Among the different types of iron oxide-based NPs, the three most common structures are magnetite (Fe 3 O 4), maghemite (γ-Fe 2 O 3), and mixed ferrites (MFe 2 O 4 where M = Cobalt (Co), Manganese (Mn), Nickel (Ni), or Zinc (Zn)) [24,25], where Co and Ni are toxic materials. Therefore, these magnetic materials should be functionalized with a ...Web
