Large-Scale Synthesis of Large-Sized Monodispersed Iron Oxide Nanoeggs

Article Preview

Abstract:

Single-crystal hematite (α-Fe2O3) nanoeggs are firstly synthesized using an anion-assisted hydrothermal method. By adjusting the ratios of phosphate to ferric ions, we are able to produce an egg-like nanostructure. And then α-Fe2O3 nanoeggs are converted to magnetite (Fe3O4) by a chemical reduction while preserving the same morphology. The characterizations of Fe3O4 nanoeggs indicate Fe3O4 nanoeggs with uniform size and shape are successful synthesized. Our results provide an easily scaled-up method for preparing tailor-made large-sized iron oxide nanoeggs that could meet the demands of a variety of applications.
