ABSTRACTA nanoporous carbon (C) material, functionalized with Cobalt-Oxide/Cobalt (CoO/Co) core-shell nanoparticles (NPs), was structurally and chemically characterized with transmission electron microcopy (TEM) while its electrochemical response for Lithium ion battery (LIB) applications was evaluated as well. The results herein show that the nanoporous C material was uniformly functionalized with the CoO/Co core-shell NPs. Further the NPs were crystalline with fcc-type lattice on the Co2+ oxide shell and hcp-type core of metallic Co0. The electrochemical study was carried out by using galvanostatic charge/discharge cycling at a current density of 1000 mA g−1. The potential of this hybrid material for LIB applications was confirmed and it is attributed to the successful dispersion of the Co2+/ Co0 NPs in the C support.

Core Shell Nanoparticles

Core/shell type nanoparticles with an average diameter of 20nm were synthesized by chemical precipitation method. Firstly, Monodisperse Fe3O4 nanoparticles were synthesized by solvethermal method. FeSO4ž7H2O and NaBH4 were respectively dissolved in distilled water, then moderated Fe3O4 particles and surfactant(PVP) were ultrasonic dispersed into the FeSO4ž7H2O solution. The resulting solution was stirred 2 h at room temperature. Fe could be deposited on the surface of monodispersed Fe3O4 nanoparticles to form core-shell particles. The particles were characterized by using various experimental techniques, such as transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), AGM and DTA. The results suggest that the saturation magnetization of the nanocomposites is 100 emu/g. The composition of the samples show monodisperse and the sides of the core/shell nanoparticles are 20-30nm. It is noted that the formation of Fe3O4/Fe nanocomposites magnetite nanoparticles possess superparamagnetic property.

Core Shell Nanoparticles

Superparamagnetic core/shell nanoparticles have been prepared successfully by the reduction of Au3+ onto the surface of superparamagnetic nanoparticles. The core/shell nanoparticles were characterized by Transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray powder diffraction patterns (XRD), UV–vis spectrophotometer, Vibration Sample Magnetometer(VSM) and micro-confocal Raman system. The results revealed that the prepared core/shell nanoparticles were covered by Au shell. These superparamagnetic nanoparticles can be highly sensitively detected and afford new opportunities for biomedical applications through chemical bonding of bioactive molecules with the Au shell of nanoparticles.

AbstractA homogeneous non-aqueous solution reactions method has been developed to prepare gold-coated cobalt (Co@Au) nanoparticles. After the sample was washed with 8% HCl, XRD (X-Ray Diffraction), TEM (transmission electron microscopy), and magnetic measurements SQUID (Superconducting Quantum Interference Device) are utilized to characterize the nanocomposites. XRD shows the pattern of sample, which is responding to gold and cobalt, no cobalt oxide was found. TEM results show that the average size of Co@Au nanoparticles is about 10 nm and we can find core-shell structure of the sample. SQUID results show that the particles are ferromagnetic materials at 300K. So the gold- coated cobalt nanoparticles (Co@Au) can be successfully prepared by the homogeneous nonaqueous approach. This kind of core-shell materials is stable in acid condition, which would give many opportunities for bio- application.

The endosomal entrapment of functional nanoparticles is a severe limitation to their use for biomedical applications. In the case of magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs), this entrapment leads to poor heating efficiency for magnetic hyperthermia and suppresses the possibility to manipulate them in the cytosol. Current strategies to limit their entrapment are based on their functionalization with cell-penetrating peptides in order to promote their translocation directly across the cell membrane or their endosomal escape. However, these strategies suffer from potential release of free peptides in cell and to the best of our knowledge there is currently a lack of effective methods for the cytosolic delivery of MNPs after incubation with cells. Herein, we report the conjugation of fluorescently labelled cationic peptides to γ-Fe2O3@SiO2 core-shell nanoparticles by click chemistry to improve MNP access to the cytosol. We compare the effect of Arg9 and His4 peptides. On one hand, Arg9 is a classical cell-penetrating peptide, able to enter cells by direct translocation and on the other hand, it has been demonstrated that sequences rich in histidine residues promote endosomal escape, most probably by the proton sponge effect. The methodology developed allows to have a high co-localization of the peptides and core-shell nanoparticles in cells and to attest that the grafting onto nanoparticles of peptides rich in histidine promotes NP access to the cytosol. The endosomal escape was confirmed by a calcein leakage assay and by ultrastructural analysis in transmission electron microscopy. No toxicity of the nanoparticles functionalized with peptides was found. We show that our conjugation strategy is compatible with the addition of multiple substrates and can thus be used for the delivery of cytoplasm-targeted therapeutics.
