Abstract
In the pursuit of finding an optimal heat dissipator aqueous magnetic nanofluid (MNFs) for hyperthermia treatment, PEG-400 coated NiₓMn1-xFe₂O₄ (0 ≤ x ≤ 0.8) magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) were synthesized using a novel sonication-assisted reverse chemical co-precipitation method. The Rietveld refined X-ray diffraction pattern of NiₓMn1-xFe₂O₄ MNPs ensures the single phase with crystallite size varies from 28 to 40 nm. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analysis further revealed the surface composition and oxidation states of Ni²⁺, Fe³ ⁺, and Mn²⁺ ions. The colloidal stability was demonstrated by the increased zeta potential (ζ), ranging from −59 to −22 mV, indicating stronger electrostatic repulsion between the NiₓMn1-xFe₂O₄ MNPs. The substitution of Ni2 + ions reduces the magnetic moment, as evidenced by a decrease in saturation magnetization and an increase in coercive field. This reduction is further supported by dynamic magnetization measurements, which exhibit an increase in resonance field and a narrower peak-to-peak linewidth. These changes are attributed to the replacement of Mn²⁺ ions by Ni²⁺ ions, which suppresses the superexchange interaction between Mn²⁺-O-Fe³ ⁺ ions. Furthermore, the self-heating efficiency was evaluated through a specific absorption rate (SAR) under an alternating magnetic field of 9.5 kA/m. Among NiₓMn1-xFe₂O₄ MNFs, the MnFe2O4 achieves the highest SAR of 129 W/g at a low concentration of 1 mg/mL. Additionally, the calculated Intrinsic Loss Power (ILP) value of NixMn1-xFe2O4 MNFs (2.417–0.277 nHm2kg−1) is comparable to those of medically approved magnetic fluids (3.1–0.15 nHm2kg−1) used in hyperthermia treatments. Consequently, the synthesized NiₓMn1-xFe₂O₄ MNPs demonstrate the potential for effective cancer treatment at low concentrations (1 mg/mL) and low magnetic fields (9.5 kA/m). The results demonstrated that NiₓMn1-xFe2O4 MNPs generated localized heating suitable for hyperthermic cancer treatments.
