Fe₃O₄@MOF Magnetic Nanocomposites: Synthesis and Applications

Abstract

In this review, we gather a great deal of information about magnetic nanocomposites, which are made from the combination of Fe 3 O 4 magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) and metal‐organic frameworks (MOFs). Due to the high saturation magnetization, biocompatibility, low toxicity, stability, and cost‐effectiveness, MNPs have attracted a lot of interest in recent years. Furthermore, MOFs, which are porous materials, formed by the connection between organic linkers and metal ions. The combination of MNPs and MOFs results in the formation of magnetic framework composites (MFCs). The information about the MFCs is classified according to their applications and we provide brief information about the synthesizing of these materials. MFCs have a wide array of uses in various fields such as catalysis, biomedical, extraction, etc. We discussed these applications in detail. This information has been amassed to provide researchers with a proper chance to obtain enough information about these materials. Researchers are also able to become aware of some drawbacks in each field, and they can propose some solutions to overcome those drawbacks. We aimed to prepare a well‐organized review to respond to the desire of using MFCs in different fields.
