“…Recently, the wide range of nanoscale forms of these materials has gained much attention owing to their anticipated properties and application in different areas, such as photoelectron devices, sensors, catalysts, etc. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7] Among these metal oxides, studies have especially focused on iron oxide nanocrystals (NCs) in biomedical application, such as diagnostic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), [8][9][10] thermal therapy, 11,12) and drug delivery 8,13,14) because of their superparamagnetic properties, 9,15) biocompatibility, 16,17) and nontoxicity. Additionally, because most of the iron oxides have a bandgap in visible light spectral region (~ 2 eV), [18][19][20] they are promising materials for optoelectronics and photonics applications with solar energy.…”
