Magnetic Fe70Co30 nanoparticles with a cubic shape and a mean size of 15±1.5 nm were fabricated using a magnetron-sputtering-based gas phase condensation deposition method. The particles had a high saturation magnetization of 220 emu/g, which is much higher than that of commercially available iron oxide nanoparticles. The FeCo nanoparticles were modified by 3-aminopropyltriethoxy silane and subsequently activated by glutaraldehyde, leading to successful attachment of aldehyde groups onto nanoparticle surfaces. Three proteins, namely streptavidin, PAPP-A antibody and Nectin-4 antibody, were immobilized on glutaraldehyde activated FeCo nanoparticles, and their loading levels were quantitatively evaluated. Our results show that loading capabilities are 95 μg of streptavidin, 128 μg of PAPP-A, and 125 μg of Nectin-4 antibody per milligram of FeCo nanoparticles, and that the three immobilized proteins retain their binding bioactivity. The protein-FeCo conjugates may find valuable applications involving magnetic separation and purification of proteins and cells, and the magnetic detection of biomolecules.

The dual-site electrocatalysts formed by metal single atoms combines with metal nanoparticles represent a promising strategy to enhance both oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) performance. Herein, defect engineering is applied to dual-site ORR and OER electrocatalysts. Its design, synthesis, structural properties, and catalytic performance experimentally and theoretically are insightfully studied for the single-atomic Fe─N and the adjacent FeCo nanoalloy (FeCo) as dual-site loading on nitrogen-doped graphene aerogel (Fe─N/FeCo@NGA).

Article Synopsis
- Researchers developed a method to create metal-nitrogen-doped carbon single-atom catalysts (M-NC SACs) to improve the electrochemical reduction of CO, addressing challenges like metal aggregation.
- They utilized ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid as a metal-chelating agent to prevent nickel nanoparticle formation, achieving a high loading of approximately 2.7 wt.%.
- The resulting catalysts demonstrated impressive performance, with a CO faradaic efficiency of 96.6% and maintaining over 90% efficiency across a wide voltage range, due to an optimal local coordination structure that enhances catalytic activity.

Catalytic methane decomposition (CMD) reaction is considered a promising process for converting greenhouse gas CH into hydrogen and high-value-added carbon materials. In this work, a series of AlO-supported FeCo alloy catalysts were successfully prepared in the CMD process. Compared to the pre-reduced catalysts, the in situ reduced FeCo alloy catalysts showed higher methane conversion rates, with the highest reaching 83% at 700 °C, due to the finer active nanoparticle size and greater exposure of active site.

Controllable carbon monoxide (CO) release simulated by light-generated reactive oxygen species (ROS) represents a promising approach for cancer therapy but is hampered by low CO release rate and low ROS generation of conventional photosensitizers in hypoxia tumor microenvironments. In this study, we developed a highly efficient nanoplatform (TPyNO-FeCO NPs) through co-encapsulating organic AIE photosensitizers (PSs) and CO prodrug (Fe(CO)), which are capable of light-triggered robust ROS generation and CO release for synergistic photodynamic therapy (PDT) and CO gas therapy. The success of this nanoplatform leverages the design of a PS, TPyNO, with exceptional type I and type II ROS generation capabilities, achieved through the introduction of the α-photoinduced electron transfer (α-PET) process.
