The thermal decomposition of organometallic compounds was used to synthesize magnetite nanoparticles in high boiling point organic solvent containing stabilizing surfactants. Iron (III) acetylacetonate was used as the organometallic precursor in this work. Thermal decomposition of cationic metal center leads directly to the metal oxide, in the presence of 1,2-hexadecanediol, oleylamine, and oleic acid in diphenyl ether. Characterization with the Particle Size Analyzer (PSA) showed the size of the obtained magnetite nanoparticles was 2.1 ± 0.9 nm with polydispersity index of 0.327. The morphology and chemical structure of the obtained magnetite nanoparticle was characterized by using of Transmition Electron Microscopy (TEM) and Fourier-Transformed Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. The application of magnetite nanoparticles in the industrial wastewater treatment was also discussed.

An easy onepot reaction for the synthesis of iron oxide nanoparticles is reported. Thermal decomposition of iron acetyl acetonate (Fe(acac)3) in diphenyl ether, in the presence of oleic acid and oleyl amine followed by calcination, leads to the formation of iron oxide nanoparticles. Variation of concentration of the oleyl amine during the synthesis affects the morphology of the iron oxide nanoparticles produced.

The magnetite nanoparticles (Fe3O4) are very promising nanomaterials to be applied as drug delivery due to their excellent superparamagnetic, biocompatibility and easily modified surface properties. Those properties are influenced by the structure and size of the material which can be controlled by studying the evolution of crystal growth. The purpose of this research is to study the evolution of crystal growth of magnetite nanoparticles in the hydrothermal system and determine the crystal growth kinetics using the Oriented Attachment Growth model. Magnetite nanoparticles were synthesized using a hydrothermal method from FeCl3, citrate, urea and polyethylene glycol at 210˚C for 1 - 12 hours at a various concentration of FeCl3 (0.05 M, 0.10 M, and 0.15 M). The characterizations were conducted by X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM), Particle size analyzer (PSA), and Vibrating Sample Magnetometer (VSM). The XRD difractogram  indicated that the magnetite was begun to form at 3.5 hours synthesis. The crystallinity and the crystal size of magnetite rose with reaction time. The diameter of magnetite crystals was in the range of 9.4-30 nm. Characterization by TEM showed that the particles were formed from a smaller particles which were then agglomerated. The PSA characterization showed that the distribution of diameter size enlarged with the enhancement of  concentrations. VSM result showed that the magnetite nanoparticle has superparamagnetic properties. The magnetite crystal growth can be fitted by the Oriented Attachment Growth model with an error of 29%.

We report on the oxidation of a magnetic fluid. The oxidation results in magnetic super lattice crystals. The “atoms” are hematite (α-Fe2O3) particles with a diameter ø = 6.9 nm and they are covered with a 1-2 nm thick layer of surfactant molecules.Magnetic fluids are homogeneous suspensions of small magnetic particles in a carrier liquid. To prevent agglomeration, the particles are coated with surfactant molecules. The magnetic fluid studied in this work was produced by thermal decomposition of Fe(CO)5 in Declin (carrier liquid) in the presence of oleic acid (surfactant). The magnetic particles consist of an amorphous iron-carbon alloy. For TEM investigation a droplet of the fluid was added to benzine and a carbon film on a copper net was immersed. When exposed to air the sample starts burning. The oxidation and electron irradiation transform the magnetic particles into hematite (α-Fe2O3) particles with a median diameter ø = 6.9 nm.

We have successfully demonstrated a facile, solvent-free synthesis of highly crystalline and monodisperse Fe3O4 nanocrystallites at ambient temperature avoiding any heating. Solid state reaction of inorganic Fe(II) and Fe(III) salts with NaOH was found to produce highly crystalline Fe3O4 nanoparticles. The reaction, if carried out in the presence of surfactant such as oleic acid–oleylamine adduct, generated monodisperse Fe3O4 nanocrystals extractable directly from the reaction mixture. The extracted nanoparticles were capable of forming self-assembled, two-dimensional and uniform periodic array. The new process utilizes inexpensive and nontoxic starting materials, and does not require a use of high boiling point and toxic solvents, thus is amenable to an environmentally desirable, large-scale synthesis of nanocrystals.

The functional magnetite nanoparticles are one of the most important functional materials for nucleic acid separation. Cell lysis and magnetic separation are two essential steps involve in optimizing nucleic acid extraction using the magnetic beads method. Many coating materials, coupling agents, chemical cell lysis, and several methods have been proposed to produce the specific desired properties for nucleic acid extraction. The important properties, such as biocompatibility, stability, linking ability, hydrophobicity, and biodegradable, were considered. The appropriate coating material of magnetite core and coupling agent are necessary to give biomolecules a possibility to link with each other through chemical conjugation. In this review, progress in functional magnetite nanoparticles to optimize the high binding performance in nucleic acid extraction is discussed.

Considerable work is being carried out recently to develop nanomaterials which can act as photocatalyst under sunlight. In the present study, ZnO@CuS core–shell nanocomposites were synthesized and their photocatalytic activity has been investigated. The nanocomposites were prepared by thermal decomposition of a single molecular precursor, cyclo-tri-μ-thioacetamide-tris(chlorocopper(I)) complex ([Cu3TAA3Cl3]), in the presence of ZnO nanorods in diphenyl ether at 200 °C. The effect of reaction time and precursor concentration on copper sulfide shell formation have been investigated. The ZnO@CuS core–shell nanocomposites were characterized using different techniques such as XRD, FE-SEM, TEM, FT-IR, UV-Vis, DRS and XPS. As compared to bare ZnO nanorods, the ZnO@CuS nanocomposites show better photocatalytic activity towards degradation of congo red in an aqueous solution under sunlight.

High encapsulation efficiency of magnetite nanoparticles (MNPs; Fe3O4) in microcapsules using PDVB as a hydrophobic polymer shell was successfully achieved by microsuspension conventional radical polymerization (ms CRP). MNPs were initially synthesized by co-precipitation of Fe2+/Fe3+ in a binary phase. During the nucleation of MNPs in alkaline aqueous solution existing oleic acid (OA), MNPs were coated with OA (MNPs-OA) before moving to the toluene phase with the addition of salt. At OA concentration of 0.3 wt%, most of the nucleated MNPs were hydrophobic and well dispersed in the toluene phase. Using DVB as a monomer for ms CRP, high encapsulation efficiency (92 %EE) of MNPs-OA was obtained, with low free polymer particle formation. By contrast, large amounts of free polymer particles were observed at low %EE (32%) of MNPs. The main driving force for high %EE was obtained by coating the surface of the MNPs by OA which increased hydrophobicity.
