Abstract
The sustainable technological development for the future relies heavily on the advancements in nanotechnology. Because of the high demand, traditional chemical procedures using a wide variety of hazardous solvents are being used for the manufacturing of large-scale magnetic nanoferrites, especially spinel and hexagonal ferrite-based nanoparticles (NPs). Toxic by-products from these processes pose a serious threat to the health of microorganisms, plants, vertebrates, and invertebrates. Therefore there is a necessity for sustainable, environmentally friendly, and green synthesis methods for the production of a class of magnetic nanoferrites using plant extracts and natural sources such as cherry, jamun pulp, honey, corn silk, onion peel, etc. This will not only protect our ecosystem, it is also beneficial for human life. The chapter focuses on the synthesis of magnetic nanoferrites, specifically the utilization of plant extracts and natural resources as not only the starting precursors but also as reducing agents and stabilizers during the synthesis. These magnetic nanoferrites have prospective applications in photocatalysis, storage devices, magnetic cores, microwave technology, and medicine due to their remarkable structural, magnetic, and catalytic traits. Therefore this essential study also addresses the structural, magnetic, and catalytic traits of green and sustainable reagent-mediated magnetic NPs.
