Abstract
MFe2O4 (M = Co, Fe, Mn) nanoparticles were successfully formed through the chemical co-precipitation technique. X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and energy-dispersive X-ray analysis were used to investigate samples' structural properties. The investigated structural properties included phases formed, crystallite size, cation distribution, hopping length, bond length, bond angle, edge length, and shared and unshared octahedral edge length. Scanning electron micrographs of the prepared samples demonstrated well-defined crystalline nanoparticles. The grain diameter was 15, 9, and 34 nm for CoFe2O4, Fe3O4, and MnFe2O4, respectively. The energy-dispersive X-ray analysis confirmed the existence of every element (Co, Fe, and O) and no discernible impurities in the samples. The optical properties were studied in detail through photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy and Raman spectroscopy. The presence of active modes in Raman spectra confirmed the spinel structure of the MFe2O4 nanoparticles. The direct bandgap energy estimated through UV-visible spectroscopy was about 2.59-2.64 eV, corresponding with the energy-band structures of the octahedral site (1.70 eV) and the tetrahedral site (0.9 eV). This result was further confirmed by PL emission spectra. Based on Mie theory and UV-visible and PL spectral data, the mechanism of photothermal characterization for MFe2O4 nanoparticles was determined. Investigating the changes in temperature of magnetic parameters including coercivity, squareness ratio, and saturation magnetization for MFe2O4 samples showed the dominant influence of ion distribution and A-A, A-B, and B-B exchange interactions. This study also showed that strong anisotropy and weak dipolar interaction tended to increase the coercivity and squareness ratio of CoFe2O4. Conversely, weaker anisotropy and stronger dipolar interaction corresponded with the small coercivity and squareness ratio of Fe3O4 and MnFe2O4 samples.

Abstract
Complex structures and morphologies in nature endow materials with unexpected properties and extraordinary functions. Biotemplating is an emerging strategy for replicating nature structures to obtain materials with unique morphologies and improved properties. Recently, efforts have been made to use bio-inspired species as a template for producing morphology-controllable catalysts. Fundamental information, along with recent advances in biotemplate metal-based catalysts are presented in this review through discussions of various structures and biotemplates employed for catalyst preparation. This review also outlines the recent progress on preparation routes of biotemplate catalysts and discusses how the properties and structures of these templates play a crucial role in the final performance of metal-based catalysts. Additionally, the application of bio-based metal and metal oxide catalysts is highlighted for various key energy and environmental technologies, including photocatalysis, fuel cells, and lithium batteries. Biotemplate metal-based catalysts display high efficiency in several energy and environmental systems. Note that this review provides guidance for further research in this direction.

Abstract
In this work, MnZn ferrite nanoparticles with hierarchical morphology were synthesized hydrothermally, and their surface characteristics were improved by the PEGylation process. In vitro MRI studies were also conducted to evaluate the ability of the synthesized nanoparticles as a contrast agent. All results were compared with those obtained for MnZn ferrite nanoparticles with normal structure. Microstructural evaluations showed that in ferrite with hierarchical morphology, the spherical particles with an average size of ~20 nm made a distinctive structure consisting of rows of nanoparticles which is a relatively big assembly like a dandelion. The smaller particle size and dandelion-like morphology led to an increase in specific surface area for the hierarchical structure (~69 m2/g) in comparison to the normal one (~30 m2/g) with an average particle size of ~40 nm. In vitro MRI, cytotoxicity and hemocompatibility assays confirmed the PEG-coated MnZn ferrite nanoparticles with hierarchical structure synthesized in the current study can be considered as an MRI contrast agent.

Abstract
Magnetic micro-/nanorobots have been regarded as a promising platform for targeted drug delivery, and tremendous strategies have been developed in recent years. However, realizing precise and efficient drug delivery in vivo still remains challenging, in which the versatile integration of good biocompatibility and reconfiguration is the main obstacle for micro-/nanorobots. Herein, we proposed a novel strategy of magnetic biohybrid microrobot multimers (BMMs) based on Chlorella (Ch.) and demonstrated their great potential for targeted drug delivery. The spherical Ch. cells around 3-5 μm were magnetized with Fe3O4 to fabricate biohybrid microrobots and then loaded with doxorubicin (DOX). Using magnetic dipolar interactions, the microrobot units could reconfigure into chain-like BMMs as tiny dimers, trimers, and so forth via attraction-induced self-assembly and disassemble reversibly via repulsion. The BMMs exhibited diverse swimming modes including rolling and tumbling with high maneuverability, and the rolling dimer's velocity could reach 107.6 μm/s (∼18 body length/s) under a 70 Gs precessing magnetic field. Furthermore, the BMMs exhibited low cell toxicity, high DOX loading capacity, and pH-triggered drug release, which were verified by chemotherapy experiments toward HeLa cancer cells. Due to the remarkable versatility and facile fabrication, the BMMs demonstrate great potential for targeted anticancer therapy.

