Abstract: Recently, the treatment of cancer is very costly, but the synthesis of functional oxides is very cost-effective, and it can be used for the treatment of cancer. We have designed a photothermal detector empowered by IOT. Functional oxides are suspended in water, kept in a transparent bottle and the bottle is kept in a wooden box with an open window, so the sunlight is directly incident on functional oxides. The temperature sensor collects data on the temperature of functional oxides transmitted to the internet cloud and based on the program, temperature vs time data is received in our Android device. The photothermal efficiency of functional oxides is calculated using a standard equation.

9. Detailed Description of the invention with reference to the accompanying drawing
Spinel ferrites are special types of functional oxides that have ferrimagnetic properties as well as semiconducting properties. The chemical composition formula of spinel ferrite is MO•Fe2O3. This structure has a fcc cage of oxygen ions and the metallic cations are distributed among tetrahedral (A) and octahedral [B] interstitial sites. This MO•Fe2O3 structure can be derived from Fe2+O•(Fe3+)2O3 while Fe2+ replaced by other divalent ions like Cd, Cu, Zn, Mn, etc. In the proper condition, they show a photothermal effect. In the present innovation, we have designed a photothermal detector empowered with IoT [1] as shown in figure 1. The photothermal detector is made up of a wooden chamber [2]. The glass wool [3] is placed inside the wooden chamber for thermal insulation. The sample is a mixture of water and function oxide suspension [7] which is poured into the sample container [6] and placed on the adjustable base [5]. The temperature sensor [9] is immersed into the sample container which is connected by the connection wire [10] with the NODMCU [11]. The electromagnetic irradiation [14] is incident on the sample through the glass window [4]. The temperature of functional oxides is increased due to irradiation and is transferred to the cloud with the help of Wi-Fi [12] of NODMCU [11]. Cloud [13] is stored the data of temperature and irradiation time. As the irradiation time increased, the temperature of the functional oxides increased. One can observe the data through graphical mode on a screened device [15].

Now, put the sample container into the insulated wooden box. Insert the DS18B20 Temperature Sensor in the sample container. Connect the temperature sensor and the NODEMCU. Connect the NODEMCU with data cable and cable connect to the adapter. Adapter’s output voltage is 3V-5V which is required for the circuit as shown in Figure 2. Now, set the insulated box in front of the light source. Use a sodium lamp as a light source according to one embodiment of present invention, as shown in figure 2.
