MnFe₂O₄@SiO₂@CeO₂ core-shell nanostructures for applications in water remediation.

ABSTRACT: Removal of dye pollutants from wastewater is among the most important emerging needs in environmental science and engineering. The main objective of our work is to develop new magnetic core-shell nanostructures and explore their use for potential removal of pollutants from water using an external magnetic field. Herein, we have prepared magnetic core-shell nanoparticles that demonstrated excellent dye pollutant adsorbent properties. These nanoparticles are composed of a manganese ferrite magnetic core coated with silica, to protect the core and enable further functionalisation, then finally coated with ceria, which is shown to be an effective adsorbent. The magnetic core-shell nanostructures have been synthesized by a modification of solvothermal synthesis. The nanoparticles were fully cha
