One-step solution auto-combustion process for the rapid synthesis of crystalline phase iron oxide nanoparticles with improved magnetic and photocatalytic properties

R. Mithun Prakash et al.

Summary: This paper reports a solution auto-combustion (AC) process for the rapid synthesis of Fe3O4 nanoparticles derived from the sol-gel (SG) process. By using citric acid (CA) and tartaric acid (TA) as gelling agents in the SG process, citric acid acts as a fuel that combusts the gel and yields highly magnetic crystalline Fe3O4 nanoparticles in one step. In contrast, different concentrations of citric acid and any concentrations of tartaric acid do not induce combustion and only result in amorphous iron oxides. Upon annealing, the CA and TA derived iron oxide samples transform into crystalline alpha-Fe2O3 particles. Photocatalytic studies show that the synthesized Fe3O4 nanoparticles exhibit higher photocatalytic efficiency and stability under simulated solar light irradiation.
