Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Green Chemistry

Background:

  • Ferrites are valuable in biomedicine due to magnetic properties for diagnostics, drug delivery, and hyperthermia.
  • Developing novel ferrite synthesis routes is crucial for advancing biomedical applications.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To synthesize KFeO2 particles using a green proteic sol-gel method with coconut water.
  • To investigate the effects of heat treatment on KFeO2 particle properties for biomedical use.

Main Methods:

  • Proteic sol-gel synthesis using powdered coconut water as a precursor.
  • Heat treatments ranging from 350 °C to 1300 °C.
  • Structural, morphological, biocompatibility, and magnetic characterization.

Main Results:

  • KFeO2 phase formation and secondary phases observed, influenced by heat treatment temperature.
  • Micrometric grains observed via scanning electron microscopy.
  • Saturation magnetization ranged from 15.5 to 24.1 emu/g.
  • Cytotoxicity observed only at 350 °C; higher temperatures showed biocompatibility.
  • Specific absorption rates were low (1.55-5.76 W/g).

Conclusions:

  • The green synthesis method produced KFeO2 particles with tunable properties via heat treatment.
  • Optimized heat treatments are necessary to manage phase purity and enhance magnetic properties for biomedical applications.
  • Further research is needed to improve specific absorption rates for effective magnetic hyperthermia treatments.
