Microbial synthesis of hollow porous Prussian blue@yeast microspheres and their synergistic enhancement of organic pollutant removal performance.

ABSTRACT: In this work, Prussian blue nanoparticles (PB NPs) were in situ grown on S. cerevisiae cells via one-step hydrothermal synthesis and the as-prepared Prussian blue@yeast (PB@yeast) hybrids exhibited synergistic adsorption and Fenton catalytic activities. FE-SEM, XRD and BET analysis of the prepared samples confirmed the successful formation of hollow porous structured PB@yeast microspheres, while FT-IR and XPS spectra indicated the fine structures were occupied by both functional adsorptive and catalytic sites. The experimental results of adsorption coupled Fenton reaction of PB@yeast hybrid microspheres revealed that the functional groups on the cell wall and the active iron sites in PB framework were fully utilized due to the triple synergistic effects of adsorption-F
