taken as an advantage to design more complex heterostructures, such as core@shell nanosystems with PBA of different chemical compositions combined with other inorganic materials (Au, Fe 3 O 4 , etc .). 168 Moreover, such approach allows post-functionalizing either the particle's surface by various functional species depending on the targeted applications or the internalisation of targeted ions or molecules into the internal porosity of the coordination framework. This provides an efficient way to implement multifunctionality at the nanoscale without altering the core features (size, composition, intrinsic properties, etc .…”

Synthesis of Prussian Blue Analogue and Its Catalytic Activity toward Reduction of Environmentally Toxic Nitroaromatic Pollutants

“…Owing to their high electronegativity and spectroscopic features, the cyanide group (CN – ) can combine with the transition-metal results in producing large diversity complexes with a great variety of coordination modes. − Moreover, PB exhibits a special structure anchored to the extended porosity and transfer of charge carriers from cyanide bridge CN through nitrogen or carbon atom to a metal center creating 1D, 2D, and 3D nanomaterials with open frameworks. , Despite the aforementioned advantages, the PBAs have some drawbacks such as low conductivity and molecular aggregation. To optimize their performance and avoid these problems, conductive nanoparticles including carbon nanotubes (CNTs) or graphene could be combined with the PB framework. , Moreover, a change in the transition metal that linked nitrogen molecules to manganese (Mn), zinc (Zn), iridium (Ir), ruthenium (Ru), cadmium (Cd), copper (Cu), cobalt (Co), chromium (Cr), and palladium (Pd) creates novel complexes with excellent structural, optical, magnetic, and electrical properties. − …”
