Abstract

-mediated methods are utilized to prepare FeCo alloy NPs in a direct manner. Multi-core nanostructures were also synthesized, and they are very promising for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and magnetic hyperthermia (MH) applications. The post-synthesis thermal treatment helped to convert ferrites to an iron-cobalt alloy, with the expense of significant particle size increase and aggregation. Alloy particles formed in a one-pot synthesis by polyol routes had a >100 nm size and hexagonal shape, while hydrogen-assisted reduction led to monodisperse ∼30 nm NPs with remarkable MH properties.
