Facile one-pot synthesis of multi-armed Fe3O4 nanocrystals

Influence of stirring velocity on the synthesis of magnetite nanoparticles (Fe3O4) by the co-precipitation method

“…3(c) shows that stirring the solution at 18,000 rpm produced both nanoparticles with different shapes and sizes as well as different sizes of nanorods. Although magnetite nanoparticles possess magnetic axes along the directions (1 1 1) and (1 1 0), providing the possibilities for partial one-dimensional (1D) growth along these magnetic axes [37,38]. Still, they do not grow preferentially by themselves and are mainly restricted by the isotropic spinnel crystal structure and the strong magnetism [39].…”

Synthesis and characterization of nanosized urchin-like α-Fe2O3 and Fe3O4: Microwave electromagnetic and absorbing properties

“…␣-Fe 2 O 3 and Fe 3 O 4 ), are generally recognized as most of promising materials because of their low cost, non-toxicity, environmental benignity, and interesting magnetic behaviors, which is of great importance to have potential applications as catalysts, gas sensors, magnetic filters, electrode materials, magnetic storage media, as well as materials for microwave absorbing and shielding research [13][14][15][16][17]. Interestingly, these intrinsic properties of magnetic nanostructures may be tailored by controlling their shape, composition, size, and so forth.…”

Facile synthesis and magnetic properties of monodisperse Fe3O4/silica nanocomposite microspheres with embedded structures via a direct solution-based route

“…To date, a large number of approaches have been developed for the synthesis of Fe 3 O 4 NPs including many solid-state methods such as thermal decomposition [7] and sol-gel [8], and various liquid-phase routes such as precipitation preparation [9], hydrothermal synthesis [10,11], microemulsion method [12], solventless thermal decomposition [13], and high-temperature reflux way [14], as well as other novel approaches such as ultrasonic irradiation synthesis [15] and polymer template methods [16]. In general, Fe 3 O 4 is highly susceptible to oxidation when exposed to the atmosphere.…”
