The effect of reaction temperature on the particle size, structure and magnetic properties of coprecipitated CoFe2O4 nanoparticles

Monodispersed magnetite ( Fe 3 O 4) nanoparticles can be synthesized by thermal decomposition of iron(III) acetylacetonate, Fe ( acac )3. High saturation magnetization M S of the magnetite particles is extremely important to realize the full potential of magnetite materials in biomedical application. In this work, we have studied the different effects (time, temperature and surfactant) on structure and magnetic properties of Fe 3 O 4 nanoparticles. The M S of the particles are enhanced after the synthesis at a higher reaction temperature and/or a longer reaction time. However, the increase in reaction temperature and/or reaction time resulted in particle size increase and the broadening of the particle size distribution. In this work, high M S value of the magnetite particles has been achieved through adopting surfactant or modification of solvent to overcome the temperature and time effects, while the smaller size particles with an acceptable size distribution has been maintained. Size and morphology of the particles were studied by TEM while magnetic properties of the particles were measured using VSM. The saturation magnetization M S of the particles can be increased at higher reaction temperature and/or longer reaction time, while narrow size distribution of the particles can be maintained either by the selective adsorption of oleic acid to the particle surface or by synthesizing them using solvent free thermal decomposition reaction.

Controlling the morphology and magnetic properties of CoFe2O4 nanoparticles is crucial for the synthesis of compatible materials for different applications. CoFe2O4 nanoparticles were synthesized by a solvothermal method using cobalt nitrate, iron nitrate as precursors, and oleic acid as a surfactant. The formation of CoFe2O4 nanoparticles was systematically observed by adjusting synthesis process conditions including reaction temperature, reaction time, and oleic acid concentration. Nearly spherical, monodispersed CoFe2O4 nanoparticles were formed by changing the reaction time and reaction temperature. The oleic acid-coated CoFe2O4 nanoparticles inhibited the growth of particle size after 1 h and, therefore, the particle size of CoFe2O4 nanoparticles did not change significantly as the reaction time increased. Both without and with low oleic acid concentration, the large-sized cubic CoFe2O4 nanoparticles showing ferromagnetic behavior were synthesized, while the small-sized CoFe2O4 nanoparticles with superparamagnetic properties were obtained for the oleic acid concentration higher than 0.1 M. This study will become a basis for further research in the future to prepare the high-functional CoFe2O4 magnetic nanoparticles by a solvothermal process, which can be applied to bio-separation, biosensors, drug delivery, magnetic hyperthermia, etc.

Magnetic properties of the sets of Fe3O4(core)/CoFe2O4(shell) composite nanoparticles with a core diameter of about 6.3 nm and various shell thicknesses (0, 1.0, and 2.5 nm), as well as the mixtures of Fe3O4 and CoFe2O4 nanoparticles taken in the ratios corresponding to the core/shell material contents in the former case, have been studied. The results of magnetic research showed that the coating of magnetic nanoparticles with a shell gives rise to the appearance of two simultaneous effects: the modification of the core/shell interface parameters and the parameter change in both the nanoparticle’s core and shell themselves. As a result, the core/shell particles acquire new characteristics that are inherent neither to Fe3O4 nor to CoFe2O4. The obtained results open the way to the optimization and adaptation of the parameters of the core/shell spinel-ferrite-based nanoparticles for their application in various technological and biomedical domains.

Co Precipitation

This paper presents the synthesis of Fe–Co–Ni nanocomposites by chemical precipitation, followed by a reduction process. It was found that the influence of the chemical composition and reduction temperature greatly alters the phase formation, its structures, particle size distribution, and magnetic properties of Fe–Co–Ni nanocomposites. The initial hydroxides of Fe–Co–Ni combinations were prepared by the co-precipitation method from nitrate precursors and precipitated using alkali. The reduction process was carried out by hydrogen in the temperature range of 300–500 °C under isothermal conditions. The nanocomposites had metallic and intermetallic phases with different lattice parameter values due to the increase in Fe content. In this paper, we showed that the values of the magnetic parameters of nanocomposites can be controlled in the ranges of MS = 7.6–192.5 Am2/kg, Mr = 0.4–39.7 Am2/kg, Mr/Ms = 0.02–0.32, and HcM = 4.72–60.68 kA/m by regulating the composition and reduction temperature of the Fe–Co–Ni composites. Due to the reduction process, drastic variations in the magnetic features result from the intermetallic and metallic face formation. The variation in magnetic characteristics is guided by the reduction degree, particle size growth, and crystallinity enhancement. Moreover, the reduction of the surface spins fraction of the nanocomposites under their growth induced an increase in the saturation magnetization. This is the first report where the influence of Fe content on the Fe–Co–Ni ternary system phase content and magnetic properties was evaluated. The Fe–Co–Ni ternary nanocomposites obtained by co-precipitation, followed by the hydrogen reduction led to the formation of better magnetic materials for various magnetically coupled device applications.
