Method: We prepared γ-Fe2O3 nanoparticles via thermal decomposition, with mPEG-P replacing the oleic acid on the surface of the nanoparticles to yield water-soluble γ-Fe2O3-PEG nanoparticles. The residual oleic acid on the surface of the nanoparticles was quantified using High-Performance Liquid Chromatography, and the relationship between the amount of residual oleic acid and the T1 contrast effect of the nanoparticles was investigated using a 7T magnetic resonance imaging system. Finally, the vivo magnetic resonance imaging of the sample exhibiting the optimal in vitro contrast effect was conducted. Results: We developed a High-Performance Liquid Chromatography method for the detection of oleic acid, demonstrating a strong linear correlation in the concentration range of 10~400 μg/mL (r² = 1) with an average recovery rate of 99.86%. By varying the ratio of γ-Fe2O3 to mPEG-P, samples with oleic acid on the surface of γ-Fe2O3-PEG nanoparticles were obtained, with respective counts of 100, 83, 56, and 33.

In the synthesis of porous α-Fe2O3, no templates or pore-directing agents were used. The as-prepared porous α-Fe2O3 was further employed as a support for loading Pt nanoparticles. The gas sensing performance of the obtained porous α-Fe2O3-supported Pt to VOCs was investigated. The sensor presented a high response and fast response-recovery characteristic to several VOCs including acetone, ether, methanol, ethanol, butanol and hexanol. Meanwhile, it exhibited a much higher response than the pure α-Fe2O3 at the operating temperature of 260 ℃. The enhanced sensing properties may be related to the unique porous structure of the α-Fe2O3 support and the promoting effect of active Pt nanoparticles for the sensing reactions.展开更多

Renewable energy can be used to drive this process for hydrogen production, especially solar energy. CeO2-Fe2O3 complex oxide oxygen carrier was prepared by the impregnation method and characterized by means of X-ray diffractometer (XRD), Raman spectroscopy (Raman) and hydrogen programmed reduction (H2-TPR). CH4 temperature programmed and isothermal reactions were adopted to test syngas production reactivity, and water splitting reaction was employed to investigate water-splitting activity. Moreover, two-step SRM performance was evaluated by a successive redox cycle. The results showed that CO-uncontaminated H2 and highly selective syngas (with H2/CO ratio close to 2) could be respectively obtained from two steps, and CeFeO3 formation was found in the first redox cycle and proved to be enhanced by the redox treatment. After 10 successive cycles, obvious CeFeO3 phase was detected, which may be responsible for favorable successive redox cycle performances.展开更多
