Cobalt-doped iron oxide nanoparticles were prepared by solution combustion technique. The structural and magnetic properties of the prepared samples were also investigated. The average crystallite size of cobalt ferrite (CoFe2O4) magnetic nanoparticle was calculated using Scherrer equation, and it was found to be 16±5 nm. The particle size was measured by transmission electron microscope. This ...

The reaction mechanism for conversion of MnO nanoparticles to Mn-ferrite nanoparticles was studied, which involved sequential consumption of MnO and the growth of ferrite. The method could be applied to other ferrite nanoparticles including cobalt ferrite.

This book chapter is organized into four major parts. Firstly, it will cover an introduction of using spinel ferrite nanoparticles in biomedical applications, including the antibacterial properties. The second part will provide an overview of the structure and magnetism of spinel ferrites. The third part will focus on the preparation of cobalt ferrite and transition metal substituted cobalt fer...

The optical properties of multi-functionalized cobalt ferrite (CoFe2O4), cobalt zinc ferrite (Co0.5Zn0.5Fe2O4), and zinc ferrite (ZnFe2O4) nanoparticles have been enhanced by coating them with silica shell using a modified Stöber method. The ferrites nanoparticles were prepared by a modified citrate gel technique. These core/shell ferrites nanoparticles have been fired at temperatures: 400°C, 6...

Metallic nanoparticles have been increasingly suggested as prospective therapeutic nanoplatforms, yet their long-term fate and cellular processing in the body is poorly understood. Here we examined the role of an endogenous iron storage protein - namely the ferritin - in the remediation of biodegradable cobalt ferrite magnetic nanoparticles. Structural and elemental analysis of ferritins close ...

Magnetic nanoparticles of cobalt ferrite (CoFe204) have been synthesized using water-in-oil microemulsions consisting of water, cetyl trimethyl ammonium bromide (surfactant), n-butanol (cosurfactant), and n-octane (oil). Precursor hydroxides were precipitated in the aqueous cores of water-in-oil microemulsions and these were then separated and calcined to give the magnetic oxide. X-ray diffract...

In this work we have examined the influence of the pH on the structural and magnetic properties of cobalt ferrite (CoFe2O4) nanoparticles obtained by a combination of the co-precipitation and hydrothermal methods. The crystal structures and the particle sizes of the prepared powders were analyzed by the X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy, while the magnetic properties of the...

Recent advances in the synthesis of various magnetic nanoparticles using colloidal chemical approaches are reviewed. Typically, these approaches involve either rapid injection of reagents into hot surfactant solution followed by aging at high temperature, or the mixing of reagents at a low temperature and slow heating under controlled conditions. Spherical cobalt nanoparticles with various crys...

Cobalt ferrite nanoparticles were synthesized with coprecipitation or with the hydrothermal method. Stable water suspensions were prepared from the as-synthesized nanoparticles, with the addition of citric acid as a surfactant, and then used for the preparation of deposits under an applied magnetic field. The morphology of the cobalt ferrite nanoparticles was investigated with a transmission el...
