Coated iron oxide (10) nanocrystal structures, superparamagnetic 10 nanoparticles, methods for synthesizing coated 10 nanocrystal structures, and methods for synthesizing superparamagnetic 10 nanoparticles are described herein. A coated 10 nanocrystal structure may comprise an iron oxide core, a manganese ferrite shell layer surrounding the core, and a bilayer coating surrounding the shell layer. The bilayer coating may include an inner oleic acid layer surrounding the shell layer and an outer layer surrounding the inner oleic acid layer.

Engineered nanoparticles for aqueous applications

Composite nanostructures having a crumpled graphene oxide shell and a nanoparticle selected from titanium dioxide, silver and magnetite within the shell are disclosed. The nanostructures may be incorporated into a filtration membrane suitable for purifying water for targeted separations and for human consumption.
