Visible-light-driven TiO 2@Fe 2O 3/Chitosan nanocomposite with promoted photodegradation of meropenem and imipenem antibiotics by peroxymonosulfate. ENVIRONMENTAL TECHNOLOGY 2024; 45:3456-3467. [PMID: 37223907 DOI: 10.1080/09593330.2023.2218042] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/24/2022] [Accepted: 03/27/2023] [Indexed: 05/25/2023]
Abstract
This study assessed wastewater treatment by visible-light/Peroxymonosulfate process using its linking with TiO2@Fe3O4 nanoparticles coated on chitosan. Meropenem and Imipenem photodegradation was evaluated as a model-resistant contaminant by TiO2@Fe2O3/chitosan nanocomposite. The synthesised TiO2@Fe2O3/chitosan was characterised using various techniques. Fe2O3 and TiO2 nanoparticles on the chitosan surface were affirmed via XRD, EDX, and FTIR findings. The FESEM and TEM results verified the deposition of TiO2@Fe2O3 on the chitosan surface. Under optimum circumstances (pH = 4, catalyst dosage = 0.5 g/L, antibiotics concentration = 25 mg/L reaction time = 30 min, and PMS = 2 mM), maximum degradation efficiency was obtained at about 95.64 and 93.9% for Meropenem and Imipenem, respectively. Also, the experiments demonstrated that TiO2@Fe2O3/chitosan had a better performance than photolysis and adsorption by catalyst without visible light irradiation in degrading antibiotics. The scavenger tests confirmed that O 2 ⋅ - , SO 4 ⋅ - , HO ⋅ , and h+ are present simultaneously during the pollutant photodegradation process. After five recovery cycles, the system eliminated over 80 percent of antibiotics. It suggested that the catalyst's capacity to be reused may be cost-effective.

Reaction Atmosphere-Controlled Thermal Conversion of Ferrocene to Hematite and Cementite Nanomaterials-Structural and Spectroscopic Investigations. ACS OMEGA 2024; 9:22607-22618. [PMID: 38826527 PMCID: PMC11137719 DOI: 10.1021/acsomega.3c10332] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/24/2023] [Revised: 03/20/2024] [Accepted: 04/10/2024] [Indexed: 06/04/2024]
Abstract
Recently, we have reported the influence of various reaction atmospheres on the solid-state reaction kinetics of ferrocene, where oxalic acid dihydrate was used as a coprecursor. In this light, present study discusses on the nature of decomposed materials of the solid-state reactions of ferrocene in O2, air, and N2 atmospheres. The ambient and oxidative atmospheres caused the decomposition to yield pure hematite nanomaterials, whereas cementite nanomaterials along with α-Fe were obtained in N2 atmosphere. The obtained materials were mostly agglomerated. Elemental composition of each material was estimated. Using the absorbance data, the energy band gap values were estimated and the related electronic transitions from the observed absorption spectra were explored. Urbach energy was calculated for hematite, which described the role of defects in the decomposed materials. The nanostructures exhibited photoluminescence due to self-trapped states linked to their optical characteristics. Raman spectroscopy of hematite detected seven Raman modes, confirming the rhombohedral structure, whereas the D and G bands were visible in the Raman spectra for cementite. Thus, the reaction atmosphere significantly influenced the thermal decomposition of ferrocene and controls the type of nanomaterials obtained. Plausible reactions of the undergoing solid-state decomposition have been proposed.

Abstract
We report the controlled synthesis of iron oxide microcubes (IOMCs) through the self-assembly arrays of ferric oxide hydroxide nanorods (NRs). The formation of IOMCs involves a complex interplay of nucleation, self-assembly, and growth mechanisms influenced by time, thermal treatment, and surfactant dynamics. The self-assembly of vertically aligned NRs into IOMCs is controlled by dynamic magnetism properties and capping agents like cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB), whose concentration and temperature modulation dictate growth kinetics and structural uniformity. These controlled structural growths were obtained via a hydrothermal process at 120 °C at various intervals of 8, 16, 24, and 32 h in the presence of CTAB as the capping agent. In this hydrothermal method, the formation of vertically oriented NR arrays was observed without the presence of ligands, binders, harsh drying techniques, and solvent evaporation. The formation of the self-assembly of NRs to IOMCs is obtained with an increase in saturated magnetization to attain the most stable state. The synthesized IOMCs have a uniform size, quasi-shape, and excellent dispersion. Due to its excellent magnetic and catalytic properties, IOMCs were employed to remove the various emerging pollutants known as per- and polyfluorinated substances (PFAS). Various microscopic and spectroscopic techniques were employed for the characterization and interaction studies of IOMCs with various PFAS. The interaction between IOMCs and perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) was investigated, revealing strong adsorption tendencies facilitated by electrostatic interactions, as evidenced by UV-vis and FT-IR spectroscopic studies. Furthermore, the higher magnetic and positive surface charge of IOMCs is responsible for an effective remediation eliminating any secondary pollution with ease of recovery after the sorption interaction studies, thereby making it practically worthwhile.

Abstract
Herein we propose an ecofriendly process for the biofabrication of AgNPs by applying fruit waste of Citrus limetta. The aqueous extracts from the peels of the fruit were used as green chelating and stabilizing agents. Structural, optical, vibrational, morphological, and magnetic properties were established using UV-Vis (ultraviolet visible spectroscopy), XRD (X-rays diffraction), FTIR (Fourier transformed infrared spectroscopy), EDS (energy dispersive spectroscopy), SEM (scanning electron microscopy), ESR (electron spin resonance), and PPMS (physical property management system), while the thermal properties were established using TGA/DTG (thermal gravimetric analysis/derivative thermogravimetry). XRD pattern revealed intense peaks with single-phase purity, while the Debye-Scherrer approximation revealed an average crystallite size of 33.18 nm. The W-H plot revealed the size of 55.2 nm and strain 2.68 × 10-4. FTIR spectra revealed the involvement of different functional groups and major IR vibrations were observed at 2329 cm-1, 2092 cm-1, 1794 cm-1, 1268 cm-1, and 754 cm-1. TGA/DTG revealed major weight loss events at 240 °C and 360 °C. SEM revealed spherical or quasi-spherical morphology, while EDS confirmed the presence of elemental silver. The M-H behavior for all measurement temperature shows diamagnetic behavior. Electron spin resonance (ESR) revealed a high proportion of free electrons. Furthermore, the pharmacognostic and nanomedicinal potential CL-AgNPs was established using multiple in vitro and in vivo bioassays. The in vivo wound healing assays in mice revealed excellent healing potential which were similar to positive control. The percent wound healing is reported to be 93% on the 14th day of incision after application of CL-AgNPs. Bioassays were performed to assess enzyme inhibition potential of the CL-AgNPs for Alzheimer disease and antidiabetic applications. The AChE and BChE potential of the CL-AgNPs was highest at 1000 µg mL-1, i.e., 92% and 56%, respectively. The α-glucosidase inhibition potential for the CL-AgNPs was higher as compared to the α-glucosidase, while the DPPH free radical scavenging was reported to be 70% to 11% at varying concentrations between 1000 and 62.5 µg mL-1. Overall, our results indicate that the waste fruit peels can be a sustainable and eco-friendly resource of synthesis of the multifunctional nanoparticles.

