“…Actually, magnetic iron oxide (Fe 3 O 4 ), which has an inverse spinel structure, forms face-centred cubic with oxygen and in the interstitial octahedral sites and tetrahedral sites are occupied by iron which is present under Fe 2+ and Fe 3+ oxidation states [28,39]. Several methods have been reported in the literature on the synthesis of oxide nanomaterials such as hydrothermal synthesis [40][41][42], sol-gel [43,44] and co-precipitation, etc... Compared to other methods, co-precipitation is the most convenient way to synthesize the magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles because of its lower reaction temperature, easy operation, high nanocrystal purity, and eco-friendly procedure [45,46].…”
