Abstract

The effect of molar ratio of two hydrated iron salts used as precursors into a (co)precipitation-based synthesis method, on the composition, size and specific saturation magnetization of mixed iron oxides and oxyhydroxides magnetic nanoparticles as reaction products, was studied. The preparation procedure is based on a salt-assisted solid-state chemical reaction. The obtained products are magnetic multiphase components with the mean size ranging from 3 to 10 nm and specific saturation magnetization between 25 and 95.5 emu/g. The specific saturation magnetization modifies in a non-linear manner as the molar ratio of the iron salts varies. Excepting one sample, for which Fe2+/Fe3+ molar ratio was zero, all magnetic nanoparticles show a ferrofluid-like behaviour in the colloidal form. The small size, ferrofluid-like behaviour, and controlled specific saturation magnetization allow the use of new synthesized nanoparticles in specific biomedical or industrial applications.
