Biodiesel is a kind of renewable diesel fuel composed of long-chain fatty acid methyl esters (FAMEs) or fatty acid ethyl esters (FAEEs), which can be used as an alternative fuel to alleviate energy shortage and environmental problems. Vigorously developing biodiesel has important strategic significance for sustainable economic development and promoting energy substitution. The transesterification and esterification processes can be used to prepare biodiesel due to their low complexity and high affordability. Heterogeneous catalysts have the advantages of higher transesterification rate, more environmental protection and relatively simple post-treatment process, but there are still some limitations in separation and recovery. Magnetic nanoparticles can solve this problem because of their high surface area and active sites, which are easy to be recovered and reused by magnetic field. The preparation methods, functionalization and catalytic applications of magnetic functional materials, including superparamagnetic acid, alkali, enzyme and acid-base bifunctional materials which can be used to synthesize biodiesel, are reviewed, which is of guiding significance to the future research in the field of magnetic nano-catalysts and biodiesel.
