Revista de la Academia Colombiana de Ciencias Exactas, Físicas y Naturales, 2020

In the last decade, magnetic nanomaterials have been widely used in the fields of chemistry, physics, engineering, and medicine due to their optical, magnetic, and conductive properties, and as contrast agents in magnetic resonance. Their influence in the treatment of cancerous tumors has been evaluated and has sparked great interest in its use in environmental repair systems such as magnetic absorbers that trap metal particles and some contaminants. Here we analyze the influence of process parameters to obtain magnetic nanoparticles under three chemical synthesis methods. Its morphological characterization was performed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), its elemental composition by energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), and its structure by x-ray diffraction (XRD). Our results showed that the obtention method had a great influence as evidenced by the variability in nanoparticle sizes. It is worth highlighting that we obtained particles at a nanometric scale, especially Fe3O4 (m...

Preparation of magnetic nanoparticles by one step synthesis with morphology of particles changed based on time of reaction and temperature treatment

Journal of Experimental Nanoscience, 2020

In present study, nanosized iron oxides particles are synthetised by easy one step precipitation from Mohric salt (NH 4) 2 Fe(SO 4) 2 Á6H 2 O reacting with sodium hydroxide solution in temperature up to 60 C. When changing the time of reaction, the iron oxide particles of different shape are prepared and when drying wet extracted particles at elevated temperature of 60 C the change of 2D shaped morphology is observed. Depending on the time of reaction different ratios of FeOOH and Fe 3 O 4 are obtained in this study. DTA-TGA, XRD, FTIR and SEM are used for the characterisation of particles in this study.

Preparation and Properties of Various Magnetic Nanoparticles

Sensors, 2009

The fabrications of iron oxides nanoparticles using co-precipitation and gadolinium nanoparticles using water in oil microemulsion method are reported in this paper. Results of detailed phase analysis by XRD and Mössbauer spectroscopy are discussed. XRD analysis revealed that the crystallite size (mean coherence length) of iron oxides (mainly γ-Fe 2 O 3) in the Fe 2 O 3 sample was 30 nm, while in Fe 2 O 3 /SiO 2 where the ε-Fe 2 O 3 phase dominated it was only 14 nm. Gd/SiO 2 nanoparticles were found to be completely amorphous, according to XRD. The samples showed various shapes of hysteresis loops and different coercivities. Differences in the saturation magnetization (MS) correspond to the chemical and phase composition of the sample materials. However, we observed that MS was not reached in the case of Fe 2 O 3 /SiO 2 , while for Gd/SiO 2 sample the MS value was extremely low. Therefore we conclude that only unmodified Fe 2 O 3 nanoparticles are suitable for intended biosensing application in vitro (e.g. detection of viral nucleic acids) and the phase purification of this sample for this purpose is not necessary.

Growth and characterizations of magnetic nanoparticles under hydrothermal conditions: Reaction time and temperature

Journal of Magnetism and Magnetic Materials, 2014

Different size of iron oxide nanoparticles were synthesized via hydrothermal process. The change of the size of nanoparticles with reaction temperatures (60, 100, 150, and 180°C) was investigated. To have further insight into the growth of nanoparticles, the different reaction times were also studied at the temperatures of 100, 150, and 180°C. The structural characterization was carried out with X-ray diffractometer and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The nanoparticles were found to have high crystalline iron oxides with a mixture of magnetite and maghemite crystalline phases. With the increase of the nanoparticle size, the ratio of magnetite to maghemite phase increased and reached to a pure magnetite phase for the 123 ± 44 nm particles. When the reaction temperature increased from 100 to 180°C for 12 h, the size of the nanoparticles increased from 14.5 ± 4 to 29.9 ± 9 nm according to transmission electron microscopy analysis. At 180°C, as the reaction time increased from 1 to 48 h, the size of nanoparticles increased from 20.6 ± 6 to 123 ± 44 nm. This means that the reaction times are more effective on the growth of the nanoparticles at high temperatures. Magnetic analysis by vibrating sample magnetometer showed that the nanoparticles are ferrimagnetic. By considering all nanoparticles, the saturation magnetization increased as the size of the nanoparticle increased. And the high size of nanoparticles reached the high saturation magnetization value at low applied magnetic fields. The structural and magnetic properties of the nanoparticles are found to be depending on the nanoparticle sizes which are substantially affected by the reaction temperature and time.

Characterization and Chemical Stability of Hydrophilic and Hydrophobic Magnetic Nanoparticles

Materials Research

Magnetic nanoparticles can improve the efficiency of phase separation time in multi-stage operations when a magnetic field is present. As such operations involve contact with aqueous and/or organic solutions, hydrophilic magnetic nanoparticles synthesized through the co-precipitation method were functionalized with oleic acid to attain hydrophobic magnetic nanoparticles. Both nanoparticles were characterized morphologically, chemically and magnetically. The results revealed that the particles (size ≈ 10 nm) consisted of an iron oxide mixture of magnetite and maghemite. The functionalization with oleic acid was effective in converting them into hydrophobic nanoparticles. Both particles were ferro/ferrimagnetic and the presence of oleic acid did not interfere significantly in the saturation magnetization value. The chemical stability of both nanoparticles were also evaluated, as an attempt of simulating broad industrial conditions to which the nanoparticles may be subjected; the hydrophilic nanoparticles were resistant at pH ≥ 4, while the hydrophobic nanoparticles were stable at pH ≥ 3.
