The invention relates to a method for preparing
iron oxide particles having controllable morphology and size. The method comprises the following steps: 1, adding a surfactant into an
organic solvent,fully stirring the surfactant and the
organic solvent to obtain a uniformly dispersed suspension, adding an inorganic alkali and a
soluble iron salt into the suspension, and fully stirring the inorganic alkali, the
soluble iron salt and the suspension until the inorganic alkali and the
soluble iron salt are completely dissolved; 2, pouring a solution prepared in step 1 into a closed heating container, and carrying out a
thermal reaction; and 3, separating a precipitate in the obtained reaction solution through a centrifuging or
magnet process, repeatedly washing the precipitate with
ethanol and deionized water, and carrying out
vacuum drying to obtain a black
solid which is the final product. The accurate and highly-efficient regulation of the size and the morphology of nano-particles is realized through adjusting the proportion of the reaction
solvent and the addition amount of the inorganic alkali under same
reaction conditions, the size of the obtained particles is 20-400 nm, and
solid particles, nano-clusters, triangular prisms, regular octahedrons and other various morphologies can be obtained. The preparation method has the advantages of simplicity, and green and environmentally-friendly raw materials and technology, the product has the advantages of high
crystallinity, stable structure,
uniform size and
gram level reaching yield, and the preparation method is of great guidance significance to preparing magnetic nano-particles.
