Abstract
Iron oxide-based magnetic nanocomposites have been interesting materials for a wide range of applications in various fields of environment, energy, industries, and medicals. The formation of iron oxide-based magnetic nanocomposites is varied and tuneable referred to their purposes. This paper presents the reviews of the development of magnetic iron oxide nanocomposites by several synthesis method and materials. The highlight is focused on various method for controlling size, magnetization, and the nanoparticles distribution within solid support such as mesoporous silica, clay, graphene, carbon, and zeolite. The role of synthesis method on the magnetic properties and other characteristics as the function of various parameters such as iron content, synthesis condition such as pH, dispersion method, and the presence of intensification are summarized. Furthermore, future perspective for development is also highlighted.
