Ferumoxytol, which is originally intended for MRI and anemia treatment, is currently the only inorganic nanodrug approved by FDA for clinical application in vivo. Common ferumoxytol seems incapable of meeting the requirements for diverse applications. Thus, the development of a novel strategy based on co-precipitation to produce ferumoxytol with high quality is an imminent task.

With increasing number of layers a transition of the electric property from insulating to conducting can be achieved. This conductivity leads to controllable thermogenesis of the film, which can be employed for drug release of loaded hydrogels.

However, the flexible control of thermogenesis for the given nanomaterials remains challenging. Here, we propose that the thermogenesis of assembled magnetic nanoparticles can be controlled by orientation of the film relative to an external field.
