Abstract
Magnetic nanoparticles are the bottlenecks of nanomedicine. They are a wide area of study in nanotechnology. In this review, the role of nanotechnology in transforming ZnxFe2-xO3 nanoparticles into biomedical applications and smart healthcare systems is demystified. The synthesis and characterization of ZnxFe2-xO3 nanoparticles are scrutinized, with a focus on the advantages of hydrothermal methods and the revealing capabilities of high-resolution electron microscopy, which enable a deeper understanding of these nanoparticles’ unique characteristics. This review presents parameters that influence the functional properties of magnetic nanoparticles. In this regard, the effect of both internal and external parameters that influence the biomedical application of ZnxFe2-xO3 is discussed. When designing nanoparticles for in vivo or in vitro applications, a crucial set of properties must be carefully considered, including biocompatibility, reactivity, biosensitivity, and biodegradability, to ensure the nanoparticles’ safety, efficacy, and compatibility with living systems. An emphasis is given to the potential applications of the three most important ZnxFe2-xO3 nanostructures namely; nanoparticles, nanocomposite, and double walled iron oxide nanotube. The result indicates that Zn-substituted Fe2O3 nanoparticles investigated for effective hyperthermia (thermotherapy) and a smart health care system.