Abstract
Human diseases caused by pathogenic microorganisms make people pay more attention to disinfection. Meanwhile, antibiotics can cause microbial resistance and increase the difficulty of disease treatment, resulting in risk of triggering a vicious circle. Advanced oxidation process (AOPs) has been widely studied in the field of synergistic treatment of the two contaminates. This paper reviews the application of catalytic materials and their modification strategies in the context of AOPs for disinfection and antibiotic degradation. It also delves into the mechanisms of disinfection such as the pathways for microbial inactivation and the related influencing factors, which are essential for understanding the pivotal role of catalytic materials in disinfection principles by AOPs. More importantly, the exploratory research on the combined use of AOPs for disinfection and antibiotic degradation is discussed, and the potential and prospects in this field is highlighted. Finally, the limitations and challenges associated with the application of AOPs in disinfection and antibiotic degradation are summarized. It aims to provide a starting point for future research efforts to facilitate the widespread use of advanced oxidation processes in the field of public health.

Abstract
Objective Reconstruction of alveolar bone defects resulting from aging, trauma, ablative surgery or pathology, remains a significant clinical challenge. The objective of this study was to investigate the antibacterial and antifungal activities of mixed polymethylmethacrylate-hydroxyapatite (PMMA-HA) against oral microorganisms. Our findings could provide valuable insights into the prospective application of PMMA-HA as a synthetic bone graft material to manage alveolar bone defects via tissue engineering. Methods HA powder was obtained from the Center for Ceramics in Indonesia and PMMA granules were obtained from HiMedia Laboratories; these were prepared in 20:80, 30:70, and 40:60 ratios. The antibacterial diffusion method was then performed against Staphylococcusaureus, Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans, Porphyromonas gingivalis, and Fusobacterium nucleatum, while the antifungal diffusion method was used to test against Candida albicans. Standardized protocols were used for microbial culturing and inhibition zones were measured with digital calipers. Statistical analyses included one-way ANOVA and Kruskal-Wallis tests, supplemented by post-hoc Tukey HSD tests. Results A PMMA-HA scaffold with a 20:80 ratio demonstrated the highest antibacterial activity against S. aureus, A. actinomycetemcomitans, P. gingivalis, and F. nucleatum. This was followed by the 30:70 and 40:60 ratios in terms of antibacterial activity. Statistical significance was achieved with p < 0.05 in comparison to controls. However, none of the PMMA-HA ratios showed antifungal activity against C. albicans. Conclusion PMMA-HA scaffolds have significant activity against bacteria, but not against fungi.

Abstract
Hepatic cancer is among the most recurrently detected malignancies worldwide and one of the main contributors to cancer-associated mortality. With few available therapeutic choices, there is an instant necessity to explore suitable options. In this aspect, Nanotechnology has been employed to explore prospective chemotherapeutic approaches, especially for cancer treatment. Nanotechnology is concerned with the biological and physical properties of nanoparticles in the therapeutic use of drugs. In the current work, formulation, and characterization of α-Fe2O3-Sodium Alginate-Eugenol nanocomposites (FSE NCs) using several approaches like SEM and TEM, UV-visible, FTIR, and PL spectroscopy, XRD, EDAX, and DLS studies have been performed. With an average size of 50 nm, the rhombohedral structure of NCs was identified. Further, their anticancer activity against Hep3B liver cancer cell lines has been performed by cell viability, dual staining, DCFH-DA, Annexin-V/-FITC/PI, cell cycle analysis methods, and PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling proteins were studied to assess the anticancer effects of the NCs in Hep3B cells. Also, anti-cancer activity on animal modeling in-vivo using zebra fishes to hematological parameters, liver enzymes, and histopathology study effectiveness was noticed. Moreover, the NCs reduced the viability, elevated the ROS accumulation, diminished the membrane integrity, reduced the antioxidants, blocked the cell cycle, and triggered the PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling axis that eventually resulted in cell death. As a result, FSE NCs possess huge potential for use as a possible anticancer candidate.

Abstract
Green synthesis of iron nanoparticles is a highly fascinating research area and has gained importance due to reliable, sustainable and ecofriendly protocol for synthesizing nanoparticles, along with the easy availability of plant materials and their pharmacological significance. As an alternate to physical and chemical synthesis, the biological materials, like microorganisms and plants are considered to be less costly and environment-friendly. Iron nanoparticles with diverse morphology and size have been synthesized using biological extracts. Microbial (bacteria, fungi, algae etc.) and plant extracts have been employed in green synthesis of iron nanoparticles due to the presence of various metabolites and biomolecules. Physical and biochemical properties of biologically synthesized iron nanoparticles are superior to that are synthesized using physical and chemical agents. Iron nanoparticles have magnetic property with thermal and electrical conductivity. Iron nanoparticles below a certain size (generally 10-20 nm), can exhibit a unique form of magnetism called superparamagnetism. They are non-toxic and highly dispersible with targeted delivery, which are suitable for efficient drug delivery to the target. Green synthesized iron nanoparticles have been explored for multifarious biotechnological applications. These iron nanoparticles exhibited antimicrobial and anticancerous properties. Iron nanoparticles adversely affect the cell viability, division and metabolic activity. Iron nanoparticles have been used in the purification and immobilization of various enzymes/proteins. Iron nanoparticles have shown potential in bioremediation of various organic and inorganic pollutants. This review describes various biological sources used in the green synthesis of iron nanoparticles and their potential applications in biotechnology, diagnostics and mitigation of environmental pollutants.

