The core–shell titania (TiO2) hybrid spheres embedded with tris(dibenzoylmethanato)phenanthroline [Eu-(DBM)3phen] complex clusters were fabricated by a modified Stöber method. Under ultraviolet excitation (355 nm), the hybrid spheres exhibit the characteristic luminescence of the Eu3+ ions. The experimental results indicate that the titanic shell has different influences on the two fluorescent centers of Eu3+ ions. The emission from the centers on the complex surfaces was greatly enhanced when incorporated into titania spheres.

Functionalized magnetic microspheres were prepared by anchoring cross-linked core–shell poly(N-isopropylacrylamide-co-acrylic acid) (P(NIPAM-co-AA)) nanoparticles onto silica-coated magnetic microspheres (Fe3O4@SiO2). First, the smaller polystyrene/P(NIPAM-co-AA) core–shell nanoparticles were synthesized through seed emulsion polymerization and adhered to the surface of amino-modified Fe3O4@SiO2 micorspheres, which were made using the modified Stöber method through electrostatic interaction under appropriate preparation conditions. An amidation reaction between the carboxylic and amino groups on the respective surfaces was then catalyzed. Finally, the novel architecture magnetic microspheres with multiresponsive functionalities were obtained, and their polymerization conditions, environmental sensitivity, and magnetic properties were discussed and optimized. The superparamagnetism and temperature/pH dual responsivity and excellent dispersibility of the P(NIPAM-co-AA) functionalized magnetic microspheres provide them with high potential to be used in the fields of controlled drug delivery, bioseparation, and catalysis.

Core-shell silica-coated Fe0nanoparticles (Fe@SiO2) were prepared in one-step synthesis by aqueous reduction combined with modified Stöber method. The as-prepared Fe@SiO2were then used for simultaneous removal of Cr(VI) and Cd(II) from aqueous solution. Batch tests indicated that Fe@SiO2exhibited high removal capacity toward Cr(VI) and Cd(II). Cr(VI) was removed by Fe@SiO2through reduction rather than adsorption, while Cd(II) removal was mainly through adsorption. The removal rate increased with increasing initial Fe NPs dose and decreased with increasing initial Cr(VI) and Cd(II) concentrations. Cd(II) adsorption was also strengthened by Cr(VI) reduction with the release of OH−. The removals of Cr(VI) and Cd(II) were weakened in the presence of cations or humic acid, as a result of aggregation and less active site of Fe@SiO2. Overall, the simply prepared Fe@SiO2were potential material for the heavy metals removed from water.

In this paper, we report the synthesis of the bifunctional Fe3O4@SiO2@Eu-polyoxometalates particles. The magnetite nanoparticles (Fe3O4) homogeneously coated with silica spheres prepared with the Stöber method. The so-obtained Fe3O4@SiO2 core/shell particles were modified by 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane and finally grafted with the luminescent Europium -polyoxometalates. The core-shell particles were characterized by scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, FT-IR, UV, magnetism and luminescence spectroscopy. The results indicated that the core-shell particles show both interesting luminescence and magnetic properties.

Traditional polymeric microsphere has several technical advantages in enhancing oil recovery. Nevertheless, its performance in some field application is unsatisfactory due to limited blockage strength. Since the last decade, novel core-shell microsphere has been developed as the next-generation profile control agent. To understand the expansion characteristic differences between these two types of microspheres, we conduct size measurement experiments on the polymeric and core-shell microspheres, respectively. The experimental results show two main differences between them. First, the core-shell microsphere exhibits a unimodal distribution, compared to multimodal distribution of the polymeric microsphere. Second, the average diameter of the core-shell microsphere increases faster than that of the polymeric microsphere in the early stage of swelling, that is, 0–3 days. These two main differences both result from the electrostatic attraction between core-shell microspheres with different hydration degrees. Based on the experimental results, the core-shell microsphere is suitable for injection in the early stage to block the near-wellbore zone, and the polymeric microsphere is suitable for subsequent injection to block the formation away from the well. A simple mathematical model is proposed for size evolution of the polymeric and core-shell microspheres.

Monodispersed silica spheres with particles size of ca. 450 nm were successfully synthesized using modified Stöber method. The synthesized monodispersed silica spheres were successfully coated with copper through modified sol-gel method employing nonsurfactant template and catalyst. A renewable nonsurfactant template, decyl-alcohol (C10) and catalyst were used to modify the silica surfaces prior to coating with copper. In order to study the effect of catalyst on copper deposition onto silica surfaces, ammonia was used as catalyst in various amounts. The X-ray diffraction patterns of Si-Cu core-shell exhibited a broad peak corresponding to amorphous silica networks and exhibited monoclinic CuO phase. It was found that samples modified in the presence of 1 ml catalyst exhibited relatively homogeneous deposition. The surface area of uncoated core (SiO2) was at ca. 7.04 m2/g and coated samples 1 ml catalyst was at ca. 8.21m2/g.

Photoluminescence experimental results of the Au/Au2S nanoshell (a nanometer-scale Au2S core coated by a thin Au shell) are presented in this note. An enhanced photoluminescence peak of Au coated Au2S is obtained near the blue–green region, compared with the photoluminescence region of bulk Au2S, which is near the orange–red region. The quantum-size effect and the core/shell nanostructure caused the blueshift photoluminescence of the Au2S/Au nanoshell. PACS Nos.: 81.05Ys, 78.55-m
