The magnetic Fe3O4@SiO2nanoparticles (NPs) functionalized with 8-chloroacetylaminoquinoline as a fluorescent sensor for detection and removal of Zn2+have been synthesized. The core-shell structures of the nanoparticles and chemical composition have been confirmed by TEM, XRD, FTIR, and XPS techniques. The addition of functionalized Fe3O4@SiO2NPs into the acetonitrile solution of Zn2+had an effect of visual color change as well as significant fluorescent enhancement. High-saturated magnetizations (24.7 emu/g) of functionalized Fe3O4@SiO2NPs could help to separate the metal ions from the aqueous solution. The magnetic sensor exhibited high removal efficiency towards Zn2+(92.37%). In this work, we provided an easy and efficient route to detect Zn2+and simultaneously remove Zn2+.

Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) is a powerful tool in charge transfer (CT) process research. By analyzing the relative intensity of the characteristic bands in the bridging molecules, one can obtain detailed information about the CT between two materials. Herein, we synthesized a series of Au nanorods (NRs) with different length-to-diameter ratios (L/Ds) and used these Au NRs to prepare a series of core–shell structures with the same Cu2O thicknesses to form Au NR–4-mercaptobenzoic acid (MBA)@Cu2O core–shell structures. Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) absorption bands were adjusted by tuning the L/Ds of Au NR cores in these assemblies. SERS spectra of the core-shell structure were obtained under 633 and 785 nm laser excitations, and on the basis of the differences in the relative band strengths of these SERS spectra detected with the as-synthesized assemblies, we calculated the CT degree of the core–shell structure. We explored whether the Cu2O conduction band and valence band position and the SPR absorption band position together affect the CT process in the core–shell structure. In this work, we found that the specific surface area of the Au NRs could influence the CT process in Au NR–MBA@Cu2O core–shell structures, which has rarely been discussed before.

A facile and green method was utilized to synthesize core-shelled Zn / ZnO microspheres by boiling Zn microparticles in water for improving the photocatalytic activity of ZnO . The synthesized Zn / ZnO core-shells were investigated by means of scanning electron microscope, X-ray diffractometer and photoluminescence spectrometer, respectively. The morphology analysis showed that the metallic Zn core was about 6 μm in diameter while the ZnO shell was about 600 nm in thickness. Compared to ZnO nanoparticles, the core-shelled Zn / ZnO microspheres exhibited improved photocatalytic activity in degrading methyl orange in water. Our results suggest that the metal–semiconductor junction formed at the Zn / ZnO interface is responsible for the enhanced photocatalytic activity of ZnO .

Nanotechnology is the understanding and control f matter at dimensions of roughly 1 – 100 nm. At the nanoscale, the properties like electrical conductivity and mechanical strength are not the same as the materials with particles in dimensions much more than 100 nm. The electronic structure changes dramatically too. Between nanomaterials, there is recently a great number of works that investing as the synthesis as the properties of the magnetic nanoparticles. The interest in these materials is due to its magnetic applications. Some of more representative magnetic materials are the metallic oxides, as some ferrites. However, the ferrites are often obtained as mixture of some oxides, which implies that the magnetic properties are not always well defined and reproducible. Thus, the researches has been turned to use of the magnetic metals, between which the cobalt. The cobalt is investigated because its high magnetic susceptility. However, this transition metal is easily oxidate in air and is toxic to human organism. For this reason, it has looked for to effect synthesis involving core – shell structures, which no to allow the oxidation of the cobalt and prevent against its toxicity. Between the shells that come being obtained it is of silica and of gold. In addition, in if treating to catalysis in a general way, the price of the cobalt and its magnetic properties are adjusted for the attainment core – shell catalysts, Cocore@Ptshell, (Co@Pt). So, the aim of this article is to present and to do an analysis of the more representative synthetic route used until the present moment to obtain the core – shell structures: Co@SiO2, Co@Au and Co@Pt.
