Article Abstract
A facile method has been developed to encapsulate Fe(3)O(4) nanocrystals (NCs) in morphology-tunable fibers (belt-like, solid, and tubal) by using a sonochemistry driven synthesis and a subsequent reflux procedure. By adapting the use of tetraethyl orthosilicate, ammonia, Cd(2+), and thiolglycolic acid (TGA) to an ultrasound-driven synthesis, the Fe(3)O(4) NCs were coated with a thin composite shell. Supersonic treatment plays an important role to prevent the agglomeration of the Fe(3)O(4) NCs in an alkaline condition. The composite shell became thicker due to the deposition of SiO(2) monomers, Cd-TGA clusters, Cd(2+), and free TGA molecules during reflux. In addition, these composite shell-coated Fe(3)O(4) NCs were assembled in composite fibers which were created by the growth of Cd-TGA clusters and the deposition of SiO(2) monomers. The Fe(3)O(4) NCs mono-dispersed in fibers revealed superparamagnetic behavior. The magnetic saturation value of tubal fibers is lower than those of belt-like and solid fibers. These fibers with Fe(3)O(4) NCs would be utilizable for further application. The strategy described here should give a useful enlightenment for the design and fabrication of morphology-tunable fibers with functional NCs.

Microbial fuel cell (MFC) technology is gaining popularity as a viable and sustainable method of energy and power generation, while simultaneously reducing environmental pollution levels. However, MFCs are not economically feasible due to their low energy productivity and the high cost of producing anode materials. In this study, an anode made of an enset corm biosynthetic graphene derivative (E-rGO) was installed in the dual chamber of an MFC.

A microbial fuel cell (MFC) is a modern, environmentally friendly, and cost-effective energy conversion technology that utilizes renewable organic waste as fuel, converting stored chemical energy into usable bioelectricity in the presence of a biocatalyst. Despite advancements in MFC technology, several challenges remain in optimizing power production efficiency, particularly regarding anode materials and modifications. In this study, low-cost biosynthesized iron oxide nanoparticles (FeO NPs) were coated with a polyaniline (PANI) conducting matrix to synthesize hybrid FeO/PANI binary nanocomposites (NCs) as modified MFC anodes via an in-situ polymerization process.

The spin crossover complex Fe(phen)(NCS) and its composite, Fe(phen)(NCS), combined with the conducting polymer polyaniline (PANI) plus varying concentrations of iron magnetite (FeO) nanoparticles were studied. A cooperative effect is evident from the hysteresis width in the plot of magnetic susceptibility multiplied by temperature versus temperature (χmT versus T) for Fe(phen)(NCS) with PANI plus varying concentrations of FeO nanoparticles. The hysteresis width in the composites vary no more than 2 K with respect to the pristine Fe(phen)(NCS) spin crossover crystallites despite the fact that there exists a high degree of miscibility of the Fe(phen)(NCS) spin crossover complex with the PANI.
