Hydrothermal synthesis of superparamagnetic Fe{sub 3}O{sub 4} nanoparticles with ionic liquids as stabilizer
Highlights: • Superparamagnetic Fe{sub 3}O{sub 4} nanoparticles with good dispersity have been synthesized via hydrothermal method. • Ionic liquid [C{sub 16}mim]Cl acts as stabilizer for the Fe{sub 3}O{sub 4} nanoparticles. • Fe{sub 3}O{sub 4} nanoparticles have a saturation magnetization of 67.69 emu/g at 300 K. - Abstract: Superparamagnetic Fe{sub 3}O{sub 4} nanoparticles have been successfully synthesized under hydrothermal condition with the assistant of ionic liquid 1-hexadecyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride ([C{sub 16}mim]Cl). The structure and morphology of the sample have been investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectra (XPS), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and high-resolution TEM (HRTEM), and the results indicate that the as-synthesized inverse spinel Fe{sub 3}O{sub 4} nanoparticles have an average diameter of about 10 nm and exhibit relatively good dispersity. More importantly, it is found that [C{sub 16}mim]Cl acts as stabilizer for the Fe{sub 3}O{sub 4} nanoparticles by adsorbing on the particles surfaces to prevent the agglomeration. In addition, the obtained superparamagnetic Fe{sub 3}O{sub 4} nanoparticles have a saturation magnetization of 67.69 emu/g at 300 K.
