Abstract The use of magnetic nanoparticles to convert electromagnetic energy into heat is known be a key strategy for numerous biomedical applications but also an approach growing interest in the field catalysis. heating efficiency limited by poor properties most them. Here we show that new generation iron carbide controlled size and with over 80 % crystalline Fe 2.2 C leads exceptional properties, which are much better than currently available nanoparticles. Associated catalytic metals (Ni,...
Nanostructures are considered as chemical systems of high potential owing to their unusual properties at the interface those molecular species and bulk metals. Consequently, they promising candidates for application in different domains such catalysis, magnetism, medicine, opto-electronics or sensors. The control characteristics nanostructures is a fundamental prerequisite if one envisages exploring physical since vary dramatically with size, shape surface state. Thus, development efficient...

Best of both worlds: Reduction an organometallic Co precursor on preformed CdSe nanorods yields two distinct semiconducting-magnetic heterostructures (see picture). The selective growth the tips first gives nanosphere-nanorod dimers, which evolve into nanorod-nanorod structures. In hybrid objects magnetic properties remain intact, while luminescence are affected but not completely quenched.
Magnetic heating by nanoparticles has recently been successfully employed in heterogeneous catalysis. In such processes, the maximum temperature that can be reached depends on Curie (Tc) of material. Here, order to extend range accessible temperatures and consequently possible reactions, those requiring high temperatures, we developed fully characterized a series FeCo containing different concentrations cobalt, tune their magnetic properties Tc. Their efficiency is compared iron carbide...
Magnetically induced catalysis using magnetic nanoparticles (MagNPs) as heating agents is a new efficient method to perform reactions at high temperatures. However, the main limitation lack of stability catalysts operating in such harsh conditions. Normally, above 500 °C, significant sintering MagNPs takes place. Here we present encapsulated FeCo and Co NPs carbon (Co@C FeCo@C) an ultrastable material suitable for high-temperature catalysis. Indeed, FeCo@C or mixture FeCo@C:Co@C (2:1)...
Spontaneous decomposition of [In(η5-C5H5)] in the presence poly(vinyl pyrrolidone) or trioctylphosphane oxide (TOPO) as a stabilizer gave monodisperse indium nanoparticles with mean diameter about 5–6 nm. In case TOPO, self-organization two- and three-dimensional superlattices is observed (see picture).

The control of nanocrystal structures at will is still a challenge, despite the recent progress colloidal synthetic procedures. It common knowledge that even small modifications reaction parameters during synthesis can alter characteristics resulting nano-objects.

By combining results Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS) time-dependent high-frequency measurements, we propose model describing the mechanism in...
The synthesis of nanoparticles has experienced a huge development over the past 20 years. However, this remained relatively limited to few classes nanomaterials such as iron oxides, semi-conducting plasmonic (essentially Au) and quantum dots. In these cases, physical chemistry approach standard recipes allow good control size shape resulting nano-objects. organometallic precursors have emerged an important class allowing preparation large variety nano-objects, concerning number elements...
