We presented the first exploration of the easily prepared nickel-decorated magnetic Fe3O4 nanoparticles as recyclable nanosized magnetic self-stirring catalysts for microdroplet reactions. The cross-linked polymer poly(cyclotriphosphazene-co-4,4′-sulfonyldiphenol) (PZS) was used as the intermediary to link Fe3O4 and anchored nickel nanodots. On the basis of the charming magnetic feathers of Fe3O4 and the fine catalysis activity of Ni, the Fe3O4@PZS-Ni nanoparticles could not only self-stir or make the reactants move along the tiny channels with the help of the external rotating magnetic field but also exhibit high catalysis activity and convenient recyclability. The Fe3O4@PZS-Ni nanoparticles have the merits of small size, good suspension, easy fabrication, and most importantly, superior flexibility and adaptability to any shape of the microreactors or nanoreactors; thus, they may bring new inspiration for self-stirring catalytic reactions in micro/nanochips or micro/nanobiological tubules or tissues.
