Ultrafast microwave-assisted synthesis of MCNCs with high saturation magnetization and sustained aqueous stability

Abstract

A facile and green microwave route was developed to ultra-quickly synthesize magnetite colloidal nanocrystal clusters (MCNCs) by reducing iron(III) chloride with ethylene glycol within 10 min at 150 °C. The obtained uniform MCNCs exhibited excellent crystallinity, saturation magnetization and sustained aqueous stability upon addition of stabilizers.
