The goal of this experimental study was to present a comparative analysis of iron oxides powders obtained by two alternative methods, i.e. the co-precipitation at high temperature from aqueous reaction medium of iron oxides and, respectively, the solvent free method for the preparation magnetite at room temperature. Vibrational absorption spectra evidenced the dominancy of magnetite in both samples, while the X-ray diffractograms revealed the submicron size as well as the presence of additional iron oxide, in the second sample prepared by solvent free method.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
