We report a strategy to coat Fe3O4 nanoparticles (NPs) with tetrathiafulvalene-fused carboxylic ligands (TTF-COO-) and to control electron conduction and magnetoresistance (MR) within the NP assemblies. The TTF-COO-Fe3O4 NPs were prepared by replacing oleylamine (OA) from OA-coated 5.7 nm Fe3O4 NPs. In the TTF-COO-Fe3O4 NPs, the ligand binding density was controlled by the ligand size, and spin polarization on the Fe3O4 NPs was greatly improved. As a result, the interparticle spacing within the TTF-COO-Fe3O4 NP assemblies are readily controlled by the geometric length of TTF-based ligand. The shorter the distance and the better the conjugation between the TTF's HOMO and LUMO, the higher the conductivity and MR of the assembly. The TTF-coating further stabilized the Fe3O4 NPs against deep oxidation and allowed I2-doping to increase electron conduction, making it possible to measure MR of the NP assembly at low temperature (<100 K). The TTF-COO-coating provides a viable way for producing stable magnetic Fe3O4 NP assemblies with controlled electron transport and MR for spintronics applications.

Impact of climate change that stems from gaseous emissions require sustainable materials to eliminate sulfur. This study involves the modification of humic acid with magnetite nanoparticles (Fe₃O₄ NPs) by a microwave-assisted synthesis of an absorbent with reasonable pore volume and diameter for elimination of thiophenic compounds from fuel. The magnetic nano adsorbent designated Fe3O4@HA was characterized using advanced spectroscopic techniques, while their structure and morphology were analyzed through DLS, XPS, XRD, FT-IR, TGA, FESEM-EDX, VSM, and BET-N2 techniques.

RNA interference (RNAi) and oxidative stress inhibition therapeutic strategies have been extensively utilized in the treatment of osteoarthritis (OA), the most prevalent degenerative joint disease. However, the synergistic effects of these approaches on attenuating OA progression remain largely unexplored. In this study, matrix metalloproteinase-13 siRNA (siMMP-13) was incorporated onto polyethylenimine (PEI)-polyethylene glycol (PEG) modified FeO nanoparticles, forming a nucleic acid nanocarrier termed si-Fe NPs.

A magnetic-biopolymer composite of carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), designated as FeO@CMC, was synthesized featuring remarkable stability and an active surface with a green biosynthetic method. This composite was engineered to serve as a substrate for stabilizing silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) with enhanced functional properties. The catalytic efficacy of the nanocatalyst, incorporating Ag NPs at concentrations of 3%, 7%, and 10%, was evaluated for the reduction of the toxic compound 4-nitrophenol to the beneficial 4-aminophenol.

Magnetic microrobots are significant platforms for targeted drug delivery, among which sperm-inspired types have attracted much attention due to their flexible undulation. However, mass production of sperm-like soft magnetic microrobots with high-speed propulsion is still challenging due to the need of more reasonable structure design and facile fabrication. Herein, a novel strategy is proposed for large-scale preparation of microalgae-based soft microrobots with a fully magnetic head-to-tail structure, called AlgaeSperm with robust propulsion and chemo-photothermal performance.

Background: Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are one of the most dangerous persistent organic pollutants in the environment. Due to the discharge of chemical plants and domestic water, the existence of PAHs in sea water and lake water is harmful to human health. A method for rapid detection and removal of PAHs in water needs to be developed.