Abstract
Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, nearly most confirmed cases develop respiratory syndromes. Using targeted drug delivery by microcarriers is one of the most important noteworthy methods for delivering drugs to the involved bronchi. This study aims to investigate the performance of a drug delivery that applies microcarriers to each branch of the lung under the influence of a magnetic field. The results show that by changing the inlet velocity from constant to pulsatile, the drug delivery performance to the lungs increases by ∼31%. For transferring the microcarriers to the right side branches (LUL and LLL), placing the magnet at zero height and ∼30° angle yields the best outcome. Also, the microcarriers' delivery to branch LUL improves by placing the magnet at LUL-LLL bifurcation and the angle of ∼30°. It was observed that dense (9300[kgm3]) microcarriers show the best performance for delivering drugs to LLL and RLL&RML branches. Also, low-density (1000[kgm3]) microcarriers are best for delivering drugs to LUL and RUL branches. The findings of this study can improve our understanding of different factors, such as inlet velocity, the magnet's position, and the choice of microcarrier - that affect drug delivery to the infected parts of the lung.

Abstract
Controlling the morphology and magnetic properties of CoFe2O4 nanoparticles is crucial for the synthesis of compatible materials for different applications. CoFe2O4 nanoparticles were synthesized by a solvothermal method using cobalt nitrate, iron nitrate as precursors, and oleic acid as a surfactant. The formation of CoFe2O4 nanoparticles was systematically observed by adjusting synthesis process conditions including reaction temperature, reaction time, and oleic acid concentration. Nearly spherical, monodispersed CoFe2O4 nanoparticles were formed by changing the reaction time and reaction temperature. The oleic acid-coated CoFe2O4 nanoparticles inhibited the growth of particle size after 1 h and, therefore, the particle size of CoFe2O4 nanoparticles did not change significantly as the reaction time increased. Both without and with low oleic acid concentration, the large-sized cubic CoFe2O4 nanoparticles showing ferromagnetic behavior were synthesized, while the small-sized CoFe2O4 nanoparticles with superparamagnetic properties were obtained for the oleic acid concentration higher than 0.1 M. This study will become a basis for further research in the future to prepare the high-functional CoFe2O4 magnetic nanoparticles by a solvothermal process, which can be applied to bio-separation, biosensors, drug delivery, magnetic hyperthermia, etc.

Abstract
As society progresses, the task of developing new green energy brooks no delay. Li-O2 batteries have high theoretical capacity, but are difficult to put into practical use due to problems such as high overvoltage, low charge-discharge efficiency, poor rate, and cycle performance. The development of high-efficiency catalysts to effectively solve the shortcomings of Li-O2 batteries is of great significance to finding a solution for energy problems. Herein, we design CoFe2O4/g-C3N4 composites, and combine the advantages of the g-C3N4 material with the spinel-type metal oxide material. The flaky structure of g-C3N4 accelerates the transportation of oxygen and lithium ions and inhibits the accumulation of CoFe2O4 particles. The CoFe2O4 materials accelerate the decomposition of Li2O2 and reduce electrode polarization in the charge–discharge reaction. When CoFe2O4/g-C3N4 composites are used as catalysts in Li-O2 batteries, the battery has a better discharge specific capacity of 9550 mA h g−1 (catalyst mass), and the cycle stability of the battery has been improved, which is stable for 85 cycles.

