Abstract

ABSTRACT: Iron oxide nanoparticles (NPs) were prepared by the thermal decomposition of iron-oleate. The effects of reaction temperature, time, solvent, and surfactant were tested. The synthesized NPs were characterized by X-ray diffraction, Transmission electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, , and Fourier transform infrared. The results show that reaction time has little effect on the sizes of synthesized NPs, while the solvent directly decides the sizes. There is a most appropriate temperature to fulfill perfect monodisperse iron oxide NPs. Moreover, different surfactants lead to different shapes of synthesized NPs.
