Hydrothermal growth of octahedral Fe3O4 crystals

Microemulsion-mediated hydrothermal growth of pagoda-like Fe3O4 microstructures and their application in a lithium–air battery

“…In the past few years, a variety of efforts have focused on the development of new synthetic routes for fabricating various Fe 3 O 4 structures, such as octahedrons [5,6], spindles [7], rods [8,9], wires [10,11], nanobelts [12], nanoplates [13], and more complex shapes [14,15]. However, synthesis of novel pagodalike Fe 3 O 4 microstructures, which can provide a large surface area and the self-organization of these building blocks into complex ordered microstructures, still remains challenging and is of considerable interest.…”

Preparation and magnetic properties of Fe3O4 microparticles with adjustable size and morphology

“…The exploration of the methods for synthesizing magnetic microcrystals with desired morphology and size has been of scientific and technological interest [7]. Employing various methods, the Fe 3 O 4 with different morphologies have been successfully synthesized, such as spheres [8][9][10][11], octahedrons [12][13][14][15][16][17], cubes [18,7], tetrakaidecahedrons [19], wires [20,21], fractals [22], dendrites [23], hollow structures [24], urchin-like structures [5], nanosheets [1,25], and nanoprisms [26]. However, fine shape control of Fe 3 O 4 microparticles through a simple synthesis process with good size and shape-dependent properties remains a difficult task [27].…”

Induction heating studies of magnetite nanospheres synthesized at room temperature for magnetic hyperthermia

“…Superparamagnetic nanoparticles such as magnetite have been widely used for biomedical applications including magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), tissue specific release of therapeutic agents, hyperthermia, and magnetic field assisted radionuclide therapy [1]. Hyperthermia is a promising approach for cancer therapy.…”
