The morphological, structural, and magnetic properties were tuned via the thermal treatment in H2. The samples were studied using XPS, TEM, Mössbauer spectroscopy, DC magnetic measurements, and electrochemical measurements. Ritveld refinements showed that the sample NiFe-500 has FCC (face-centered cubic) and BCC (body-centered cubic) NiFe alloys, while the sample NiFe-700 has only FCC NiFe alloy. For both samples, magnetization measurements in the range of 300–900 K showed the presence of the Griffiths phase, indicating the formation of clusters of either Fe or Ni-Fe alloys rich in Fe. The sample NiFe-500 presented ferromagnetic (FM) transitions at 533, 700, and 834 K, assigned to the alloys Ni37Fe63-FCC, Ni46Fe54-FCC, and Ni55Fe45-FCC, respectively. In contrast, we could not observe the FM transition of the BCC Ni-Fe alloy because of limitations in our experimental setup (T ≤ 900 K). Meanwhile, three FM transitions were observed for the sample NiFe-700 at 480, 655, and 825 K, attributed to the alloys Ni34Fe66-FCC, Ni43Fe57-FCC, and Ni54Fe46-FCC, respectively. At 5 K, the samples NiFe-500 and NiFe-700 have saturation magnetizations of 164.2 and 173.6 emu g−1, respectively. For application in Oxygen Evolution Reaction catalysis, the samples NiFe-500 and NiFe-700 showed different overpotentials of 319 and 307 mV at 10 mA cm−2. These low overpotential values indicate a higher electrochemical activity of the FCC Ni-Fe alloy and, for both samples, a superior electrocatalytic activity in comparison to RuO2 e IrO2 conventional catalysts. Furthermore, the samples showed high electrochemical stability in chrono potentiometric studies for up to 15 h. This current work highlights that the Ni-Fe alloys produced via the proteic sol–gel and with a reduction in H2 methods can be promising for OER systems due to their good performance and low costs.","PeriodicalId":18194,"journal":{"name":"Magnetochemistry","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2023-08-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44338100","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The material emphasizes the combination of a magnetic material (which allows for easy recovery after application) with niobium pentoxide (a metal which is abundant in Brazil). CFNb was applied as a catalyst for the paracetamol (PCT) degradation by photocatalysis.

The reaction parameters studied included pH and catalyst concentration. The results indicated that the CFNb nanocatalysts were efficient in the paracetamol degradation, presenting better results in conditions of low pH (close to 2) and low catalyst concentration under irradiation of the 250 W mercury vapor lamp (greater than 28 mW·cm−2) at 60 min of reaction.","PeriodicalId":18194,"journal":{"name":"Magnetochemistry","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2023-08-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45491984","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Mössbauer spectra of the samples doped with Fe atoms both on the surface and in the core can be described quite satisfactorily using two and three doublets with different quadrupole splitting, respectively.

The dynamics of non-magnetic droplets and gas bubbles in magnetic fluids were investigated for various configurations of magnetic fields, coatings, and channel geometries, as well as the rate of component supply and their physical properties. Optimal regimes for forming droplet and bubble flows were determined. The mechanism for non-contact control of the size of droplets and bubbles using a magnetic field is proposed in this article. The dependences of the sizes of non-magnetic inclusions in magnetic liquids on the continuous phase flow rate and the displacement of magnets were obtained. The obtained dependences of the volume of non-magnetic inclusions on the flow rate of the continuous phase follow the classic dependences. Changing the size of air bubbles can be achieved by shifting the magnet from −5 mm to +2 mm. The ratio of the maximum and minimum breakaway inclusion varies from 5 to 2 depending on the flow rates of the continuous phase. The range of changing the size of oil droplets with the displacement of magnets is from 1.1 to 1.51. These studies show how, with the help of various mechanisms of influence on microfluidic flows, it is possible to control the size of bubbles and droplets forming in microchannels. The obtained data can be applied for controlled microfluidic dosing and counting devices.","PeriodicalId":18194,"journal":{"name":"Magnetochemistry","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2023-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42114857","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The magnetic properties of MMIPs allow easy magnetic separation of various pollutants and analytes. A convenient and simple approach has been developed for the preparation of MMIPs based on polyamide (nylon-6) and magnetic nanoparticles. The polymer matrix was formed during the transition of nylon-6 from a dissolved state to a