Application:	Iron(III) acetylacetonate can be used as: • A precursor in the synthesis of Fe₃O₄/carbon composite fibers via forcespinning. This fiber material is suitable for use as anode materials in lithium-ion batteries. • A precursor in the synthesis of iron-based metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) for the applications in rechargeable alkali-ion batteries. • A catalyst in the controlled living radical polymerization of vinyl acetate to synthesis of polymers with controlled molecular weights. • A precursor to synthesize iron-doped titania (Fe-TiO₂) photocatalysts for the potential applications in photocatalytic reactions. • A MOCVD precursor for highly crystalline (Zn,Fe)Fe₂O₄ films and magnetic property measurements of these films. • A precursor in the synthesis of Iron-oxide nanoparticles in the development of carbon nanofiber (CNF) based anodes for lithium-ion batteries. • A precursor in the synthesis of ferrimagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (magnetite or maghemite) with various morphologies, which are employed in biomedical applications such as hyperthermia, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and drug delivery. • A precursor in the synthesis of magnetite nanoparticles via solvothermal synthesis. The resulting nanoparticles are smaller than 20 nm, exhibit uniform size, high crystallinity, and good dispersibility in organic solvents. These properties make them suitable for applications in, nanocomposite preparation, and film deposition. (3) • A precursor in the synthesis of superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles by various methods such as gas-phase deposition, pulsed laser ablation, power ball milling, chemical co-precipitation, micro-emulsions, hydrothermal synthesis. These nanoparticles find applications in tissue engineering biosensors, magnetic resonance imaging.
