我们报告了锰铁氧体簇(MFC)的一锅水热合成,可对材料尺寸和成分进行独立控制。磁分离允许快速纯化,而使用磺化聚合物的表面功能化可确保材料在生物相关介质中不聚集。由此产生的产品非常适合生物医学应用。
锰铁氧体簇(MFC)是数十至数百个初级纳米晶体的球形组件,其磁性在各种应用中都很有价值。在这里,我们描述了如何在水热工艺中形成这些材料,该过程允许独立控制产品簇尺寸(从30到120nm)和所得材料的锰含量。酒精反应介质中加入的水总量和锰与铁前驱体的比例等参数是实现多种类型的MFC纳米级产品的重要因素。快速纯化方法使用磁分离来回收材料,使磁性纳米材料的克数生产非常有效。我们克服了磁性纳米材料聚集的挑战,将高电荷的磺酸盐聚合物应用于这些纳米材料的表面,产生胶体稳定的MFC,即使在高盐度环境中也保持非聚集性。这些非聚集、均匀和可调的材料是生物医学和环境应用的优秀前瞻性材料。
与纯氧化铁相比,在适当的条件下,在氧化铁晶格中加入锰作为掺杂剂可以增加材料在高外加磁场下的磁化。因此,锰铁氧体(MnxFe3-xO4)纳米颗粒由于其高饱和磁化,对外部磁场的强烈响应和低细胞毒性而成为非常理想的磁性纳米材料1,2,3,4,5。单域纳米晶体以及这些纳米晶体的簇(称为多域粒子)已在各种生物医学应用中进行了研究,包括药物递送,用于癌症治疗的磁热疗和磁共振成像(MRI)6,7,8。例如,Hyeon小组在2017年使用单结构域锰铁氧体纳米颗粒作为Fenton催化剂来诱导癌症缺氧,并利用该材料的T2contrast进行MRI跟踪9。令人惊讶的是,鉴于这些和其他对铁氧体材料的积极研究,与纯氧化铁(Fe3O4)纳米材料相比,几乎没有体内
1. 控制中间商联总直径和铁氧体组成的中间商联苯合成
水热处理后,反应混合物变成粘稠的黑色分散体,如图 1所示。纯化后的结果是高度浓缩的MFC溶液,其行为类似于铁磁流体。当放置在手持式磁铁(<0.5 T)附近时,小瓶中的液体在几秒钟内就会做出反应,形成宏观的黑色团块,当磁铁放置在不同的位置时,可以四处移动。
该合成产生的产物的尺寸和铁氧体组成取决于反应混合物中加入的水量和锰与铁前.......
这项工作证明了锰铁氧体纳米晶体的改性多元醇合成,这些纳米晶体聚集在一起形成均匀的纳米级聚集体29。在该合成中,氯化铁(III)和氯化锰(II)进行强制水解反应和还原,形成分子MnxFe3-xO4。这些铁氧体分子在反应器中的高温和高压下形成初级纳米晶体,最终组装成球形聚集体,这里称为磁铁矿铁氧体簇(MFC)。没有足够的反应时间或足够.......
