HEPES-involved hydrothermal synthesis of Fe₃O₄nanoparticles and their biological application

Abstract

Magnetic Fe3O4-based nanoparticles with good biocompatibility and excellent antibacterial properties against S. aureus were successfully synthesized by a HEPES-involved method.

The effect of size and surface ligands of iron oxide nanoparticles on blood compatibility

“…8), indicating the safety of SPIONs. These results were the same as a previous report that Fe 3 O 4 nanoparticles are non-toxic to HUVEC 55 or even promote the proliferation of HUVEC. 56…”

Surface Modification of Magnetic Iron Oxide Nanoparticles

“…Therefore, researchers are focusing on synthesizing MNPs by adopting different routes to control their size, shape and morphology with adjustable and desirable properties. So far, a number of synthesis routes such as co-precipitation [ 39 ], hydrothermal [ 40 ], thermal decomposition [ 41 ], microemulsion [ 42 ], electrochemical deposition [ 43 ], laser pyrolysis [ 44 ], solvothermal methods [ 45 ], sonochemical methods [ 46 ], chemical vapor deposition [ 47 ], the microwave assisted method [ 48 ], and aerosol pyrolysis [ 49 ] have been reported to prepare the magnetic IONPs. The advantages and disadvantages of some methods are listed in Table 1 .…”

A controlled, template-free, and hydrothermal synthesis route to sphere-like α-Fe2O3nanostructures for textile dye removal

“…[2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14] On the other hand, nanosized iron oxides have recently received a considerable interest of several research groups as efficient adsorbents for the decontamination purpose of wastewater. 8,15,16 Among nano-sized iron(III) oxides, hematite, a-Fe 2 O 3 , is the most important and thermodynamically stable form under ambient conditions. 17 Due to its stability, nontoxicity, high efficiency, and inexpensive nature, hematite has been used in different applications such as gas sensors, pigments, electrode materials, catalysts, magnetic resonance imaging, clinical therapy, magnetic materials, printing inks, ferrouids, and water treatment.…”
