Magnetite (Fe3O4) nanoparticles were synthesized using different capping agents. The size, oxidation, and fraction of Fe atoms in relation to saturation magnetization (Ms) were studied. Various techniques were used to analyze the effects, and the results showed that the capping agents influenced the size, oxidation, and fraction of Fe atoms. Statistical analysis revealed that Ms was highly dependent on the fraction of Fe atoms and the size of the nanoparticles. There was no direct correlation between Fe oxidation and Ms. (c) 2022 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
Magnetite (Fe3O4) nanoparticles were synthesized by one-pot coprecipitation method using five different capping agents: Sodium citrate, Poly vinyl pyrrolidone (PVP), Chitosan, Cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) and Citric acid. The influence of the various capping agents on the size, oxidation and fraction of Fe atoms occupying Octahedral against Tetrahedral sites in relation to the saturation magnetization (Ms) of the magnetite nanoparticles were studied. X-ray Absorption Fine Structure (XAFS) spectroscopy, X-ray Absorption Near Edge Structure (XANES), X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), Fourier-Transform Infra-Red (FTIR) spectroscopy, Zeta potential, and Vibrating Sample Magnetometery (VSM) are used to study the various effects. The results reveal that the capping agents affect the size, oxidation and ratio of Fe atoms occupying octahedral vs tetrahedral site. The graph of Ms against size, oxidation and fraction of Fe atoms are plotted. Statistical analysis shows that Ms of the magnetite nano -particles is highly dependent on the fraction of Fe atoms and the Size of the nanoparticles. The results reveal the Ms increases with size of the nanoparticles but decreases with the fraction of Fe atoms occupying octahedral vs tetrahedral site. However, there is no direct correlation between oxidation of Fe and Ms.(c) 2022 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
