Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The core-shell structure has recently received considerable attention for its extensive application potential in various fields such as bio-medical, energy, and environment because of the combined function of the core and shell. In this inaugural Special Issue entitled “Metal Oxide Core-Shell Nanoparticles”, articles about designing metal core-shell nanoparticles, functionalizing via organic/inorganic compound, and fabricating complex-structured components of the shell layer will be gathered. We welcome contributions about purifying biomaterial, such as nucleic acid, protein, antibody, etc. However, the topics are not limited to bio-medical application and research about the core-shell nanoparticle for electronic devices, or environmental, energy and other applications included in our scope.  In addition, research on the properties of metal oxide core-shell nanoparticles is welcomed, including functional properties, stability, and any other properties for future applications.

The rapid purification of biomaterials such as DNA, RNA, and antibodies has attracted extensive attention, and research interest has increased further with the COVID-19 pandemic. In particular, core–shell-structured superparamagnetic nanoparticles have been continuously studied for their application as biopurification materials. It has been reported that Fe3O4@SiO2 nanoparticles are one of the most promising candidates for separating nucleic acids via a simple and rapid process. This study proposed a fabrication method for dual-layered Fe3O4@SiO2 nanoparticles, in which the density of the SiO2 shell was controlled using an intermediate surfactant during the SiO2 coating. After the fabrication of dual-layered Fe3O4@SiO2 nanoparticles, structural, morphological, and magnetic analyses were conducted. The results showed that the Fe3O4 nanoparticles were surrounded by a dense layer 15.6~27.9 nm thick and a porous layer 24.2~44.4 nm thick, and had superparamagnetic properties with high saturated magnetization at room temperature (86.9 emu/g). Then, the optimal conditions for the biopurification material were suggested based on analysis of the selective separation of plasmid DNA. Full article

Multilayered core–shell Fe3O4-SnO2-C nanoparticles were prepared via surface treatment and carbonization at atmospheric pressure. Fe3O4-SnO2 nanoparticles were prepared by the carboxylation of the pivotal particles (Fe3O4) with an anionic surfactant to immobilize SnO2 nanoparticles. A method was proposed to externally surround hydrophilic carbon with amine-forming materials, polyethyleneimine (PEI), and (3-Aminopropyl) triethoxysilane (APTES). The synthesis strategy was based on the electrostatic bonding of the introduced amine group with the hydroxyl group on the carbon precursor and the carbonization of the coating layer by the catalytic reaction of sulfuric acid.