Abstract
The morphology of surfaces critically influences their interaction with the surrounding phase. Herein, we report a modular approach for the synthesis of organic-inorganic raspberry-, strawberry-, and seedpod-like particles to template the porosity of superficially porous particles. Divinylbenzene (DVB) microspheres were employed as core particles, which were modified with polar and nonpolar polymer shells. Subsequently, silica nanoparticle templates were covalently tethered to said particles. Further grafting of polymer shells and subsequent template removal yielded superficially porous core-shell particles. In addition, we introduce a facile procedure for the synthesis of superficially porous particles without distinguishable core-shell morphology. Organic seedpod-like particles were prepared from DVB and silica templates, yielding superficially porous particles after template removal. The surface morphology of the templated particles was investigated via scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and atomic force microscopy (AFM). X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) was performed to prove the chemical modification of the particle surfaces.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Particle-based drug delivery systems (DDSs) have a demonstrated value for drug discovery and development. However, some problems remain to be solved, such as limited stimuli, visual-monitoring. AIM To develop an intelligent multicolor DDSs with both near-infrared (NIR) controlled release and macroscopic color changes. MATERIALS AND METHODS Microparticles comprising GO/pNIPAM/PEGDA composite hydrogel inverse opal scaffolds, with dextran and calcium alginate hydrogel were synthesized using SCCBs as the template. The morphology of microparticle was observed under scanning electron microscopy, and FITC-dextran-derived green fluorescence images were determined using a confocal laser scanning microscope. During the drug release, FITC-dextran-derived green fluorescence images were captured using fluorescent inverted microscope. The relationship between the power of NIR and the drug release rate was obtained using the change in optical density (OD) values. Finally, the amount of drug released could be estimated quantitatively used the structural color or the reflection peak position. RESULTS A fixed concentration 8% (v/v) of PEGDA and 4mg/mL of GO was chosen as the optimal concentration based on the balance between appropriate volume shrinkage and structure color. The FITC-dextran was uniformly encapsulated in the particles by using 0.2 wt% sodium alginate. The microcarriers shrank because of the photothermal response and the intrinsic fluorescence intensity of FITC-dextran in the microparticles gradually decreased at the same time, indicating drug release. With an increasing duration of NIR irradiation, the microparticles gradually shrank, the reflection peak shifted toward blue and the structural color changed from red to orange, yellow, green, cyan, and blue successively. The drug release quantity can be predicted by the structural color of microparticles. CONCLUSION The multicolor microparticles have great potential in drug delivery systems because of its vivid reporting color, excellent photothermal effect, and the good stimuli responsivity.

Abstract
Porous materials have attracted great interest in recent years, and a variety of surface modification methods have been developed to endow porous materials with multifunctional applications. Herein, multifunctional porous materials are fabricated based on surface metallization. Metallized sponges with Ag and Cu are highly hydrophobic and are still hydrophobic under oil. The metallized sponges selectively adsorb oils from oil/water mixtures and can completely remove oils from water. We further demonstrate continuous oil-water separation by the metallized sponges with the aid of a peristaltic pump. The Ag-metallized materials show high catalytic performance for both chemical reduction and dye degradation. The catalytic reduction efficiency of 4-nitrophenol reaches 97.7% within 60 min and remains as high as 96% after 15 cycles. Moreover, the metallized materials show 99.99% bactericidal efficiency for both Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli. Particularly, the Cu-metallized materials exhibit stable conductivity under deformation; and metal patterns are realized via the metallization method combined with a patterned mask, which may provide a feasible approach for flexible electronics. This work provides a versatile method to introduce metal coatings to porous materials, broadening the applications of porous materials.

Here we present a magnetic recyclable photo-Fenton catalyst CoFe2O4@PPy with uniform morphology and excellent dispersibility prepared via simple in situ Fenton oxidization polymerization. The CoFe2O4 core provides good magnetic recyclability for the catalysts as well as the ion source for catalyzed decomposition of H2O2 in PPy coating. The optimal catalytic effect can be obtained by adjusting the ratio of CoFe2O4 and PPy. Methylene blue, Methyl orange and Rhodamine B (RhB) employed as model pollutants certificated that the catalyst exhibits a wide range of photodegradability. The decoloration rates reach nearly 100% in the photodegradation of 10 mg L−1 RhB after 2 h visible-light irradiation and only low toxicity small molecules are detected by LC-MS. Moreover, the catalytic activity remains after 5 cycles with decoloration rates up to 90%. The degradation measurement in the presence of scavengers of reactive species reveals that the positive holes (h+) and hydroxyl radical (·OH) are the main reactive oxygen species in the CoFe2O4@PPy system. The performance enhancement may be attributed to the combination of improved Fenton activity by coordinated Fe2+ and PPy redox pairs and photo-catalytic activity by broaden adsorption and photo-generated charge separation. Here we present a magnetic recyclable photo-Fenton catalyst CoFe2O4@PPy with uniform morphology and excellent dispersibility prepared via simple in situ Fenton oxidization polymerization.![]()

Abstract
Accurate and sensitive detection of dopamine (DA) is fundamental to monitor and diagnose certain neurological diseases. Herein, highly ordered mesoporous ZnFe2O4 (OM-ZnFe2O4) is prepared via a facile nanocasting method and shows the highly sensitive in the electrochemical detection of DA. The optimized OM-ZnFe2O4-40 shows the most excellent activity for DA oxidation in a wide linear range from 2 to 600 nM with a quick response time of 5 s, high sensitivity of 0.094 nA nM-1 and a lower detection limit of 0.4 nM (S/N = 3). The electrode modified with OM-ZnFe2O4 is further successfully used to monitor the increase of DA concentration induced by K+-stimulation of living PC12 cells in a neurological environment. This work offers a simple and powerful strategy for designing electrodes for detecting DA in biological systems.

