Article Abstract
This paper deals with the synthesis of high-magnetization porous silicon-based nanocomposites. Using well-controlled organometallic synthesis of ferromagnetic FeCo nanoparticles, the impregnation of mesoporous silicon has been performed by immersion of porous silicon in a colloidal solution. The technique was optimized by controlling the temperature, the immersion duration, and the solvent nature. The characterization of the nanocomposites showed a homogeneous filling of the pores and a high magnetization of 135 emu/cm. Such composites present a great interest for many applications including data storage, medical instrumentations, catalysis, or electronics.

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.