Abstract
The development of effective and economical technologies for the treatment of contaminated wastewater has been of great significance to researchers. Therefore, an equal molar ratio of iron and zinc oxides nanoparticles was hydrothermally immobilized on the cellulose fibers of rice husk. Using XRD, SEM, FTIR, EDX, TEM, VSM, BET, and TGA/DTG, the structure, and characteristics of Cel/α-Fe2O3-ZnO, a ternary nanocomposite, were affirmed. The nanocomposite displayed a mesoporous structure with a substantial surface area. The efficiency of nanocomposite as a new adsorbent has been studied for the extraction of reactive black 5 (RB5), which is a diazo-anionic dye from simulated wastewater. The medium's pH was the dominant factor of RB5 adsorption, and the optimal removal effectiveness was acquired at pH 2. The adsorption values of RB5 correspond to second-order kinetics. They also matched Langmuir with a maximum capacity of 99.30 mg g-1. For real industrial wastewater, Cel/α-Fe2O3-ZnO has successfully reduced a number of major pollutants, including ammonia (92.73 %), color (92.88 %), COD (91.53 %), BOD5 (84.97 %), TSS (96.27 %), TP (52.17 %) and TN (47.23 %). These results illustrate the effective application of the ternary nanocomposite in wastewater treatment.

Abstract
The textile industry’s discharges have long been regarded as severe water pollution. The photocatalytic degradation of dyes using semiconductors is one of the crucial methods. The present study efficiently used the mechanical method to synthesize Iron oxide Nanoparticles. XRD, FT-IR, UV-Vis DRS, and Raman analyses were performed to analyze the structural and optical. From the data provided by XRD and Raman data, we believed that the as-synthesized Iron oxide was pure hematite (α-Fe2O3) with a hexagonal structure. Additionally, the EDS results show that the synthesized material is pure. By adjusting specific parameters, including the dye concentration, the catalyst dosage, the pH, and the oxidizing agent such as H2O2 and K2S2O8, the degradation of eosin yellowish using Fe2O3 as a photocatalyst has been discussed. Additionally, the kinetics of eosin yellowish degradation has been studied. A study was also conducted using Fe2O3 nanoparticles attached to polyurethane polymer (PU) to investigate its photocatalytic activity on methylene blue, methyl orange, and indigo carmine. In 30 minutes, nearly 90% of the dyes had degraded. The total organic carbon (TOC) analysis confirmed this result.

Abstract
AbstractThe pure α-Fe2O3, NiFe2O4, and ZnFe2O4 were prepared by a simple modified sol–gel method. The prepared catalysts were characterized by X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscope, surface area, Zeta potential and optical techniques. The ferrite structure of samples is confirmed. The photocatalytic activity was evaluated toward Amido black 10b dye degradation under visible light at different pHs of 4, 8, and 10 for 90 min irradiation time. The photodegradation toward Amido black b10 dye reached maximum value at pH 8, and it reaches 92%, 89%, and 85% over ZnFe2O4, Fe2O3, and NiFe2O4 photocatalysts; respectively. The increased photoactivity of the ZnFe2O4 sample can also be attributed to its lower bandgap of 2 eV, the formation of the −OH-surface group. Since –OH can interact with the photoexcited holes that were originally formed on the catalyst surface, hydroxyl radicals are produced that have strong oxidizing properties. Whereas; the dye photodegradation is negligible in the case of Fe2O3, and NiFe2O4 catalysts at pH 10, due to the electrostatic repulsion between negatively charged catalyst surface and dye ions at high basic medium. While, in case of ZnFe2O4, the photodegradation reached only 40%.

Abstract
Abstractα-Fe2O3 nanoparticles were synthesized using Tabebuia aurea leaf extract by a facile approach. The signature peaks for Fe and O in the EDX spectrum verified the formation of Fe2O3 nanoparticles. Cuboidal-shaped nanoparticles were observed in the FE-SEM image. In the XRD pattern, it was observed that the peaks belong to α-Fe2O3 nanoparticles. These particles were pure and crystalline with an average particle size of 25.69 nm. The signals at 538 and 494 cm−1 in the FTIR image confirmed the formation of hematite nanoparticles. BET analysis showed a comparatively greater surface area (31.03 m2/g) than the commercial α-Fe2O3 nanoparticles, and the pores were mesoporous. XPS analysis confirmed the existence of α-Fe2O3 by showing the specific oxidation states for iron and oxygen at 710.34 and 529.67 eV, respectively. The saturation magnetization value of 13.97 emu/g confirmed the superparamagnetic nature. The TGA, which determined the thermal stability of the nanoparticles, reported a total weight loss of 12.75%. Hence, the highly crystalline, pure, mesoporous, superparamagnetic α-Fe2O3 nanoparticles with high surface area synthesized using T. aurea leaf extract can be potentially applied in diverse fields.

Abstract
Development of low-cost and economic cellulase production is among the key challenges due to its broad industrial applications. One of the main topics of research pertaining to sustainable biomass waste based biorefinaries is the development of economic cellulase production strategies. The main cause of the increase in cellulase production costs is the use of commercial substrates; as a result, the cost of any cellulase-based bioprocess can be decreased by employing a productive, low-cost substrate. The goal of the current study is to develop low-cost cellulase using the carbohydrate-rich, renewable, and widely accessible cyanobacteria algae Oscillatoria obscura as the production substrate. Maximum cellulase was produced utilising the fungus Rhizopus oryzae at substrate concentration of 7.0 g among various tested concentrations of algal biomass. Maximum production rates of 22 IU/gds FP, 105 IU/gds BGL, and 116 IU/gds EG in 72 h were possible under optimal conditions and substrate concentration. Further investigations on the crude enzyme's stability in the presence of iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs) revealed that it was thermally stable at 60 °C for up to 8 h. Additionally, the crude enzyme demonstrated pH stability by maintaining its complete activity at pH 6.0 for 8 h in the presence of the optimal dose of 15 mg IONPs. The outcomes of this research may be used to investigate the possibility of producing such enzymes in large quantities at low cost for industrial use.

