Manganese Iron Oxide (MnFe2O4) Nanoparticles - Properties, Applications

Researchers are exploring ways to use nanoparticles in multiple applications across various fields such as biology, physics, chemistry, pharmaceutical drug manufacture, polymer science, toxicology, cosmetics, optical components, and mechanical engineering.

This article discusses the properties and applications of manganese iron oxide nanoparticles. Manganese is a Block D, Period 4 element, iron is a Block D, Period 4 element, and oxygen is a Block P, Period 2 element. Manganese is found in braunite, psilomelane, pyrolusite, and rhodochrosite, while iron is found in the minerals hematite and magnetite.

Manganese iron oxide nanoparticles appear in a green powder form.
