Micro Emulsion-A Facile Route for the Fabrication of Ferrite Magnetic Nanoparticles: A Mini Review

Ferrite Nanoparticles (FNPs) have received a considerable amount of attention due to their exceptional physical, optical, magnetic and electronic properties and wide applications as high density storage materials, catalysts, gas sensors, rechargeable lithium batteries, magnetic bulk cores, adsorbents, magnetic fluids, information storage system, microwave absorbers and medical diagnostics. The design and synthesis of Nano magnetic particles has the focus of the intense fundamental and applied research with special emphasis on their enhanced properties Fabrication of spinel ferrites through micro emulsion provides excellent control over particle size and shape and interparticle spacing. The present paper aims to the use of micro emulsion as Nano reactors for the synthesis of spinel ferrites.
