Size and Shape Control Synthesis of Iron Oxide–Based Nanoparticles: Current Status and Future Possibility

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Complex Magnetic Nanostructures

Abstract

Nanosized ferrites and magnetic nanocrystals have attracted significant attention owing to their vast applications in various fields, such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast agents, magnetic memory, efficient hyperthermia for cancer therapy, and catalysts. Magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) have been prepared by ferrite nanoparticles, MFe2O4 (M = Mn, Co, Ni, Zn, Mg, Fe, for example). Because of their applications in medical diagnosis technology, sensor technology, information storage, cooling technology, and magnetic warming, MNPs have attracted considerable interest in the last few years. The magnetic properties of MNPs strongly depend on the size of the MNPs. Therefore, MNPs with a controlled size are crucial in controlling properties for different applications in the biomedical field. The efficacy of dopant ions in modifying the resultant MNPs’ size and shape could be directly related to variations in the rate of crystal growth and thermodynamic and kinetic considerations. In some situations, particle growth is due to the existence of some other physicochemical phenomenon like passivation of the nanoparticle surface, charging of the nanoparticles, and compartmentalization of nanoparticles in different zones. Various methods involved in the crystal growth of MNPs are also discussed in this chapter.
