Unusual Nanoparticle Structures from the Silica Sol–Gel-Mediated Self-Assembly of a Prussian-Blue Analogue and the Formation of Templated Graphite Regions
The integrated, highly crystalline and water stable Prussian blue analogue films were successfully fabricated on the porous α-Al2O3, the conducting ITO and the flexible non-woven fabric substrates, respectively, using the self-assembly approach.
Fluorescent molecularly imprinted polymer (FMIP) gains great attention in many fields due to their low cost, good biocompatibility and low toxicity. Here, a high-performance FMIP was prepared based on the autocatalytic silica sol–gel reaction.
The collective magnetic behavior of photoswitchable 11 nm cyanide-bridged nanoparticles based of the Prussian blue analogue CsCoFe were investigated when embedded in two different matrices with different concentrations. The effect of the intensity of light irradiation was studied in the less concentrated sample. Magnetization studies and alternating magnetic susceptibility data are consistent with a collective magnetic behavior due to interparticle dipolar magnetic interaction for the two compounds, even though the objects have a size that place them in the superparamagnetic regime.
