[PMID: 38628721 PMCID: PMC11016983 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2024.e29244] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/06/2024] [Revised: 04/03/2024] [Accepted: 04/03/2024] [Indexed: 04/19/2024] Open
Abstract
This comprehensive review examines the immense capacity of nanowires, nanostructures characterized by unbounded dimensions, to profoundly transform the field of biomedicine. Nanowires, which are created by combining several materials using techniques such as electrospinning and vapor deposition, possess distinct mechanical, optical, and electrical properties. As a result, they are well-suited for use in nanoscale electronic devices, drug delivery systems, chemical sensors, and other applications. The utilization of techniques such as the vapor-liquid-solid (VLS) approach and template-assisted approaches enables the achievement of precision in synthesis. This precision allows for the customization of characteristics, which in turn enables the capability of intracellular sensing and accurate drug administration. Nanowires exhibit potential in biomedical imaging, neural interfacing, and tissue engineering, despite obstacles related to biocompatibility and scalable manufacturing. They possess multifunctional capabilities that have the potential to greatly influence the intersection of nanotechnology and healthcare. Surmounting present obstacles has the potential to unleash the complete capabilities of nanowires, leading to significant improvements in diagnostics, biosensing, regenerative medicine, and next-generation point-of-care medicines.

NANOMATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2024; 14:599. [PMID: 38607133 PMCID: PMC11013317 DOI: 10.3390/nano14070599] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/11/2024] [Revised: 03/26/2024] [Accepted: 03/27/2024] [Indexed: 04/13/2024]
Abstract
In this study, we report the influence of the Pt concentration in CoxPt100-x alloys on the catalytic activity of the alloys for 4-nitrophenol (4-NP) reduction. More precisely, a series of CoxPt100-x alloys with a Pt concentration ranging between 60% and 95% were prepared using electrodeposition at controlled potentials from stable hexachloroplatinate aqueous solution. The Pt concentration was tuned by varying the electrodeposition potential from -0.6 to -0.9 V. The changes in the CoxPt100-x alloy microstructure and crystalline structure have been investigated using SEM and TEM analysis. Our results show that the microstructure and the crystalline structure of the as-prepared materials do not depend on the electrodeposition potential. However, the catalytic activity of CoxPt100-x alloys is closely correlated with the potential applied during electrochemical synthesis, hence the Pt content. We demonstrated that the synthesized materials present a high catalytic activity (approx. 90%) after six cycles of reusability despite the fact that the Pt content of the as-prepared alloys decreases. The easy preparation method that guarantees more than 97% catalytic activity of the CoxPt100-x alloys, the easy recovery from solution, and the possibility of reusing the CoxPt100-x alloys are the benefits of the present study.

MATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2022; 15:6250.

Abstract
CoPt alloys with Pt contents from 15 to 90% were prepared using low-cost electrochemical deposition. Different samples were synthesized from electrochemical baths at pH = 2.5 and 5.5 in a solution with and without saccharin as an additive. The morphology, composition and crystalline structure of the as-prepared samples were investigated by High Resolution-Scanning Electron Microscopy (HR-SEM), Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM), Ultra-high Resolution-Transmission Electron Microscopy (UHR-TEM), Energy-Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (EDX), and X-ray Diffraction (XRD). XRD investigations revealed that fcc crystalline structure transforms into hcp crystalline structure when the pH of the electrochemical bath is increased from 2.5 to 5.5 as well as when saccharin is added to the electrochemical bath. The catalytic performance of the CoPt alloys for the nitro to amino phenol compounds conversion was investigated for all the prepared samples, and the results show that the conversion degree increases (from 11.4 to 96.5%) even though the Pt content in the samples decreases. From the samples prepared from the electrochemical bath with saccharin, a study regarding the effect of contact time was performed. The results indicated that after only 5 min, the CoPt sample prepared at pH = 5.5 in the presence of saccharin completely converted the nitro compound to an amino compound.

Abstract
A synergetic approach to enhance magnetoelectric effects (i.e., control of magnetism with voltage) and improve energy efficiency in magnetically actuated devices is presented. The investigated material consists of an ordered array of Co-Pt microdisks, in which nanoporosity and partial oxidation are introduced during the synthetic procedure to synergetically boost the effects of electric field. The microdisks are grown by electrodeposition from an electrolyte containing an amphiphilic polymeric surfactant. The bath formulation is designed to favor the incorporation of oxygen in the form of cobalt oxide. A pronounced reduction of coercivity (88%) and a remarkable increase of Kerr signal amplitude (60%) are observed at room temperature upon subjecting the microdisks to negative voltages through an electrical double layer. These large voltage-induced changes in the magnetic properties of the microdisks are due to (i) the high surface-area-to-volume ratio with ultranarrow pore walls (sub-10 nm) that promote enhanced electric charge accumulation and (ii) magneto-ionic effects, where voltage-driven O2- migration promotes a partial reduction of CoO to Co at room temperature. This simple and versatile procedure to fabricate patterned "nano-in-micro" magnetic motifs with adjustable voltage-driven magnetic properties is very appealing for energy-efficient magnetic recording systems and other magnetoelectronic devices.

Abstract
Electrodeposition from microemulsions using ionic liquids is revealed as a green method for synthesizing magnetic alloyed nanoparticles, avoiding the use of aggressive reducing agents. Microemulsions containing droplets of aqueous solution (electrolytic solution containing Pt(IV) and Co(II) ions) in an ionic liquid (bmimPF6) define nanoreactors in which the electrochemical reduction takes place. Highly crystalline hcp alloyed CoPt nanoparticles, in the 10-120 nm range with a rather narrow size distribution, have been deposited on a conductive substrate. The relative amount of aqueous solution to ionic liquid determines the size of the nanoreactors, which serve as nanotemplates for the growth of the nanoparticles and hence determine their size and distribution. Further, the stoichiometry (Pt(x)Co(1-x)) of the particles can be tuned by the composition of the electrolytic solution inside the droplets. The control of the size and composition of the particles allows tailoring the room-temperature magnetic behavior of the nanoparticles from superparaparamagnetic to hard magnetic (with a coercivity of HC = 4100 Oe) in the as-obtained state.

Abstract
A new electrochemical method to synthesize mesoporous nanowires of alloys has been developed. Electrochemical deposition in ionic liquid-in-water (IL/W) microemulsion has been successful to grow mesoporous CoPt nanowires in the interior of polycarbonate membranes. The viscosity of the medium was high, but it did not avoid the entrance of the microemulsion in the interior of the membrane’s channels. The structure of the IL/W microemulsions, with droplets of ionic liquid (4 nm average diameter) dispersed in CoPt aqueous solution, defined the structure of the nanowires, with pores of a few nanometers, because CoPt alloy deposited only from the aqueous component of the microemulsion. The electrodeposition in IL/W microemulsion allows obtaining mesoporous structures in which the small pores must correspond to the size of the droplets of the electrolytic aqueous component of the microemulsion. The IL main phase is like a template for the confined electrodeposition. The comparison of the electrocatalytic behaviours towards methanol oxidation of mesoporous and compact CoPt nanowires of the same composition, demonstrated the porosity of the material. For the same material mass, the CoPt mesoporous nanowires present a surface area 16 times greater than compact ones, and comparable to that observed for commercial carbon-supported platinum nanoparticles.
