Iron oxide nanoparticles, particularly magnetite, have garnered significant attention in the scientific community owing to their versatility, biocompatibility, biodegradability, distinctive magnetic properties and potential applications across various domains. As the behaviour of nano-scale magnetite is intricately linked to its shape, size, and surface chemistry, therefore meticulous oversight in nanoparticle synthesis is essential for producing tailored high-quality materials. This research paper extensively and comparatively explores two distinct synthesis approaches, namely chemical synthesis and green synthesis, of magnetic nanoparticles with a specific emphasis on precise control over their fabrication processes. The nanoparticles synthesized through a chemical approach exhibited exceptional precision and well-defined characteristics in comparison. The intricate crystal structural, size distribution, surface morphology, and magnetic behaviour of the chemically synthesized nanoparticles were explicated by various characterization techniques. TEM micrographs revealed fine surface features and agglomeration patterns, highlighting the polydispersity of MNPs, while X-ray diffraction confirmed the nanoparticles' crystalline structure, characterized by a cubic shape. The VSM analysis showcased the strong magnetic properties and responsiveness of MNPs to external magnetic fields, with notable reversible magnetization transitions. This study uncovers how different methods of synthesizing MNPs affect their properties. It provides valuable insights for improving the design of MNPs, significantly enriching the scientific knowledge surrounding magnetic nanoparticles and their utility in diverse technological realms.
