[Display omitted] •Available synthesis methods of ferrite nanoparticles (FNPs) are briefly reviewed.•Summary of the advantage and limitation of FNPs synthesis techniques are presented.•The existing most common FNPs characterisation techniques are briefly reviewed.•Major application areas of FNPs in electronic materials are reviewed. Ferrite nanoparticles (FNPs) have attracted a great interest due to their wide applications in several areas such as biomedical, wastewater treatment, catalyst and electronic device. This review focuses on the synthesis, characterisation and application of FNPs in electronic device with more emphasis on the recently published works. The most commonly used synthesis techniques along with their advantages and limitations are discussed. The available characterisation techniques and their application in electronic materials such as sensors and biosensors, energy storage, microwave device, electromagnetic interference shielding and high-density recording media are briefly reviewed.
