“…The draw solution used in this study was NaCl, and the magnetic field had little influence on it, so the magnetic field did not affect RSF. In FO technology, magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) are used as the draw solution, which has the advantage of easy recovery, provides high osmotic pressure, and conducts electricity. − In theory, the lower RSF can be achieved by using MNPs as the draw solution in OsMFCs under controlled magnetic field conditions. But its actual performance still needs further investigation.…”

The osmotic microbial fuel cell (OsMFC) is formed by combining forward osmosis (FO) and microbial fuel cells (MFC). Its excellent performance undoubtedly provided a new research direction for the application of FO and MFCs. However, the reverse solute flux (RSF) in FO also follows. RSF will cause a series of negative effects such as loss of draw solutions, decrease of water flux, and electricity generation. Therefore, inhibition of RSF is very necessary for the practical application of OsMFCs. Currently, there are much research and related reviews on RSF inhibition in FO but few studies on OsMFCs. To provide some new ideas for the inhibition of RSF in OsMFCs, we focused on three aspects: operating conditions, draw solutions, and FO membranes. Existing studies have demonstrated that some strategies are effective in OsMFC, including inhibitory effect of current generation, conventional inorganic draw solutions, membrane materials and orientation, and modified membranes. But there are many more strategies available. Using FO as a reference, strategies such as pressure-assisted osmosis and temperature control may be feasible and need to be investigated further. In the future, the inhibition or utilization of RSF can further improve the reactor performance and promote the early practical application of OsMFCs.

“…MNPs are synthesized via the simultaneous precipitation of ferrous (Fe 2+ ) and ferric (Fe 3+ ) salts in an aqueous media under alkaline conditions and low temperature [ 70 , 71 , 72 , 73 , 74 , 75 ]. It is a popular route in biological applications due the fact it is water-based with non-toxic adducts and mild experimental conditions (temperature < 100 °C) [ 76 , 77 ].…”

Smart and Multi-Functional Magnetic Nanoparticles for Cancer Treatment Applications: Clinical Challenges and Future Prospects

Iron oxide nanoparticle (IONPs) have become a subject of interest in various biomedical fields due to their magnetism and biocompatibility. They can be utilized as heat mediators in magnetic hyperthermia (MHT) or as contrast media in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and ultrasound (US). In addition, their high drug-loading capacity enabled them to be therapeutic agent transporters for malignancy treatment. Hence, smartening them allows for an intelligent controlled drug release (CDR) and targeted drug delivery (TDD). Smart magnetic nanoparticles (SMNPs) can overcome the impediments faced by classical chemo-treatment strategies, since they can be navigated and release drug via external or internal stimuli. Recently, they have been synchronized with other modalities, e.g., MRI, MHT, US, and for dual/multimodal theranostic applications in a single platform. Herein, we provide an overview of the attributes of MNPs for cancer theranostic application, fabrication procedures, surface coatings, targeting approaches, and recent advancement of SMNPs. Even though MNPs feature numerous privileges over chemotherapy agents, obstacles remain in clinical usage. This review in particular covers the clinical predicaments faced by SMNPs and future research scopes in the field of SMNPs for cancer theranostics.
