Thermal oxide synthesis and characterization of Fe3O4 nanorods and Fe2O3 nanowires

Facile Fabrication of Single Crystalline Fe₃O₄ Nanorods and its Magnetic Properties

“…Therefore, controlling the shape and structure of nanoparticles through their synthesis process seems to be one of the most attractive fields of research. In recent years, many efforts have been utilized to synthesize unusual and novel forms of nanostructures including nanoplatelets [3], nanorods [4][5][6][7][8][9], nanowires [10], nanotubes [11] and nanoprisms [12]. Among these nanostructures, magnetite nanorods have been paid great attention to and can be synthesized by various methods, such as aqueous chemical coprecipitate [4], hydrothermal method [5,6], magnetic field induced growth [7], ultrasound irradiation [8] and thermal decomposition [9].…”

Some of these complex and multi-step methods often result in low yield or low purity products with high fractions of amorphous and semicrystalline iron oxides.…”
