Scientific group for the study of hybrid iron-containing nanomaterials

Our scientific group is engaged in obtaining and researching the physico-chemical characteristics of hybrid iron-containing nanomaterials. We have systematized and summarized information on the methods of synthesis and structure of magnetite nanoparticles modified with various ligands, in particular silanes, humic acids, activated carbons and metal-organic frameworks. Possible applications of synthesized modified nanoparticles are shown, in particular, as sorbents of various toxicants and chemisensitizers, as well as prooxidant agents for inducing ferroptosis. We thoroughly investigate the microstructure and colloidal stability of modified nanoparticles using a number of modern assessment methods, including X-ray phase analysis, IR spectroscopy, Mossbauer spectroscopy, UV spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, SEM, TEM, etc. We investigate the biological activity of the obtained nanoparticles in relation to a battery of biotests (enzymatic systems, bacteria, infusoria, microalgae, higher plants), as well as their prooxidant activity in the Fenton reaction.

The results were reported at more than 20 different international and Russian conferences and exhibitions, including SETAC Europe 28th-31st Annual Meetings, Tsukuba Global Science Week, Conference of CIS IHSS on Humic Innovative Technologies "Humic substances and living systems", etc.

The laboratory participants completed internships at the University of Szeged (Hungary, IHSS grant, 2019), the Medical University of Graz (Austria, OeAD grant, 2022), Northwestern University (USA, Fulbright grant, 2023).

We are open to cooperation and will be glad to meet new colleagues.

Every month, our research group conducts interdisciplinary seminars with the invitation of leading scientists or graduate students who are ready to present their work. Reports can cover the fields of chemistry and materials science, ecology and biomedicine, present both research results and the fundamental foundations of scientific approaches and methods.

Our seminars are attended by colleagues from Lomonosov Moscow State University, IPRIM RAS, INEOS RAS, the Institute of Biophysics SB RAS, the Federal Research Center for Problems of Chemical Physics and Medical Chemistry of the Russian Academy of Sciences, the N.V. Sklifosovsky Research Institute of Emergency Medicine.

Anyone who wants to speak at the seminar can contact us by mail l.s.bondarenko92@gmail.com or in the telegram @Lyubov_Bondarenko92.
