Synthesis of magnetic cobalt ferrite nanoparticles with controlled morphology, monodispersity and composition: the influence of solvent, surfactant, reductant and synthetic conditions

Abstract: In our present work, magnetic cobalt ferrite (CoFe2O4) nanoparticles have been successfully synthesised by thermal decomposition of Fe(III) and Co(II) acetylacetonate compounds in organic solvents in the presence of oleic acid (OA)/ oleylamine (OLA) as surfactants and 1,2-hexadecanediol (HDD) or octadecanol (OCD-ol) as an accelerating agent. As a result, CoFe2O4 nanoparticles of different shapes were tightly controlled in size (range of 4-30 nm) and monodispersity (standard deviation only at ca. 5%). Experimen… Show more

“…At low reaction times spherical nanoparticles appear and, at increasing reaction times, nanocubes and, by prolonging the reaction time, spheric/cuboctahedral nanoparticles appear. This evolution has also been reported by other authors [12,30]. In fact, these changes in the morphology have been related to both the benzyl ether solvent amount and the refluxing time.…”

“…In recent years, researchers have presented a significant interest in preparing CoFe 2 O 4 nanostructures with different sizes, morphology, and cobalt stoichiometry for potential application as biomedical materials [12]. Among other methods, thermal decomposition of iron(III) acetylacetonate, Fe(acac) 3 , and cobalt(II) acetylacetonate, Co(acac) 2 , or metal oleates in high-temperature solvents have been used for preparing CoFe 2 O 4 of different shapes and sizes by changing reaction times, temperature, surfactant concentration, solvent, or precursor ratios [12,13].…”