Abstract
Saussurea costus is from medicinal plants and have therapeutic properties that were recorded in a variety of medical functions. The usage of biomaterials in the synthesis of nanoparticles is an essential strategy in green nanotechnology. Iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs) were composed in the stage of (2:1, FeCl2: FeCl3) solution by using the aqueous extract of Saussurea costus peel in an eco-friendly method to evaluate their antimicrobial property. The properties of the obtained IONPs were evaluated using a scanning (SEM) and transmission (TEM) electron microscope. The mean size of IONPs discovered by Zetasizer varies between 100 and 300 nm, with a mean particle size of 295 nm. The morphology of IONPs (γ-Fe2O3) was determined to be nearly spherical and prismatic-curved. Moreover, the antimicrobial property of IONPs was assessed with nine pathogenic microbes, revealing that the nanoparticles have antimicrobial activities with Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli, Shigella sp., Staphylococcus sp. and Aspergillus niger, with possible applications in the therapeutic and biomedical fields.

Abstract
'Wealth from Waste' is an emerging concept, since it leads an effective waste treatment and waste recyclability. On the other hand, cost effective production iron oxide (IO) nanomaterials is still needed to develop, owing to their wide applications. Herein, we proposed a simple direct calcination method to prepare porous IO (Fe3O4 and Fe2O3) nanomaterials from waste toner powder. Characterization techniques reveal that a structural change happened from Fe3O4 to γ-Fe2O3 and γ-Fe2O3 to α-Fe2O3 at the calcination temperature of 500 °C and 700 °C respectively. Consequently, optical (band gap) and magnetic parameters of IO samples were significantly varied. The pigment characteristics of the IO samples were evaluated using Commission Internationale de l'Eclairage (CIE) analysis. IO900 sample has shown good brown-red coloration (L* = 43.11, a* = 13.26 and b* = 5.69) and it also exhibited good stability in acidic and basic conditions. Practical applicability of IO pigments were also tested by mixing with plaster of paris (PP) powder. Further, porous IO samples were also used as catalysts in the reductive degradation of methyl orange (MO) dye in presence of excess sodium borohydride (NaBH4). IO, prepared at 900 °C exhibited ∼99.9% reduction efficiency within 40 min. Recycling experiments indicated that IO900 possess good stability up to seven cycles. The present porous IO samples will become potential in pigment and environmental remediation.

Abstract
In this paper, a novel nanocrystalline composite material of hydroxyapatite (HA)/polyvinyltrimethoxysilane (PVTMS)/iron(II)chloride tetrahydrate (Cl2FeH8-O4) with hexagonal structure is proposed for the fabrication of a gas/temperature sensor. Taking into account the sensitivity of HA to high temperatures, to prevent the collapse and breakdown of bonds and the leakage of volatiles without damaging the composite structure, a freeze-drying machine is designed and fabricated. X-ray diffraction, FTIR, SEM, EDAX, TEM, absorption and photoluminescence analyses of composite are studied. XRD is used to confirm the material structure and the crystallite size of the composite is calculated by the Monshi-Scherrer method, and a value of 81.60 ± 0.06 nm is obtained. The influence of the oxygen environment on the absorption and photoluminescence measurements of the composite and the influence of vaporized ethanol, N2 and CO on the SiO2/composite/Ag sensor device are investigated. The sensor with a 30 nm-thick layer of composite shows the highest response to vaporized ethanol, N2 and ambient CO. Overall, the composite and sensor exhibit a good selectivity to oxygen, vaporized ethanol, N2 and CO environments.

Abstract
The goal of this study is to fabricate bioinspired metal oxide nanocubes from lemon peel extract in an environmentally friendly manner and evaluate its impact on environmental remediation. In neutral pH, the degradation kinetics of methylene blue dye (MB) in the aqueous phase was investigated using iron oxide nanoparticles as a catalyst. The obtained results revealed that under optimum conditions, synthesized Fe2O3 nanoparticles (IONPs) offered ultrafast dark Fenton-like reaction to degrade MB. The size, morphological structures, and stability were confirmed through dynamic light scattering, field emission scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, and ζ potential analysis. The overall environmental impact of the process was assessed by growing wheat plants with treated wastewater and evaluating their biochemical attributes. Antibacterial activity was investigated against Gram-positive (Bacillus megaterium, Bacillus subtilis) and Gram-negative (Escherichia coli, Salmonella typhimurium) aerobics and Gram-positive cocci (Staphylococcus aureus). The antifungal activity was measured against Fusarium solani by spore germination inhibition and zone inhibition of fungal pathogens for different nanocube concentrations.

Abstract
In the last few years, the progress made in the field of nanotechnology has allowed researchers to develop and synthesize nanosized materials with unique physicochemical characteristics, suitable for various biomedical applications. Amongst these nanomaterials, metal oxide nanoparticles (MONPs) have gained increasing interest due to their excellent properties, which to a great extent differ from their bulk counterpart. However, despite such positive advantages, a substantial body of literature reports on their cytotoxic effects, which are directly correlated to the nanoparticles' physicochemical properties, therefore, better control over the synthetic parameters will not only lead to favorable surface characteristics but may also increase biocompatibility and consequently lower cytotoxicity. Taking into consideration the enormous biomedical potential of MONPs, the present review will discuss the most recent developments in this field referring mainly to synthesis methods, physical and chemical characterization and biological effects, including the pro-regenerative and antitumor potentials as well as antibacterial activity. Moreover, the last section of the review will tackle the pressing issue of the toxic effects of MONPs on various tissues/organs and cell lines.

MHD flow of time-fractional Casson nanofluid using generalized Fourier and Fick's laws over an inclined channel with applications of gold nanoparticles. Sci Rep 2022; 12:17364.

