Co-precipitation in aqueous solution synthesis of magnetite nanoparticles using iron(III) salts as precursors

An innovative quantitative synthetic method for preparing magnetite nanoparticles was achieved by co-precipitation in aqueous solution using only one single iron(III) salt as a precursor. A 2 Fe(III):1 Fe(II) mole ratio was first attained in solution by reducing iron(III) using KI solution, followed...
