Over the last few decades, the application of nanoparticles (NPs) gained immense attention towards environmental and biomedical applications. NPs are ultra-small particles having size ranges from 1 to 100 nm. NPs loaded with therapeutic or imaging compounds have proved a versatile approach towards healthcare improvements. Among various inorganic NPs, zinc ferrite (ZnFeO) NPs are considered as non-toxic and having an improved drug delivery characteristics . Several studies have reported broader applications of ZnFeO NPs for treating carcinoma and various infectious diseases. Additionally, these NPs are beneficial for reducing organic and inorganic environmental pollutants. This review discusses about various methods to fabricate ZnFeO NPs and their physicochemical properties. Further, their biomedical and environmental applications have also been explored comprehensively.
在过去几十年中，纳米颗粒（NPs）在环境和生物医学应用方面的应用受到了极大关注。纳米颗粒是尺寸范围为1至100纳米的超小颗粒。负载治疗或成像化合物的纳米颗粒已被证明是改善医疗保健的一种通用方法。在各种无机纳米颗粒中，锌铁氧体（ZnFeO）纳米颗粒被认为是无毒的，并且具有改善的药物递送特性。多项研究报道了锌铁氧体纳米颗粒在治疗癌症和各种传染病方面的广泛应用。此外，这些纳米颗粒有助于减少有机和无机环境污染物。本综述讨论了制备锌铁氧体纳米颗粒的各种方法及其物理化学性质。此外，还全面探讨了它们的生物医学和环境应用。