Abstract
Gold nanoparticles are commonly used as a tracer in laboratories. They are biocompatible and can transport heat energy to tumor cells via a variety of clinical techniques. As cancer cells are tiny, properly sized nanoparticles were introduced into the circulation for invasion. As a result, gold nanoparticles are highly effective. Therefore, the current research investigates the magnetohydrodynamic free convection flow of Casson nanofluid in an inclined channel. The blood is considered as a base fluid, and gold nanoparticles are assumed to be uniformly dispersed in it. The above flow regime is formulated in terms of partial differential equations. The system of derived equations with imposed boundary conditions is non-dimensionalized using appropriate dimensionless variables. Fourier's and Fick's laws are used to fractionalize the classical dimensionless model. The Laplace and Fourier sine transformations with a new transformation are used for the closed-form solutions of the considered problem. Finally, the results are expressed in terms of a specific function known as the Mittag-Leffler function. Various figures and tables present the effect of various physical parameters on the achieved results. Graphical results conclude that the fractional Casson fluid model described a more realistic aspect of the fluid velocity profile, temperature, and concentration profile than the classical Casson fluid model. The heat transfer rate and Sherwood number are calculated and presented in tabular form. It is worth noting that increasing the volume percentage of gold nanoparticles from 0 to 0.04 percent resulted in an increase of up to 3.825% in the heat transfer rate.

Abstract
Antibacterial resistance is observed as a public health issue around the world. Every day, new resistance mechanisms appear and spread over the world. For that reason, it is imperative to improve the treatment schemes that have been developed to treat infections caused by wound infections, for instance, Staphylococcus epidermidis (S. epidermidis), Proteus mirabilis (P. mirabilis), and Acinetobacter baumannii (A. baumannii). In this case, we proposed a method that involves mixing the Gentamicin (Gen) with iron oxide nanoparticles (Fe3O4 NPs) and a polymer (polyethylene glycol (PEG)) with Fe3O4 NPs. X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), energy dispersive X-ray (EDX), scanning electron microscope (SEM), and transmission electron microscope (TEM) were used to characterize Fe3O4 NPs. Zeta potential and dynamic light scattering (DLS) were also assessed. The antibacterial activity of Fe3O4 NPs, Fe3O4 NPs+PEG, Fe3O4 NPs+Gen, and Fe3O4 NPs+PEG+Gen composites was investigated. The results showed a significant improvement in the antibacterial activity of nanoparticles against bacterial isolates, especially for the Fe3O4 NPs+PEG+Gen as the diameter of the inhibition zone reached 26.33 ± 0.57 mm for A. baumannii, 25.66 ± 0.57 mm for P. mirabilis, and 23.66 ± 0.57 mm for S. epidermidis. The Fe3O4 NPs, Fe3O4 NPs+PEG, Fe3O4+Gen, and Fe3O4+PEG+Gen also showed effectiveness against the biofilm produced by these isolated bacteria. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of Fe3O4 NPs for S. epidermidis was 25 µg mL−1 and for P. mirabilis and A. baumannii was 50 µg mL−1. The findings suggest that the prepared nanoparticles could be potential therapeutic options for treating wound infections caused by S. epidermidis, P. mirabilis, and A. baumannii.

Abstract
Algal biomass synthesised nanocomposites have a higher surface area and reusability advantages. This study aimed to synthesise and characterise ZnMgO and silica-supported graphene with ZnMgO (G-ZnMgO) nanocomposites from Kappaphycusalvarezii and evaluate their potential in the application of photocatalysis to remove Rhodamine-B (RhB) and methylene blue (MB) dyes from their aqueous medium by maximising the percentage removal using response surface methodology (RSM) modelling. Nanocomposites were synthesised and characterised by biogenic and instrumental (Powder X-ray diffraction (P-XRD), electron microscopic analysis (SEM and TEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), Energy dispersive analysis of X-rays (EDAX). and UV-visible diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (UV-DRS)) methods, respectively; modelling predicted the optimal conditions to be photocatalyst dosage and contact time of 1 g/L and 90 min, respectively, to obtain maximum MB dye removal of 80% using G-ZnMgO. The results showed the best fit between experimental and RSM predicted values. Thus, the obtained results conclude that the algal biomass synthesised nanocomposites were found to be one of the potential photocatalysts for the removal of RhB and MB dyes from their aqueous solution.

Abstract
Iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs) are increasingly being employed for in vivo biomedical nanotheranostic applications. The development of novel IONPs should be accompanied by careful scrutiny of their biocompatibility. Herein, we studied the effect of administration of three formulations of IONPs, based on their starting materials along with synthesizing methods, IONPs-chloride, IONPs-lactate, and IONPs-nitrate, on biochemical and ultrastructural aspects. Different techniques were utilized to assess the effect of different starting materials on the physical, morphological, chemical, surface area, magnetic, and particle size distribution accompanied with their surface charge properties. Their nanoscale sizes were below 40 nm and demonstrated surface up to 69m2/g, and increased magnetization of 71.273 emu/g. Moreover, we investigated the effects of an oral IONP administration (100 mg/kg/day) in rat for 14 days. The liver enzymatic functions were investigated. Liver and brain tissues were analyzed for oxidative stress. Finally, a transmission electron microscope (TEM) and inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometer (ICP-OES) were employed to investigate the ultrastructural alterations and to estimate content of iron in the selected tissues of IONP-exposed rats. This study showed that magnetite IONPs-chloride exhibited the safest toxicological profile and thus could be regarded as a promising nanotherapeutic candidate for brain or liver disorders.

Photocatalytic Dye Degradation and Bio-Insights of Honey-Produced α-Fe2O3 Nanoparticles. WATER 2022. [DOI: 10.3390/w14152301] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 12/19/2022]
Abstract
Iron oxide nanoparticles are produced using simple auto combustion methods with honey as a metal-stabilizing and -reducing agent. Herein, α-Fe2O3 nanoparticles are produced using an iron nitrate precursor. These prepared samples are analyzed by an X-ray diffractometer (XRD), FTIR spectroscopy, UV-DRS, and a field-emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM) combined with energy-dispersive spectroscopy and a vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM). The XRD results confirm a rhombohedral structure with an R3c¯ space group single-phase formation of α-Fe2O3 in all samples. FESEM images reveal the different morphologies for the entire three samples. TEM analysis exhibits spherical shapes and their distribution on the surfaces. XPS spectroscopy confirms the Fe-2p and O-1s state and their valency. The VSM study shows strong ferromagnetic behavior. The prepared α-Fe2O3 nanoparticles exhibit exceptional charge carriers and radical production. The prepared sample retains excellent photocatalytic, antifungal and antibacterial activity.

