SYNTHESIS OF SIZE, STRUCTURE AND SHAPE CONTROLLED IRON BASED MAGNETIC NANOMATERIALS

Abstract Details

2012, Master of Sciences, Case Western Reserve University, Materials Science and Engineering.
Magnetic nanomaterials have attracted great interest in recent years due to their promising properties for biomedical and energy applications. In this research, the synthesis of iron-based magnetic nanoparticles has been investigated. Highly monodispersed iron oxide nanoparticles (magnetite and wüstite) have been synthesized by using the thermal decomposition approach. By using FeO(OH) or Fe(oleate)3 as iron precursor, 1-octadecene as solvent and oleic acid as surfactant, spherical iron oxide nanoparticles with an average diameter of 5 to 30 nm could be prepared. Moreover, FePt nanowires/rods with different length and tetrapods were synthesized by reduction of Pt(acac)2 and decomposition of Fe(CO)5 or Fe(acac)3 as well. In order to transfer iron oxide nanoparticles and FePt nanoparticles into the water phase, a modified silane-coating method was developed by using 3-(triethoxysilyl)propyl succinic anhydride as ligand in basic solution, iron oxide nanoparticles and FePt nanowires could be easily transferred into water.
