Overview

Iron oxide nanoparticles demonstrate a number of unique properties, including superparamagnetism, biocompatibility, and non-toxicity, which make them an ideal candidate for a variety of applications, as described in this book. Chapter One deals with the recent advances in various synthetic procedures of iron oxide-based nanocomposites, their characterization methods, and their potential applications in energy storage devices, supercapacitors, fuel cells, and more. Chapter Two summarizes current applications of immobilized enzymes based on iron oxide magnetic nanoparticles and discusses future growth prospects. Chapter Three reviews the properties and applications of enzymatic sensors in exploiting tyrosinase, glucose oxidase, and other enzymes for sensing a broad range of biomedical species. Chapter Four discusses magnetic magnetite and maghemite iron oxide nanoparticles from a variety of perspectives. Chapter Five describes how nano iron oxides could be used to remove pollutants from the environment. Chapter Six provides a comprehensive review of the catalytic applications of iron oxide nanoparticles in organic synthesis, high temperature reactions, gas-phase processes, wastewater treatment and supercritical upgradation of heavy petroleum oils. Chapter Seven details the photocatalytic degradation of a class of toxic, aromatic pollutants, namely, phenols and substituted phenols using different types of photocatalysts in the nano size range for effective removal these compounds from water bodies. Lastly, Chapter Eight elucidates various magnetic nanomaterials-based adsorbents used in adsorption techniques for wastewater treatment.