Abstract
Iron oxide nanoparticles were synthesized starting from two aqueous extracts based on Artemisia absinthium L. leaf and stems, employing a simplest, eco-friendliness and low toxicity method—green synthesis. The nanoparticles were characterized by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transformed infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray fluorescence analysis (XRF), thermal analysis (TG/DSC), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Lack of magnetic properties and the reddish-brown color of all the samples confirms the presence of hematite as majority phase. The FTIR bands located at 435 cm−1 and 590 cm−1, are assigned to Fe-O stretching vibration from hematite, confirming the formation of α-Fe2O3 nanoparticles (NPs). The in vitro screening of the samples revealed that the healthy cell line (HaCaT) presents a good viability (above 80%) after exposure to iron oxide NPs and lack of apoptotic features, while the tumorigenic cell lines manifested a higher sensitivity, especially the melanoma cells (A375) when exposed to concentration of 500 µg/mL iron oxide NPs for 72 h. Moreover, A375 cells elicited significant apoptotic markers under these parameters (concentration of 500 µg/mL iron oxide NPs for a contact time of 72 h).

Abstract
Interest in nanomaterials and especially nanoparticles has exploded in the past decades primarily due to their novel or enhanced physical and chemical properties compared to bulk material. These extraordinary properties have created a multitude of innovative applications in the fields of medicine and pharma, electronics, agriculture, chemical catalysis, food industry, and many others. More recently, nanoparticles are also being synthesized ‘biologically’ through the use of plant- or microorganism-mediated processes, as an environmentally friendly alternative to the expensive, energy-intensive, and potentially toxic physical and chemical synthesis methods. This transdisciplinary approach to nanoparticle synthesis requires that biologists and biotechnologists understand and learn to use the complex methodology needed to properly characterize these processes. This review targets a bio-oriented audience and summarizes the physico–chemical properties of nanoparticles, and methods used for their characterization. It highlights why nanomaterials are different compared to micro- or bulk materials. We try to provide a comprehensive overview of the different classes of nanoparticles and their novel or enhanced physicochemical properties including mechanical, thermal, magnetic, electronic, optical, and catalytic properties. A comprehensive list of the common methods and techniques used for the characterization and analysis of these properties is presented together with a large list of examples for biogenic nanoparticles that have been previously synthesized and characterized, including their application in the fields of medicine, electronics, agriculture, and food production. We hope that this makes the many different methods more accessible to the readers, and to help with identifying the proper methodology for any given nanoscience problem.

Abstract
The majority of recent studies have focused on obtaining MRI materials for internal use. However, this study focuses on a straightforward method for preparing gelatin-based materials with iron oxide nanoparticles (G–Fe2O3 and G–Fe3O4) for external use. The newly obtained materials must be precisely tuned to match the requirements and usage situation because they will be in close touch with human/animal skin. The biocompatible structures formed by gelatin, tannic acid, and iron oxide nanoparticles were investigated by using FTIR spectroscopy, SEM-EDAX analysis, and contact angle methods. The physico-chemical properties were obtained by using mechanical investigations, dynamic vapor sorption analysis, and bulk magnetic determination. The size and shape of iron oxide nanoparticles dictates the magnetic behavior of the gelatin-based samples. The magnetization curves revealed a typical S-shaped superparamagnetic behavior which is evidence of improved MRI image accuracy. In addition, the MTT assay was used to demonstrate the non-toxicity of the samples, and the antibacterial test confirmed satisfactory findings for all G-based materials.

Abstract
Iron oxide nanoparticles, especially hematite (α-Fe2O3) and magnetite (Fe3O4) have attained substantial research interest in various applications of green and sustainable energy harnessing owing to their exceptional opto-magneto-electrical characteristics and non-toxicity. In this study, we synthesized high-purity hematite and magnetite nanoparticles from a facile top-down approach by employing a high-energy ball mill followed by ultrasonication. A systematic investigation was then carried out to explore the structural, morphological, thermal, optoelectrical, and magnetic properties of the synthesized samples. The experimental results from scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction corroborated the formation of highly crystalline hematite and magnetite nanoparticles with average sizes of ~80 nm and ~50 nm, respectively. Thermogravimetric analysis revealed remarkable results on the thermal stability of the newly synthesized samples. The optical studies confirmed the formation of a single-phase compound with the bandgaps dependent on the size of the nanoparticles. The electrochemical studies that utilized cyclic voltammetry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy techniques verified these iron oxide nanoparticles as electroactive species which can enhance the charge transfer process with high mobility. The hysteresis curves of the samples revealed the paramagnetic behavior of the samples with high values of coercivity. Thus, these optimized materials can be recommended for use in future optoelectronic devices and can prove to be potential candidates in the advanced research of new optoelectronic materials for improved energy devices.

Abstract
The leaf extract of Muntingia calabura is being first reported to be used for the synthesis superparamagnetic hematite nanoparticles by following the green-chemistry approach. Field Emission - Scanning Electron Microscopic image revealed the formation of irregular nano spheroids averaging at 48.57 nm in size and characteristic of Fe and O atoms, as revealed by Energy Dispersive X-Ray spectrum. X-ray diffraction analysis results proved the crystallinity of hematite diffraction planes with crystallite sizes averaging at 30.68 nm. The lattice parameter values stayed concordant with the literature. The superparamagnetic nature was attested by the high value of saturation magnetism (2.20 emu/g) with negligible coercivity and retentivity. Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy results affirmed numerous moieties involved in the synthesis of hematite nanoparticles and the existence of signature Fe-O bands. Thermogravimetric analysis studies portrayed the thermal behavior nanoparticles with 28% weight loss and thermal stability was attained after 700 °C. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analysis confirmed the valence states of Fe and O in the hematite nanoparticles and ascertained the purity. The mesoscopic structure was revealed by Brunauer-Emmett-Teller studies with considerable surface area (112.50 m2/g). The Fenton-like catalysis mediated by the nanoparticle sample was demonstrated by degrading methylene blue dye. The remarkable degradation efficiency of 93.44% was obtained and the kinetics was conformed to a second-order model with a high R2 value. Therefore, the highly crystalline and mesoporous superparamagnetic hematite spheroids prepared using the leaf extract of M. calabura would find promising applications in various catalysis processes.

