Core shell Ag@SiO2 -Streptavidin- Cy3 nanoparticles were prepared. Ag@SiO2 nanoparticles were synthesized via a sol–gel method. Then, Streptavidin- Cy3 was covalently bonded to the Ag@SiO2 surface. These core-shell nanoparticles were characterized by steady-state fluorescence spectroscopy and fluorescence scanning. In presence of the silver core, a 2.5-time enhancement of Cy3 fluorescence intensity was obtained. This result shows that these nanoparticles can be potentially helpful in surface analysis based on biochip.

Chemically synthesized FePt nanoparticles were coated with nonmagnetic SiO2 and MnO shells by sol–gel and polyol processes. TEM images show that the FePt/SiO2 nanoparticles exhibit a thick spherical shell. The size and morphology of the MnO shell can be controlled by changing the reaction temperature, the molar ratio of surfactants/Mn(acac)2, and/or the concentration of precursor. The morphology of the MnO shell can be either spherical-like or cubic-like, depending on whether the molar ratio of surfactants/Mn(acac)2 is less than or larger than 2. From XRD measurements, the spherical core/shell nanoparticles exhibit 3D random crystallographic orientation, while the cubic core/shell nanoparticles prefer (200) texture. The magnetic moment of FePt particles can be enhanced by coating with SiO2 and MnO shells. Furthermore, the agglomeration of FePt particles upon the thermal annealing can be significantly inhibited with SiO2 and MnO shells.

Fe3O4/SiO2/TiO2core-shell nanoparticles were synthesized via a sol-gel method with the aid of sonication. Fe3O4nanoparticles were being encapsulated within discrete silica nanospheres, and a layer of TiO2shell was then coated directly onto each silica nanosphere. As-synthesized Fe3O4/SiO2/TiO2core-shell nanoparticles showed enhanced photocatalytic properties as evidenced by the enhanced photodegradation of methylene blue under UV light irradiation.

Nanostructured noble metal-semiconductor materials have been attracting increasing attention because of their broad application in the field of environmental remediation, sensing and photocatalysis. In this study, a facile approach for fabricating silver@mesoporousanataseTiO2 (Ag@mTiO2) core-shell nanoparticles employing sol-gel and hydrothermal reaction is demonstrated. The Ag@mTiO2nanoparticles display excellent surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) sensitivity and they can detect the methylene blue (MB) molecules with the concentration of as low as 10−8 M. They also exhibit outstanding photocatalytic activity compared with mTiO2, due to the efficient separation and recombination restrain of electron–hole pairs under ultraviolet light. The Ag@mTiO2nanoparticles also present good stability and they can achieve recyclable photocatalytic degradation experiments for five times without loss of activity. Subsequently, the nanoparticles with dual functions were successfully used to in situ monitor the photodegradation process of MB aqueous solution. These results, demonstrating the multifunctional Ag@mTiO2 nanoparticles, hold promising applications for simultaneous SERS analysis and the removal of dye pollutants in environmental field.

TiO2/SiO2/Fe3O4(TSF) core-shell nanoparticles with good photocatalytic activity that are capable of fast magnetic separation have been successfully prepared by chemical coprecipitation and two-step sol-gel process. The as-prepared TSF nanoparticles were calcined at high temperature in order to transform the amorphous titanium dioxide into a photoactive crystalline phase. The calcined nanoparticles are composed of a Fe3O4core with a strong response to external magnetic fields, a SiO2intermediary layer, and a TiO2outshell. Vibration sample magnetometer (VSM) analysis confirms the superparamagnetism of calcined nanoparticles, which can enhance the recoverable properties of the novel photocatalyst. When the TiO2/SiO2/Fe3O4core-shell nanoparticles are added to the crude oily wastewater, they exhibit high photocatalytic activity in the degradation of crude oily wastewater. The oil concentration could be reduced to lower than 30 ppm within 20 minutes for the case of initial oil concentration less than 350 ppm. It has been found that the TSF nanoparticles could be easily separated from the wastewater and withdrawn by using an external magnetic field. The recovered TSF nanoparticles possess high efficiency in the degradation of crude oily wastewater even after three times successive reuse. The present results indicate that TSF core-shell nanoparticles possess great application perspectives in the degradation of crude oily wastewater.

AbstractScintillating nanoparticles with a SiO2 core and a Gd2O3 shell doped with Eu3+ were synthesized with a sol-gel process. Based on transmission electron microscopy (TEM) data, a ∼13 nm Gd2O3 shell was successfully coated onto ∼220 nm mono-dispersed SiO2 nanocores. Eu3+ ions at concentrations of nominally 5 at% exhibited photoluminescent (PL) emission from the SiO2/Gd2O3 nanoparticles after being calcined at 800 0C for 2 h. The SiO2 remained amorphous after calcining, while the Gd2O3 crystallized to a cubic structure. The PL emission was from the 5D0-7F2 transitions of Eu3+ at 609 and 622 nm. Photoluminescence excitation (PLE) data showed that emission from Eu3+ could result from direct excitation, but was dominated by the oxygen to europium charge-transfer band (CTB) between 250 and 280 nm for Eu3+ doped in Gd2O3. The quantum yield (QY) from thin films drop cast from a mixture of 20 mg of calcined nanoparticles in 500 μL of polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) and excited in the CTB was 20% for SiO2/Gd2O3:Eu3+ core/shell scintillation nanoparticles. Finally, the above core/shell nanoparticles were passivated with a shell of SiO2 to create e.g. SiO2/Gd2O3:Eu3+/SiO2 nanoparticles. The QYs for this nanostructure were lower than unpassivated nanoparticles which was attributed to a weak CTB for the amorphous SiO2 shell and a higher density of interface quenching sites.