solid state in the presence of template molecules and Fe3O4 nanoparticles in the initial solution. Methylene blue (MB) was used as a model imprinted template molecule. The MMIPs exhibited a maximum adsorption amount of MB reached 110 µmol/g. The selectivity coefficients toward MB structural analogs were estimated to be 6.1 ± 0.6 and 2.1 ± 0.3 for 15 μM hydroxyethylphenazine and toluidine blue, which shows high MMIP selectivity. To prove the MMIPs’ specificity in MB recognition, magnetic nonimprinted polymers (MNIPs) were synthesized without the presence of a template molecule. MMIPs exhibited much higher specificity in comparison to MNIPs. To show the remarkable reusability of the MMIP sorbent, more than four MB absorption and release cycles were carried out, demonstrating almost the same extraction capacity step by step. We believe that the proposed molecular imprinting technology, shown in the MB magnetic separation example, will bring new advances in the area of MMIPs for various applications.","PeriodicalId":18194,"journal":{"name":"Magnetochemistry","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2023-07-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48431331","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The FN and PFN nanocatalysts were characterized using various methods for the photocatalytic degradation of Rhodamine B (RhB). The XRD, Raman, TEM, and DTA-DTG analyses suggest that the FN nanoparticles (NPs) were effectively coated by PANI and that there were interactions between FN and PANI. Magnetic measurements indicated that PFN nanocomposites exhibited good superparamagnetic behavior and high saturation magnetization (39.5–57.6 emu/g), which are suitable for separating photocatalysts from solution for reuse. Adsorption-desorption analysis showed that the specific surface area of PFN was higher than that of FN. The UV-vis absorption spectra of FN and PFN nanocomposites exhibited strong absorption of visible light, attributed to the doping of Ni, which resulted in the reduction of the band-gap energy (Eg) of Fe3O4 to 2.4 eV. PFN nanocomposites with different mass ratios of PANI demonstrated superior photocatalytic activity compared to FN NPs. Furthermore, it was observed that PFN with a 10% mass ratio of PANI exhibited the highest RhB degradation efficiency, achieving a rate of approximately 98% after 300 min of irradiation. Finally, the possible photocatalytic degradation mechanisms of the PFN nanocomposites on RhB were discussed. PFN photocatalysts with good photocatalytic activity, inexpensive materials, and easy preparation could be potential candidates for wastewater purification applications.","PeriodicalId":18194,"journal":{"name":"Magnetochemistry","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2023-07-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45385246","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Both the doped and pristine NWs displayed dominant 002 peaks, confirming their vertical alignment. The Ni-doped NWs exhibited a leftward shift compared to the pristine NWs. TEM measurements confirmed the high crystallinity of individual NWs, with a d-spacing of ~0.267 nm along the c-axis. Ni-doped NWs had a higher density, indicating increased nucleation sites due to nickel doping. Doped NW films on glass showed enhanced absorbance in the visible region, suggesting the creation of sub-gap defect levels from nickel doping. Magnetization vs. magnetic field measurements revealed a small hysteresis loop, indicative of soft ferromagnetic behavior. Current transient plots demonstrated an increase in current with an applied magnetic field. Two-terminal devices exhibited a photo response that intensified with magnetic field application. This increase was attributed to parallel grain alignment, resulting in enhanced carrier concentration and photo response. In the dark, transport properties displayed negative magnetoresistance behavior. This magneto-transport effect and enhanced photo response (under an LED at ~395 nm) were attributed to giant magnetoresistance (GMR) in the aligned NWs. The observed behavior arose from reduced carrier scattering, improved transport properties, and parallel spin alignment in the magnetic field.","PeriodicalId":18194,"journal":{"name":"Magnetochemistry","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2023-07-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47964985","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We studied the changes in the 13C NMR chemical shifts in particular due to the formation of one or two glycosidic linkages and due to crystal water. The largest changes, up to 14 ppm, are observed between the mono- and disaccharides and typically for the glycosidic linkage atoms, but not in all cases. An analysis of the bond angles at the glycosidic linkage and the observed changes in chemical shifts displays no direct correlation between them. Somewhat smaller changes in the range of 2 to 5 ppm are observed when single crystal water molecules are close to some of the atoms.