Abstract
In this research work, a hematite (α-Fe2O3) nanoparticle was prepared and then mixed with oxidized multi-walled carbon nanotubes (O-MWCNT) to form a stable suspension of an α-Fe2O3/O-MWCNTs nanocomposite. Different characterization techniques were used to explore the chemical and physical properties of the α-Fe2O3/O-MWCNTs nanocomposite, including XRD, FT-IR, UV-Vis, and SEM. The results revealed the successful formation of the α-Fe2O3 nanoparticles, and the oxidation of the MWCNT, as well as the formation of stable α-Fe2O3/O-MWCNTs nanocomposite. The electrochemical behaviour of the α-Fe2O3/O-MWCNTs nanocomposite was investigated using cyclic voltammetry (CV) and linear sweep voltammetry (LSV), and the results revealed that modification of α-Fe2O3 nanoparticles with O-MWCNTs greatly enhanced electrochemical performance and capacitive behaviour, as well as cycling stability.

Abstract
Inorganic nanoparticles, such as CeO3, TiO2 and Fe3O4 could be served as a platform for their excellent performance in antioxidant effect. They may offer the feasibility to be further developed for their smaller and controllable sizes, flexibility to be modified, relative low toxicity as well as ease of preparation. In this work, the recent progress of these nanoparticles were illustrated, and the antioxidant mechanism of the inorganic nanoparticles were introduced, which mainly included antioxidant enzyme-mimetic activity and antioxidant ROS/RNS scavenging activity. The antioxidant effects and the applications of several nanoparticles, such as CeO3, Fe3O4, TiO2 and Se, are summarized in this paper. The potential toxicity of these nanoparticles both in vitro and in vivo was well studied for the further applications. Future directions of how to utilize these inorganic nanoparticles to be further applied in some fields, such as medicine, cosmetic and functional food additives were also investigated in this paper.

Abstract
Eco-friendly energy harvesting from the surrounding environment has been triggered extensive researching enthusiasm due to the threat of global energy crisis and environmental pollutions. By the conversion of mechanical energy that is omnipresent in our environment into electrical energy, triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) can potentially power up small electronic devices, serves as a self-powered detectors and predominantly, it can minimize the energy crisis by credibly saving the traditional non-renewable energy. In this study, we present a novel bio-based TENG comprising PDMS/α-Fe2O3 nanocomposite film and a processed human hair-based film, that harvests the vibrating energy and solar energy simultaneously by the integration of triboelectric technology and photoelectric conversion techniques. Upon illumination, the output voltage and current signals rapidly increased by 1.4 times approximately, compared to the dark state. Experimental results reveal that the photo-induced enhancement appears due to the effective charge separation depending on the photosensitivity of the hematite nanoparticles (α-Fe2O3 nanoparticles) over the near ultraviolet (UV), visible and near infrared (IR) regions. Our work provides a new approach towards the self-powered photo-detection, while developing a propitious green energy resource for the circular bio-economy.

Abstract
The post-synthetic exchange (PSE) method is a well-proven route to replace, modify, and add different functionalities to metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). Particularly, the solvent-assisted cation substitution (SACS) technique has been reported to prepare mixed-metal multivariate metal-organic frameworks (MTV-MOFs). However, such a technique does not apply to all types of MOFs. In 2013, Szilágyi et al. reported the achievement of the mixed-metal MTV-MIL-101 framework via PSE. Since then, a debate has been taking place about the validity of these findings. On the other hand, the attainment of the mixed-metal MIL-101 was reported to be obtainable through the direct synthesis, which is, to some, the only way to achieve it. Here, we settle this dispute by investigating Szilágyi's method not only as described, but also at extended conditions of time and different metal precursors: all attempts were vain. However, by reconsidering the refluxing solvent (dimethylformamide "DMF" instead of water) and the applied reaction conditions (110 °C-20 h), mixed-metal MIL-101(Cr/Fe) was achieved via a simple PSE method.

Abstract
Due to the widespread usage of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) in various consumer and industrial products (Examples: fuel cells and antibacterial agents), it became important to accurately detect H2O2 concentration in environmental, medical and food samples. Herein, titanium carbide Ti3C2Tx (MXene) was synthesized by using Ti, Al and C powders at high-temperature. Then, nanocrystalline iron oxide (α-Fe2O3) was obtained from a single solid-phase method. Using Ti3C2Tx and Fe2O3 powders, Ti3C2Tx-Fe2O3 nanocomposite was prepared by ultrasonication. As-synthesized, Ti3C2Tx-Fe2O3 composite had been characterized by UV-Visible (UV-Vis), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Raman spectroscopy. The Fe2O3 nanoparticles (NPs) were decorated on the surface of Ti3C2Tx as observed by high resolution scanning electron microscopy (HR-SEM) and high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HR-TEM). The Ti3C2Tx nanosheets were formed with the average size of 400-500 nm. HR-SEM images of α-Fe2O3 showed that the coral-like particles with the average length ~5 μm were obtained. The electrochemical properties of the individual (Ti3C2Tx and α-Fe2O3) and composite materials (Ti3C2Tx-Fe2O3) were investigated by cyclic voltammetry (CV). Ti3C2Tx-Fe2O3 nanocomposite modified electrode had exhibited potent electro-catalytic activity for H2O2 reduction by reducing the overpotential about 320 mV and a linear response was recorded from 10 nM to 1 μM H2O2. The optimization of various parameters such as material composition ratio, amount of catalyst, effects of pH, scan rate and interference effects with other biomolecules were carried out. In addition, the kinetic parameters such as rate constant, diffusion coefficient and the active surface area of the electrodes were calculated. Moreover, the Ti3C2Tx-Fe2O3 composite modified electrode was used successfully to detect H2O2 in food and urine samples. We believe that Ti3C2Tx-Fe2O3 composite based materials could be used for the fabrication of non-enzymatic H2O2 sensors for medical diagnosis, food safety and environmental monitoring applications.

