要旨

We present here a detailed overview on the effect of various synthesis parameters during the synthesis of iron oxide nanoparticles with different shapes, through decomposition of a preformed iron oleate complex, at high temperature. While this procedure has been previously shown to produce monodisperse magnetite spheres, the use of specific additives is demonstrated to allow for the preparation of strongly faceted iron oxide nanocrystals, with either cubic or octahedral shapes. Additionally, using squalene or octadecene as solvents was found to induce the reduction of the iron precursors and thereby lead to the formation of nanoparticles with core/shell (in the case of nanocubes) or island-like structures (in the case of octahedrons).

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