Abstract
A valuable site-directed application in the field of nanomedicine is targeted drug delivery using magnetic metal oxide nanoparticles by applying an external magnetic field at the target tissue. The magnetic property of these structures allows controlling the orientation and location of particles by changing the direction of the applied external magnetic field. Pharmaceutical design and research in the field of nanotechnology offer novel solutions for diagnosis and therapies. This review summarizes magnetic nanoparticles and magnetic spinel ferrit's properties, remarkable approaches in magnetic liposomes, magnetic polymeric nanoparticles, MRI, hyperthermia and especially magnetic drug delivery systems, which have recently developed in the field of magnetic nanoparticles and their medicinal applications. Here, we discuss spinel ferrite (SF) as magnetic materials that are a significant class of composite metal oxides. They contain ferric ions and have the general structural formula M2+Fe23+O4 (where M = Co,Ni,Zn,etc.). This structure indicates unique multifunctional properties, such as excellent magnetic characteristics, high specific surface area, surface active sites, high chemical stability, tuneable shape and size, and options for functionalization. The review assesses the current efforts on synthesis, properties and medical application of magnetic spinel ferrites nanoparticles based on cobalt, nickel and zinc. Based on this review, it can be concluded that MNPs and SFNPs have unlimited ability in biomedical applications. However, the practical application of SFNPs on a huge scale still needs to be considered and evaluated.

Abstract
Magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) are very attractive especially for biomedical applications, among which, iron oxide nanoparticles have received substantial attention in the past decade due to the elemental composition that makes them biocompatible and degradable. However recently, other magnetic nanomaterials such as spinel ferrites that can provide improved magnetic properties such as coercivity and anisotropy without compromising on inherent advantages of iron oxide nanoparticles are being researched for better applicability of MNPs. Among various spinel ferrites, cobalt ferrite (CoFe2O4) nanoparticles (NPs) are one of the most explored MNPs. Therefore, the intention of this article is to provide a comprehensive review of CoFe2O4 NPs and their inherent properties that make them exceptional candidates, different synthesis methods that influence their properties, and applications of CoFe2O4 NPs and their relevant applications that have been considered in biotechnology and bioengineering.

Abstract
Low-cost catalysts with high activity and stability toward producing strongly oxidative species are extremely desirable, but their development still remains a big challenge. Here, we report a novel strategy for the synthesis of a magnetic CoFe2O4/C3N4 hybrid via a simple self-assembly method. The CoFe2O4/C3N4 was utilized as a photo-Fenton-like catalyst for degradation of organic dyes in the presence of H2O2 under natural indoor light irradiation, a green and energy-saving approach for environmental cleaning. It was found the CoFe2O4/C3N4 hybrid with a CoFe2O4: g-C3N4 mass ratio of 2:1 can completely degrade Rhodamine B nearly 100 % within 210 min under room-light irradiation. The effects of the amount of H2O2 (0.01-0.5 M), initial dye concentration (5-20 mg/L), solution pH (3.08-10.09), fulvic acid concentration (5-50 mg/L), different dyes and catalyst stability on the organic dye degradation were investigated. The introduction of CoFe2O4 on g-C3N4 produced an enhanced separation efficiency of photogenerated electron - hole pairs by a Z-scheme mechanism between the interfaces of g-C3N4 and CoFe2O4, leading to an excellent activity as compared with either g-C3N4 or CoFe2O4 and their mixture. This study demonstrates an efficient way to construct the low-cost magnetic CoFe2O4/C3N4 heterojunction as a typical Z-scheme system in environmental remediation.

