Abstract
AbstractMagnetic nanoparticles (NPs) are efficient heat mediators in induction heating. Originally explored for hyperthermia, their applications have broadened to industrial processes where temperature control is crucial. By adjusting the NP composition or morphology, magnetic characteristics such as Curie temperatures can be tailored, allowing control over maximum heating thresholds. These NPs are, however, usually designed for maximum heating rates at specific magnetic fields. In this work, the synthesis is presented for colloidally stable Co and ZnCo ferrite NPs with customizable maximum heating temperatures, and their combination within micron‐scaled supraparticles (SPs). Maximum induction heating temperatures of ZnCo ferrite NPs are tuned between 150 and 220 °C, while customization of Co ferrite species yields temperatures between 200 and 350 °C. These distinct magnetic properties are exploited in the selective multi‐stage heating of SPs consisting of both species. Here, ZnCo ferrite components heat up to a first temperature plateau at low alternating magnetic fields (AMF), while Co ferrite NPs reach higher temperatures at increased AMF. The precise control of induction heating thresholds through the adaptability of NPs offers a high degree of customizability which makes induction heating particularly attractive for applications requiring sequential or spatial heating, such as catalysis or debonding on demand.
