Iron oxide nanoparticles for plant nutrition? A preliminary Mössbauer study

The nature of our research is such that it has two equally important sides. One side deals with the preparation and characterization of nanoparticles - be that oxides, hydroxides, alloys or other forms of nanostructured matter - that may bear relevance in connection with plant metabolism. This side can well be classified as Materials Science. Enter this forum to access our related works and achievements.

The magnetic state, structure, composition and morphology of nanoparticles may have an impact on the way their interact with plants. In order to properly assess the details of this interaction via controlled plant growth experiments, it is inevitable that following their preparation the nanoparticles get characterized for their physical and chemical properties. In this work we introduce our first such results regarding ferric-oxide-hydroxide and magnetite nanoparticles that are promising candidates for being used in the metal biofortification of plants.
