“…Various novel Fe 3 O 4 NPs with surface coatings (Wu et al., 2020 ) and immobilized ligands (Xu et al., 2014 ) have been fabricated for use in the point‐of‐care field (Xianyu et al., 2018 ). Various methods have been developed to synthesize MNPs such as coprecipitation (Yazdani & Seddigh, 2016 ), microemulsion (Lakshmanan et al., 2014 ), thermal decomposition (Unni et al., 2017 ), solvothermal (Kim et al., 2018 ), sonochemical (Wang et al., 2015 ), microwave‐assisted (Kostyukhin et al., 2020 ), chemical vapor deposition (Farhanian et al., 2018 ), combustion (Kooti & Sedeh, 2013 ), carbon arc (Brunsman et al., 1994 ), and laser pyrolysis (Alexandrescu et al., 2010 ). Among these methods, coprecipitation is the most widely used and most proper method for MNP synthesis with which the sizes of the particles can be controlled to around 9 nm (Soytaş et al., 2019 ).…”
