An ancient material for magnetic resonance (MR) imaging: For the first time, Fe5C2 is prepared as colloidal stable nanoparticles with good aqueous stability. The nanoparticles boast strong magnetization, excellent chemical inertness, low toxicity, and one of the highest r2 relaxivities reported to date. These nanoparticles hold great potential in MR imaging as well as in other biomedical areas.
首次将Fe5C2制备成具有良好水稳定性的胶体稳定纳米颗粒。这些纳米颗粒具有强磁化性、优异的化学惰性、低毒性以及迄今为止报道的最高r2弛豫率之一。这些纳米颗粒在磁共振成像以及其他生物医学领域具有巨大潜力。
