AB  - Partial cation substitution can significantly change the physical properties of parent compounds. By controlling the chemical composition and knowing the mutual relationship between composition and physical properties, it is possible to tailor the properties of materials to those that are superior for desired technological application. Using the polyol synthesis procedure, a series of yttrium-substituted iron oxide nanoconstructs, γ-Fe2−xYxO3 (YIONs), was prepared. It was found that Y3+ could substitute Fe3+ in the crystal structures of maghemite (γ-Fe2O3) up to a limited concentration of ~1.5% (γ-Fe1.969Y0.031O3). Analysis of TEM micrographs showed that crystallites or particles were aggregated in flower-like structures with diameters from 53.7 ± 6.2 nm to 97.3 ± 37.0 nm, depending on yttrium concentration. To be investigated for potential applications as magnetic hyperthermia agents, YIONs were tested twice: their heating efficiency was tested and their toxicity was investigated. The Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) values were in the range of 32.6 W/g to 513 W/g and significantly decreased with increased yttrium concentration in the samples. Intrinsic loss power (ILP) for γ-Fe2O3 and γ-Fe1.995Y0.005O3 were ~8–9 nH·m2/Kg, which pointed to their excellent heating efficiency. IC50 values of investigated samples against cancer (HeLa) and normal (MRC-5) cells decreased with increased yttrium concentration and were higher than ~300 μg/mL. The samples of γ-Fe2−xYxO3 did not show a genotoxic effect. The results of toxicity studies show that YIONs are suitable for further in vitro/in vivo studies toward to their potential medical applications, while results of heat generation point to their potential use in magnetic hyperthermia cancer treatment or use as self-heating systems for other technological applications such as catalysis.

AB  - Nanoferrites have been intensively studied because of the possibility of their use in the fields such as medicine, sensors, environmental, agriculture, weather, battery, etc. Often, they are used as modal systems in fundamental science to study physical and chemical phenomena at the nanoscale. Various pathways were applied for the synthesis of nanoferrites with the same composition were led to different microstructure and structure properties, which further influenced magnetic, electric, catalytic and other properties. Consequently, with a controlled synthesis, it is possible to tune the properties of nanoferrites important for applications. On the other side, properties can be controlled by changing chemical composition. In ternary nanoferrites often deviation of stoichiometry accompanied with cation polyvalence was found [1]. The main idea of our work was the application of the polyol-modified method developed for the synthesis of flower-structured iron oxides nanoparticles in the preparation of ternary ZnxMnyFezO4 samples to seek a correlation among chemical composition and microstructure with magnetic hyperthermia efficiency and electrochemical properties. A series of the samples ZnxMnyFezO4 was prepared by polyol process using a slightly modified procedure described in ref [2]. By elemental analysis performed using the ICP technique, the content of cations in the formula unit was determined as follow: Zn0.640Fe2.360O4, Zn0.394Mn0.138Fe2.468O4, Zn0.309Mn0.240Fe2.451O4, Zn0.182Mn0.344Fe2.474O4, Zn0.098Mn0.447Fe2.455O4, Mn0.624Fe2.376O4. The ICP results pointed to the presence of multivalent cations, Mn2+/Mn3+ and Fe3+/Fe2+. Zn has stable valence +2, while the oxidation state of +4 for Mn couldn’t be excluded. Different oxidation states of Mn and Fe and possible deviation of stoichiometry, can create physical effects [3] and make ZnxMnyFezO4 suitable material in practical applications, used for modification of working electrodesin electrochemical sensors. Consequently, we have performed basic electrochemical characterisation of nanoferrites. Cyclic voltammetry of 5 mM K3[Fe(CN)]6/K4[Fe(CN)]6 (1:1) in 0.1 M KCl at bare SPCE and ZnxMnyFezO4-modified SPCE showed that the highest peak current (Ip) was achieved using a Zn0.098Mn0.447Fe2.455O4/SPCE. The Ip was about 22% higher than the bare electrode. X-ray diffraction pattern showed the samples were single-phase crystallising in spinel structure type. Morphology and particle size of the samples were analysed from TEM micrographs. Particles (or crystallites) were agglomerated in a flower-like structure (Figure 1). The diameter of the flowers was around 50-60 nm. Superparamagnetic behaviour of the samples was found from magnetization versus field measurements (hysteresis loops). Prepared samples were in the form of stable colloids with hydrodynamic diameter in the range of 50-120 nm. The heating properties of the samples were analysed from the data of specific absorption rate (SAR), Figure 1b. The highest SAR value was found for Zn0.098Mn0.447Fe2.455O4. The best heating efficiency and electrochemical properties had the same sample. To correlate ZnxMnyFezO4 different efficiency in magnetic hyperthermia and electrochemical sensor applications with parameters like cation distribution in two non-equivalent spinel crystallographic sites (space group, Fd-3m), local distortion on cationic sites, crystallite size and defects, an integrated study of samples structure and microstructure is in progress.

AB  - We considered theoretically and experimentally a strategy to functionalize plasmonic metamaterials utilizing either a metal-organic framework (MOF) or inorganic-organic hybrids for application in adsorption-based gas sensing. MOFs are one-dimensional (1D), 2D or 3D crystalline compounds that simultaneously contain metal ions or ion clusters and organic moieties, forming thus porous networks ensuring an increased effective surface for adsorption. Metamaterials can enhance plasmonic sensor performance through metal-dielectric nanocompositing that simultaneously tailors the electromagnetic response and boosts adsorption of the targeted analyte through the use of nanopores. To perform functionalization, it is necessary to integrate one or several layers of MOF nanocrystals with the metamaterial scaffold. The simplest approach is to use dip or drop coating or the layer-by-layer technique. The scaffolds that we considered included freestanding, ultrathin membranes and sandwich structures with nanoaperture arrays. For this investigation, we used a non-aqueous sol-gel route to synthesize vanadium oxyanthracene carboxylate, a novel material with 1D crystal structure. Our results suggest that preferential concentration of analyte within the MOF pores may ensure improved adsorption and thus sensor sensitivity enhancement. Also, one may increase selectivity by introducing nanoparticle fillers or by utilizing other functionalizing materials such as catalysts or ligands.
