Magnetic nanoparticles can be synthesized using various methods, including:
Co-precipitation: A simple and widely used method where metal salts are precipitated from a solution using a base. Thermal Decomposition: Involves the decomposition of organometallic compounds at high temperatures in the presence of surfactants. Hydrothermal Synthesis: Conducted in aqueous solutions at high temperatures and pressures to control particle size and shape. Sol-Gel Process: Involves the transition of a system from a liquid "sol" into a solid "gel" phase, allowing for precise control over the nanoparticle size and composition.
