Iron (Fe) is the fourth most abundant element in the earth's crust and plays important roles in
both biological and chemical processes. The redox reactivity of various Fe (II) forms has …

Mixed-valent iron [Fe (II)-Fe (III)] minerals such as magnetite and green rust have received a
significant amount of attention over recent decades, especially in the environmental …

Magnetite and maghemite multicore nanoflowers (NFs) synthesized using the modified
polyol-mediated routes are to date among the most effective nanoheaters in magnetic …

We show that phenol can be effectively degraded by magnetite in the presence of persulfate
(S2O82–) under UVA irradiation. The process involves the radical SO4–•, formed from …

The electrical explosion of Fe wire in air produced nanoparticles containing the binary
mixture of magnetite (Fe3O4) and maghemite (γ-Fe2O3). The phase identification of …

Much progress has been achieved in the preparation and application of engineered
nanoparticles (NPs) in the field of medicine, mainly for antibacterial and antiviral …

Microorganisms are a primary control on the redox-induced cycling of iron in the
environment. Despite the ability of bacteria to grow using both Fe (II) and Fe (III) bound in …

The Windjana drill sample, a sandstone of the Dillinger member (Kimberley formation, Gale
Crater, Mars), was analyzed by CheMin X‐ray diffraction (XRD) in the MSL Curiosity rover …

Nitriding has been used for decades to improve the corrosion resistance of iron and steel
materials. Moreover, iron nitrides (Fe x N) have been shown to give an outstanding catalytic …

Among iron oxide phases, magnetite (Fe3O4) is often the preferred one for
nanotechnological and biomedical applications because of its high saturation magnetization …
