Rod-Shaped Magnetite Nano/Microparticles Synthesis at Ambient Temperature

Rod-Shaped Magnetite Nano/Microparticles Synthesis at Ambient Temperature

Here, we reported room temperature synthesis of Fe3O4 rod-shaped nano/microparticles by chemical reduction method from FeCl3 precursor and NaBH4 as the reducing agent in the presence of the pyrrole as a capping agent. The magnetic Fe3O4 particles were characterized by several methods, such as SEM, X...
