Preparation of superparamagnetic MnxFe1−xO nanoparticles from low-index-facet cubes to high-index-facet concave structures and their catalytic performance in aqueous solution

Abstract: We report the synthesis of concave magnetic Mn(x)Fe(1-x)O nanoparticles with high-index facet structures by a thermal decomposition approach. The particle morphology varies from cubic shape under pure Ar, to star-like shapes with exposure to air during the reaction. The oxidative etching in the presence of air (O2) strongly affects the exposed facets on the surface. These concave nanoparticles are transferred from the organic phase to aqueous solution and show distinct catalytic activity toward the degradation… Show more

“…The synthesis of magnetic plasmonic nanostructures with non-platonic geometries is a growing area of interest within this field, as these novel structures have a large surface area, strong NIR (Near Infrared) absorbance, plasmonic hot spots and interesting interactions with cells and cell components [30][31][32]. For example, an Fe 3 O 4 inner core was coated by a smooth layer of gold which then acted as a basis for the growth of the gold spikes to produce star-like Fe 3 O 4 @Au magneto-plasmonic supraparticles ( Figure 4) [33].…”

“…In the present work, the catalytic activity of magnesium chromite for the oxidation of Xylenol Orange (XO) dye molecule was examined. The use of semiconducting oxide materials, for the controlled photo catalytic degradation of harmful dye molecules released as effluents from textile industries is emerging as a lucrative way to solve environmental issues . Therefore, degradation of Rhodamine 6G (Rh‐6G) under UV–Visible irradiation using the synthesized MgCr 2 O 4 has been studied.…”

“…The use of semiconducting oxide materials, for the controlled photo catalytic degradation of harmful dye molecules released as effluents from textile industries is emerging as a lucrative way to solve environmental issues. 19,20 Therefore, degradation of Rhodamine 6G (Rh-6G) under UV-Visible irradiation using the synthesized MgCr 2 O 4 has been studied. It is noteworthy that trivalent chromium (present in MgCr 2 O 4 ) is less carcinogenic than its hexavalent form.…”

“…Several shapes of Mn x Fe 1-x O nanoparticles were prepared by thermal decomposition method, such as nanospheres, 26 concave shape nanoparticles, 27 nanocubes, 28,29 and hexagonal shape nanoparticles. 30 The advantage of Mn x Fe 1-x O is its resistance to oxidation in air compared to MnO and FeO, which makes it a good candidate for magnetic contrast agent.…”
