Abstract

This paper is focused essentially on the synthesis and morphological investigation of CoFe2O4 nanoparticles in the field of medicine and targeted drug delivery. Therefore, the magnetic nanoparticles for this field require not only optimistic magnetic properties and narrow size distribution but also to be non-toxic and biocompability. Biological synthesis method is suitable for this purpose. The magnetite nanoparticles CoFe2O4 is synthesized using co precipitation method from metal salts and pistachio leaf extract at low temperature and ambient pressure. The synthesized magnetite nanoparticles were characterized by X-ray diffraction and Rietveld analysis. XRD pattern, confirmed the single phase formation of pure CoFe2O4 and without any impurity phase with 14 nm of average diameter. Rietveld analysis, confirmed the expected cubic inverse spinel structure with Fd3m space group and good properties. The method in the present study offers several important advantageous features. First, the synthesis method is economical and environmentally friendly, because it involves inexpensive and non-toxic materials. Second, size-controlled CoFe2O4 nanoparticles are produced easily in one pot rate. In addition, carboxylate ions in leaf extract act as shielding agent which induce the stability of the biologically synthesized nanoparticles.
