Mesoporous silica-coated hollow manganese oxide (HMnO@mSiO(2)) nanoparticles were developed as a novel T(1) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast agent. We hypothesized that the mesoporous structure of nanoparticle shell enables optimal access water molecules to core, and consequently, an effective longitudinal (R(1)) relaxation enhancement protons, which value was measured be 0.99 (mM(-1)s(-1)) at 11.7 T. Adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) efficiently labeled using...
Magnetic nanoparticles have gained significant attention as a therapeutic agent for cancer treatment. Herein, we developed chitosan oligosaccharide-stabilized ferrimagnetic iron oxide nanocubes (Chito-FIONs) an effective heat nanomediator hyperthermia. Dynamic light scattering and transmission electron microscopic analyses revealed that Chito-FIONs were composed of multiple 30-nm-sized FIONs encapsulated by polymer shell. Multiple in interior increased the total magnetic moments, which leads...
The theoretically predicted maximum r(2) relaxivity of iron oxide nanoparticles was achieved by optimizing the overall size ferrimagnetic nanocubes. Uniform-sized nanocubes with an edge length 22 nm, encapsulated PEG-phospholipids (WFION), exhibited high colloidal stability in aqueous media. In addition, WFIONs are biocompatible and did not affect cell viability at concentrations up to 0.75 mg Fe/ml. Owing enhanced (761 mM(-1) s(-1)), it possible successfully perform vivo MR imaging tumors...
Extensive applications of rechargeable lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) to various portable electronic devices and hybrid electric vehicles result in the increasing demand for development electrode materials with improved electrochemical performance including high energy, power density, excellent cyclability, while maintaining low production cost.

Control experiments revealed that impurities TOPO, especially alkylphosphonic acid, were responsible etching structures. Elemental mapping...
For ultrasensitive magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), nanoparticles with extremely high r2 relaxivity are strongly desired. Magnetosome-like were prepared by coating polyethylene glycol-phospholipid (PEG-phospholipid) onto ferrimagnetic iron oxide nanocubes (FIONs). FIONs exhibited a very (r2) of 324 mM -1 s , allowing efficient labeling various kinds cells. The (MR) single cells labeled is demonstrated not only in vitro but also vivo. Pancreatic islet grafts and their rejection could be...
Heterostructured nanoparticles composed of metals and Fe3O4 or MnO were synthesized by thermal decomposition mixtures metal−oleate complexes (for the oxide component) metal−oleylamine metal component). The products included flowerlike-shaped Pt−Fe3O4 Ni−Fe3O4 snowmanlike-shaped Ag−MnO Au−MnO. Powder X-ray diffraction patterns showed that these face-centered cubic (fcc)-structured fcc-structured metals. relaxivity values Au−MnO Au−Fe3O4 similar to those nanoparticles, respectively....

Lamellar structured ultrathin manganese oxide nanoplates have been synthesized from thermal decomposition of manganese(II) acetylacetonate in the presence 2,3-dihydroxynaphthalene, which promoted two-dimensional (2-D) growth by acting not only as a strongly binding surfactant but also structure-directing agent. Ultrathin with thickness about 1 nm were assembled into lamellar structure, and width could be controlled 8 to 70 using various coordinating solvents. X-ray absorption near-edge...
