Abstract

This paper reviewed the comprehensive literature survey on the physical, chemical, and the catalytic properties and applications of iron oxide nanoparticles. In recent years, iron oxide has made a versatile progress due to its outstanding magnetic property. The average crystallite size was reported in previous literatures in the range of 10–45 nm using Scherrer’s formula. The powder morphology was found to deliberate quasi-spherical and predominantly spherical shape. The specific surface area as measured by N2 adsorption BET isotherm was reported in the range of 17.6–26.21 m2/g. Depending on the synthesis pathway there was, an inverse or normal spinel structure could be achieved. X-ray diffraction analysis revealed the crystallite size in the range between 8 and 42 nm. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy reported the changes in functional group, stretching vibrations in the iron oxide nanoparticles. Scanning electron microscopy analysis showed most of Fe3O4 nanoparticles were in spherical morphology with the particle size range between 10 and 26 nm. Vibrating sample magnetometer reported the magnetization value for Fe3O4 nanoparticles.