Abstract
Synthesis of nanomaterials following green routes have drawn much attention in recent years due to the low cost, easy and eco-friendly approaches involved therein. Therefore, the current study is focused towards the synthesis of Fe3O4/α-Fe2O3 nanocomposite using waste pulp of Jamun (Syzygium cumini) and iron nitrate as the precursor of iron in an eco-friendly way. The synthesized Fe3O4/α-Fe2O3 nanocomposite has been extensively characterized through numerous techniques to explore the physicochemical properties, including X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, Ultraviolet-Vis spectroscopy, field emission scanning electron microscope, high resolution transmission electron microscope and vibrating sample magnetometer. Further, efficiency of the Fe3O4/α-Fe2O3 nanocomposite has been evaluated to improve the incubation temperature, thermal/pH stability of the crude cellulase enzymes obtained from the lab isolate fungal strain Cladosporium cladosporioides NS2 via solid state fermentation. It is found that the presence of 0.5% Fe3O4/α-Fe2O3 nanocomposite showed optimum incubation temperature and thermal stability in the long temperature range of 50–60 °C for 15 h along with improved pH stability in the range of pH 3.5–6.0. The presented study may have potential application in bioconversion of waste biomass at high temperature and broad pH range.

Abstract
Dyes and phenols are extensively used chemicals in petrochemicals, pharmaceuticals, textile, and paints industries. Due to high persistence, bioaccumulation, and toxicity, their removal from the environment is highly imperative by advanced techniques. Single metal oxide nanomaterials are generally associated with limitations of large bandgap (> 3eV) and charge recombination. Therefore, heterometallic oxides (HMOs) as CuFe2O4, CuMn2O4, and MnZn2O4 have been synthesized via green route by employing leaf extract of Azadirachta indica. XRD revealed the crystalline nature of HMOs nanospheres with particle size less than 100 nm. Subsequently, HMOs nanocatalysts were used as photocatalyst for removal of 3-amino phenols (3-AP) and eriochrome black T (EBT) from water under sunlight. Reaction parameters namely pollutant concentration (50-130 mgL-1), catalyst dose (20-100 mg), and pH (3-11) were optimized in order to get best results. Substantial degradation (80-95%) of pollutants (50 mgL-1) by HMOs (80 mg) was achieved at neutral pH under sunlight exposure. Highest removal by CuFe2O4 might be due to its high surface area (35.7 m2g-1), low band gap (2.4 eV), larger particle stability (Zeta potential: -22.0 mV), and lower photoluminescence intensity. Sharp declines in curves were visually confirmed by color change and indicated for first-order kinetics of degradation with initial Langmuir adsorption. Spectrophotometric analysis revealed that half-life (t1/2) of 3-AP (0.9-1.7 h) and EBT (0.6-0.8 h) were significantly reduced. Faster degradation of EBT than 3-AP was because of less electronegative N-atom at the diazo group. Scavenger analysis indicated the presence of active radicals in photo-catalytic degradation of 3-AP and EBT. All HMOs have shown high reusability (n=8) which ensures their stability, sustainability, and efficiency. Overall, green synthesized HMOs nanoparticles with prominent surface characteristics offer a viable alternative photocatalyst for industrial applications.

Abstract
This work reports an environmentally benign and readily scalable process for production of akaganéite (β-FeOOH) nanocomposites by using abundant gallic acid or grape seed tannins and urea. Influences from those phytochemicals on the properties of β-FeOOH nanocomposites were investigated by X-ray powder diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, Thermogravimetric analysis, Scanning electron microscopy, Transmission electron microscopy, UV-Vis spectroscopy and Photoluminescence. The addition of 0.1% (w/v) grape seed tannins or gallic acid (640 mg L-1) solution yielded single-crystalline β-FeOOH nanocomposites with reduced dimensions, increased porosities and BET surface area, and no oxidized impurities such as hematite (Fe2O3) were formed. The added grape seed tannins (S0.8) or gallic acid together with less urea (0.8 M) produced β-FeOOH nanocomposites with higher activities as peroxidase mimics compared to those prepared with only urea (C0.8). Moreover, S0.8 was more efficient in methylene blue (MB) discoloration compared to C0.8 at all three pH values of 4, 7 and 11, and the S0.8-mediated MB degradation pathways at pH 4 and 7 were different from those at pH 11 due to the generation of different predominant oxidants. The overall MB discoloration efficacies by S0.8 at pH 4, 7 and 11 were combinative effects of both physical adsorption and chemical reactions. These β-FeOOH nanocomposites possess great potential as peroxidase mimics for facile monitoring of excess hydrogen peroxide and applications in environmental remediation.

Abstract
A novel strategy was described to fabricate hematite-MOF materials with morphologies (core-shell) and (composite) as an efficient peroxymonosulfate (PMS) activator for degrading ciprofloxacin (CIP) antibiotics. First, α-Fe2O3 nanoparticles (NPs) with a size distribution range of 80 nm were prepared by surfactant-assisted reflux method. Then, cobalt-based metal-organic framework (ZIF-67) was grown onto the α-Fe2O3 NPs with ultrasonic and solvothermal method, which can control the nanostructures morphology. The physicochemical properties of these nanostructures were probed by ATR-IR, WA-XRD, FESEM, VSM, TEM, and EDS spectroscopy. The results showed that all the added CIP (20 ppm) antibiotics were completely degraded in 30 min in the α-Fe2O3/ZIF-67 (0.10 g/L) and PMS (0.20 g/L) system with rate constant of 0.130 min-1. To validate the merits of the α-Fe2O3/ZIF-67, α-Fe2O3@ZIF-67 core-shell nanostructures were also applied under similar conditions. The findings demonstrated that Co/Fe species within α-Fe2O3/ZIF-67 composite catalyzed PMS synergistically to the formation of the OH and SO4- and 1O2 for CIP degradation. Furthermore, α-Fe2O3/ZIF-67 showed good recyclability enabling facile separation of the catalyst from reaction mixtures using an external magnet. The current protocol can be a useful criterion in designing various Magnetic-MOF composites with controlled morphologies for environmental remediation.
