Abstract
Nanoferrites are the most frequently used ceramic nanomaterials due to their excellent physical and chemical properties. The properties of nanomaterials are more significant than their bulk counterparts. Selection of specific synthesis route plays a vital role in the preparation of nanoparticles. The reaction conditions and other physical parameters can affect the properties of particles to be developed. Several wet chemical methods have been introduced in the past few decades. Sol-gel, polyol, electrochemical, citrate precursor, sonochemical, solvothermal, co-precipitation, hydrothermal, etc. are some trendy methods to synthesize nanoparticles. Various synthesis routes are explained briefly in this chapter. Various factors such as reaction conditions, energy utilization, reagent compositions, and costs of production are discussed as well.
