Zinc ferrite nanoparticles capped with Gongronema latifolium for moderate hyperthermia applications

Effect of Chitosan on the Microstructural Properties of Zinc Ferrite Nanoparticles

“…[9][10][11][12][13] When paired with the distinctive qualities of substituted molecules such as Mn, Ni, Cu, or Zn ferrites, which have a cubic spinel structure and strong magnetism they have outstanding magnetic properties, biocompatibility for biomedical applications and a large surface area to volume ratio. [4,5,10,[14][15][16][17] Various methods have been used to synthesize ferrite materials such as co-precipitation, [18] hydrothermal, [19] Sol-gel, [20,21,22] thermal decomposition, [1] and biosynthesis. [23][24][25][26] Owing to their biocompatibility and desirable magnetic characteristics, zinc-substituted (ZnFe 2 O 4 ) ferrite NPs have the most remarkable qualities among all ferrites for plethora biomedical applications.…”

Recent advances in zinc ferrite (ZnFe2O4) based nanostructures for magnetic hyperthermia applications

“…The properties of the nanostructures are highly dependent upon the chosen method of fabrication. Several methods have been developed to produce spherical ZFNPs including combustion, 48 hydrothermal, 44,49,50 coprecipitation, 22,23,44 thermal decomposition, 51,52 and biological synthesis methods, [53][54][55] as summarized in Fig. 2.…”

“…In this section, we will have a closer look at a few of the most interesting studies during recent times conducted on spherical ZFNP systems. One of the most recent studies conducted by Onyedikachi et al 53 used a green route in the synthesis of ZFNPs. Specifically, Gongronema Latifolium leaf extract was used as both the reducing and the coating agent for the synthesis of these nanoparticles (Fig.…”

Biosynthesis of ZnO, Bi2O3 and ZnO−Bi2O3 bimetallic nanoparticles and their cytotoxic and antibacterial effects

“…The energy absorption and reflection properties of nanoparticles also enable them to improve the application of slow laser burns and hyperthermia, which can damage diseased tissues. [18][19][20][21] Nanomaterials have spatial feature because of their small size and high surface-to-volume ratio. Metal oxide nanoparticles are the focus of researchers because of their unrivaled physicochemical properties.…”

“…Nanoparticles promote co‐administration, therapy and multimodal delivery (combination of therapy and diagnosis). The energy absorption and reflection properties of nanoparticles also enable them to improve the application of slow laser burns and hyperthermia, which can damage diseased tissues [18–21] …”
