Electrochemical Synthesis of Iron Oxide Nanoparticles for Biomedical Application

Abstract

Iron oxide nano-composites have potential applications in areas such as magnetic recording, magnetic data storage devices, toners and inks for xerography, and magnetic resonance imaging, wastewater treatment, bioseparation, and medicine [10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18]. Below a critical size Fe 2 O 3 , nanoparticles can be used

Controlling the morphology of metal–organic frameworks and porous carbon materials: metal oxides as primary architecture-directing agents

“…Electrochemical methods of synthesis (i.e., electrodeposition -ED, electrophoretic deposition -EPD) can be applied to obtain various MO nanostructures with desired shape and dimensions. 49,50,[185][186][187][188][189][190][191][192][193] The reaction occurs at the interface of electrode-electrolyte and does not require elevated temperature. The product is deposited on the electrode surface in the form of a coating or thin film having specific morphology.…”

“…Other advantages of these methods include the high growth rate, low cost, and the possibility of using different types of substrates. 49,50,[185][186][187][188][189][190][191][192][193] Lu and Zhou 183 described a fabrication of vanadium oxide films by facile electrochemical deposition method on ITO-coated glass substrates at +2.0 V for 3 min and thermal treatment at 400 °C for 6 h. Vanadium(IV) oxide sulfate was used as a precursor and Triton X-100 polymer surfactant with different concentrations was selected as a templating agent to control the morphology of the nanostructures. Nanorods with diameters of about 62 nm and lengths range of 200-400 nm were synthesized in the presence of 100 mM polymer surfactant.…”

Metallic Structures: Effective Agents to Fight Pathogenic Microorganisms

“…Between the candidates to biosynthesize M-NPs are bacteria, fungi and yeast; algae; plants, flowers and fruits; and viruses. [18,19,23,[36][37][38] Metalsynthesis is bio-mediated by microbes or through biosynthesis. Biological synthesis of nanomaterials is the best alternative being cost-effective, environmentally friendly, advantageous and does not comprise any input of toxic chemicals.…”

“…Between the candidates to biosynthesize M-NPs are bacteria, fungi and yeast; algae; plants, flowers and fruits; and viruses. [18,19,23,[36][37][38] These metallic nanostructures have several applications in numerous fields, such as in diagnostics, drug delivery, antimicrobial activity, and the treatment of several diseases [39]. M-NPs are widely recognized to have antimicrobial properties and are already widespread as antimicrobial agents with several products for antimicrobial purposes having been approved by regulatory agencies and commercialized.…”

Imaging Constructs: The Rise of Iron Oxide Nanoparticles

“…This method does not require high temperatures, and has the advantage of control over particle size, but it is complicated and lacks reproducibility. Additionally, it is prone to the presence of amorphous impurities due to poorly ordered products [ 45 ].…”
