What is it about?

Core–shell Fe3O4@silica magnetic nanoparticles functionalized with a strong base, triazabicyclodecene (TBD), were successfully synthesized for harvesting microalgae and for one-pot microalgae-to-fatty acid methyl ester (FAME, or so-called biodiesel) conversion. Covalently functionalized core–shell nanoparticles have a large potential for the production of liquid transportation fuels from algal biomass.
