Abstract

This paper reviews recent developments in the preparation, surface functionalization, and applications of Fe3O4 magnetic nanoparticles. Especially, it includes preparation methods (such as electrodeposition, polyol methods, etc.), organic materials (such as polymers, small molecules, surfactants, biomolecules, etc.) or inorganic materials (such as silica, metals, and metal oxidation/sulfide, functionalized coating of carbon surface, graphene, etc.) and its applications (such as magnetic separation, protein fixation, magnetic catalyst, environmental treatment, medical research, etc.). In the end, some existing challenges and possible future trends in the field were discussed.

Keywords: Application; Environment treatment; Fe(3)O(4); Magnetic nanoparticles; Medical science; Preparation; Surface functionalization.
