In this work, iron oxide nanoparticles produced using the laser ablation technique were studied in order to determine the characteristics of these nanoparticles as a function of the laser energy for the possible application in magnetic hyperthermia. Nanoparticles were obtained by varying the power of the laser considering values of 90, 173, 279 and 370 mJ. The morphology of these nanoparticles was determined using the dynamic light scattering (DLS) and scattering transmission electron microscopy (STEM) techniques, confirming that the size of the particles was in the order of nanometers. A great influence of the laser power on the particle size was also observed, caused by the competition between the energy and the temperature. The composition was determined by X-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy, showing the presence of magnetite, maghemite and hematite. The hyperthermia measurements showed that the temperature rise of the iron oxide nanoparticles was not greatly influenced by the energy change, the heating capacity of magnetic NPs is quantified by the specific absorption rate (SAR), that tends to decrease with increasing energy, which indicates a dependence of these values on the nanoparticles concentration.

To elude the toxic effects of chemically synthesized nanoparticles, the phytochemically synthesized nanoparticles may provide a better alternative. For the first time, an aqueous extract of Juncus inflexus shoot with FeCl3.6H2O was used for the phytosynthesis of iron oxide nanoparticles (FeONPs). As-synthesized FeONPs were characterized by UV-Vis spectroscopy, Transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Dynamic light scattering (DLS), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). FeONPs showed UV-vis absorption spectra between 300-400 nm, whereas TEM analysis confirmed the particle sizes of 40-60 nm with aggregation. XRD is confirming the polymorphic composition of Fe3O4, α-Fe2O3, and Fe0 nanoparticles. Furthermore, FTIR analysis presenting the most probable mechanism for the synthesis of FeONPs. This multiphase FeONPs was applied for the decolorization of methylene blue dye (>83%). Phytosynthesized FeONPs have the benefits of low cost, no toxicity, sustainable, and eco-friendly technology so that they may be used as adsorbent/catalyst for remediation of toxic dyes in an aqueous medium.

Abstract In this report, aqueous phase green synthesis of iron oxide nanoparticle utilizing Platanus orientalis is elucidated for the first time. The phytoconstituents of the P. orientalis leaf extract serve a dual role as reducing and capping agent during the fabrication of iron oxide nanoparticles. The role of the leaf extract in the synthesis of iron oxide has been briefly demonstrated in this work. The tailored iron oxide particles were characterized using X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray analysis, infrared spectroscopy, ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy, and dynamic light scattering technique. Nonetheless, X-ray diffraction pattern reveals the mixed phase nature of the ensuing iron oxide, i.e. α-Fe2O3 and γ-Fe2O3. The spherical oxide particles have an average diameter of 38 nm as determined from transmission electron microscopy. Infrared spectroscopy results confirmed the stabilization of iron oxide nanoparticles by the phytochemicals present in the leaf extract. Iron oxide nanoparticles show significant antifungal activity against Aspergillus niger and Mucor piriformis, employed as model fungi, but found to be more active toward M. piriformis.

Spinel magnetite Fe3O4nanoparticles were synthesized using rambutan peel waste extract as a green ligation and chelating agent. The green synthesized nanoparticles were characterized employing X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman spectroscopy, FTIR spectroscopy and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) studies. The XRD study revealed spinel phase hda a magnetite structure. The formation of iron oxide nanoparticles using rambutan extract was confirmed employing IR studies. XRD, FTIR and Raman spectrum analyses all supports the synthesis of Fe3O4nanoparticles. The TEM revealed the spinel morphology of the biosynthesized nanoparticles with 200 nm.

Using iron-oleate complex as a precursor, oleic acid as a stabilizer and 1-octadecene as a reductant, uniform-sized and highly monodisperse iron oxide nanoparitcles with different diameters were successfully synthesized via solvothermal method by changing reaction time. Transmission electron microscope (TEM), thermo-gravimetric analysis (TGA), fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), physical property measurement system (PPMS) and dynamic light scattering (DLS) was used to characterize obtained iron oxide nanoparticles. These results indicated that iron oxide nanoparitcles with the diameter ranging from 4 to 8 nm can be controllably synthesized.

The PEG-coated iron oxide nanoparticles (Fe3O4 NPs-PEG) was synthesized by coprecipitation and ultrasonication method. X-ray diffraction results exhibited that the average size of Fe3O4 NPs-PEG was 19.10 nm, which was further confirmed in TEM imaging. In addition, sonication time and curcumin concentration were studied to evaluate the efficiency of loading curcumin onto Fe3O4 NPs-PEG. Further, statistical optimization using response surface methodology (RSM) has shown curcumin concentration (0,01% w/v) and sonication time (21 min) for maximal curcumin loading (0.37 mg/g). Along with the magnetization studies, the immobilization of curcumin onto the Fe3O4 NPs-PEG was characterized by UV, FTIR and SEM. The results showed that the curcumin loaded PEG coated iron oxide nanoparticles could potentially be used for magnetically target drug delivery.

In this work, iron oxide nanoparticles (~5 nm) embedded in a chitosan polymer film, were synthesized. In order to obtain this nanostructured material, firstly a homogenous film of Fe(II)-chitosan was prepared. The resulting composite film has a thickness of ~140μm. Iron oxide nanoparticles were in-situ synthesized by treating the composite film with H2O2 under alkaline conditions. The morphological analysis by Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) shows the nanoparticles were embedded and stabilized in chitosan polymer film. The magnetic behavior was studied by magnetization measurements. The magnetization curves at room temperature showed that iron oxide nanoparticles have a superparamagnetic behavior.