Abstract
This work develops the NiMnO3/NiMn2O4 ilmenite/spinel hybrid oxides as highly efficient bifunctional catalysts toward both oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). They are prepared with the aid of pollen, using a two-step annealing method. The interaction between NiMnO3 and NiMn2O4 nanoparticles results in an enhanced charge transfer between nanoparticles and active species in electrolytes, which is favorable for their electrocatalytic activities. The surface oxidation states of Ni and Mn for the hybrid oxides can be tuned by pollen, which greatly influences the OER and ORR activities and the overall bifunctional activity. The surface Ni3+ facilitates OER activity, while the surface Mn3+ with a small amount of Mn4+ favors ORR processes. Through optimization, 0.61NiMnO3/NiMn2O4 shows the highest OER activity, while 1.57NiMnO3/NiMn2O4 can outperform the others in promoting ORR processes. Between them, 0.61NiMnO3/NiMn2O4 exhibits the higher overall bifunctional activity. Furthermore, both of the optimized hybrid oxides show excellent durability during both OER and ORR processes. They can be considered as promising bifunctional catalysts for OER/ORR.

Abstract
The study of cancer is of great significance to human survival and development, due to the fact that cancer has become one of the greatest threats to human health. In recent years, the rapid progress of nanoscience and nanotechnology has brought new and bright opportunities to this field. In particular, the applications of quantum dots (QDs) and magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) have greatly promoted early diagnosis and effective therapy of cancer. In this review, we focus on fluorescent/magnetic micro/nano-spheres based on QDs and/or MNPs (we may call them "nanoparticle-sphere (NP-sphere) composites") from their preparation to their bio-application in cancer research. Firstly, we outline and compare the main four kinds of methods for fabricating NP-sphere composites, including their design principles, operation processes, and characteristics (merits and limitations). The NP-sphere composites successfully inherit the unique fluorescence or magnetic properties of QDs or MNPs. Moreover, compared with the nanoparticles (NPs) alone, the NP-sphere composites show superior properties, which are also discussed in this review. Then, we summarize their recent applications in cancer research from three aspects, that is: separation and enrichment of target tumor cells or biomarkers; cancer diagnosis mainly through medical imaging or tumor biomarker detection; and cancer therapy via targeted drug delivery systems. Finally, we provide some perspectives on the future challenges and development trends of the NP-sphere composites.

Abstract
Magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) can play a distinct role in magnetic drug delivery via their distribution to the targeted area. The preparation of such MNPs is a challenging multiplex task that requires the optimization of size, magnetic, and surface properties for the achievement of desirable target selectivity, along with the sustained drug release as a prerequisite. In that context, CoFe2O4 MNPs with a small size of ∼7 nm and moderate saturation magnetization of ∼60 emu g(-1) were solvothermally synthesized in the presence of octadecylamine (ODA) with a view to investigate the functionalization route effect on the drug release. Synthetic regulations allowed us to prepare MNPs with aminated (AmMNPs) and amine-free (FAmMNPs) surface. The addition of the nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug with a carboxylate donor, Naproxen (NAP), was achieved by direct coupling with the NH2 groups, rendered by ODA, through the formation of an amide bond in the case of AmMNPs. In the case of FAmMNPs, indirect coupling of NAP was performed through an intermediate linker (polyethylenimine) and on PEG-ylated MNPs. FT-IR, (1)H NMR, (13)C NMR, and UV-vis data confirmed the addition of NAP, whereas diverse drug-release behavior was observed for the different functionalization approaches. The biological behavior of the MNPs@NAP was evaluated in vitro in rat serum and in vivo in mice, after radiolabeling with a γ-emitting radionuclide, (99m)Tc. The in vivo fate of MNPs@NAP carriers was in straightforward relation with the direct or indirect coupling of NAP. Furthermore, an inflammation was induced intramuscularly, where the directly coupled (99m)Tc-MNPs@NAP carriers showed increased accumulation at the inflammation site.

Abstract
The relentless pursuit of new electrode materials for lithium ion batteries (LIBs) has been conducted for decades. Structures with either porous or nanostructure configurations have been confirmed as advantageous candidates for energy storage/conversion applications. The integration of the two features into one structure can provide another chance to improve the electroactivities. Recently, single-phased mixed metal oxides (MMOs) containing different metal cations, in particular, have confirmed high electrochemical activities because of their complex chemical composition, interfacial effects, and the synergic effects of the multiple metal species. In this review, we will focus on recent research advances of MMOs with porous architectures as anode materials in the matter of structural arrangement and compositional manipulation. Moreover, the application of self-supported MMO-based porous structures as LIB anodes is also explained herein. More importantly, investigations on the synthetic system and formation mechanism of porous MMOs will be highlighted. Some future trends for the innovative design of new electrode materials are also discussed in this review. The challenges and prospects will draw many researchers' attention.
