Abstract

Magnetic materials, particularly ferrites, are integral to various electronic and biomedical applications due to their unique magnetic and electrical properties. Ferrites, which typically adopt spinel structures, are synthesized by mixing iron oxide (Fe2O3) with other metallic elements, such as nickel, zinc, or manganese. They exhibit ferromagnetic behavior below the Curie temperature and paramagnetic properties above it. Iron oxide nanoparticles (NPs), particularly Fe3O4 and γ-Fe2O3, have gained significant attention for their versatility in fields like catalysis, data storage, and biomedical technologies. Their superparamagnetism, high magnetic susceptibility, and biocompatibility make them particularly promising for targeted drug delivery, magnetic resonance imaging, and bioseparation. This review explores the various synthesis methods for iron oxide nanoparticles, including co-precipitation, thermal decomposition, hydrothermal synthesis, microemulsion, and sonochemical techniques. Each method has specific advantages and limitations, such as particle size control, monodispersity, and stability. The review also highlights the critical role of nanoscale characterization techniques, such as scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM), in understanding the structural, morphological, and compositional attributes of synthesized nanoparticles. These tools enable the optimization of synthesis parameters and the tailoring of nanoparticles for specific applications. Overall, advancements in synthesis and characterization are paving the way for innovative applications of iron oxide nanoparticles in catalysis, biomedical science, and beyond.
