Fine-tuning the superparamagnetic (SPM) properties of iron oxide nanoparticles (NPs) through precise control over size, shape, and assembly into superclusters is essential for advanced biomedical and electronic applications. We first analyzed the size-dependent magnetic properties of FeO@FeO core/shell NPs in both spherical and cubic shapes prepared via the thermal decomposition of iron(III) oleate. The detailed analyses of structure, composition, and crystallinity confirmed the presence of both FeO and FeO phases and the formation of the core/shell structure, with an increasing FeO/FeO phase ratio correlated with larger particle size. Overall, the SPM properties of these core/shell NPs were maintained, although saturation magnetization and varied with size, shape, and FeO/FeO ratio. Notably, iron oxide nanocubes exhibited enhanced saturation magnetization compared to their spherical counterparts. Next, we introduced a unique strategy to enhance and fine-tune the SPM properties of FeO@FeO NPs by assembling them into supercluster particles to promote interparticle interaction. By controlling the size and shape of the primary nanocrystals, we demonstrated the creation of SPM superclusters of consistent sizes, including the 150 and 240 nm superclusters reported here, which exhibit different SPM behaviors. Our research presents a synthetic strategy for optimizing the SPM properties of iron oxide NPs and their superclusters across a wide range of magnetically driven applications, especially useful for biomedical technologies.
通过精确控制尺寸、形状以及组装成超团簇来微调氧化铁纳米颗粒(NPs)的超顺磁性(SPM)特性,对于先进的生物医学和电子应用至关重要。我们首先分析了通过油酸铁热分解制备的球形和立方体形FeO@FeO核壳纳米颗粒的尺寸依赖性磁性。对结构、组成和结晶度的详细分析证实了FeO和FeO相的存在以及核壳结构的形成,FeO/FeO相比率的增加与更大的粒径相关。总体而言,这些核壳纳米颗粒的SPM特性得以保持,尽管饱和磁化强度随尺寸、形状和FeO/FeO比而变化。值得注意的是,氧化铁纳米立方体与其球形对应物相比表现出增强的饱和磁化强度。接下来,我们引入了一种独特的策略,通过将FeO@FeO纳米颗粒组装成超团簇颗粒以促进颗粒间相互作用,来增强和微调其SPM特性。通过控制初级纳米晶体的尺寸和形状,我们展示了创建尺寸一致的SPM超团簇,包括此处报道的150和240nm超团簇,它们表现出不同的SPM行为。我们的研究提出了一种合成策略,用于在广泛的磁驱动应用中优化氧化铁纳米颗粒及其超团簇的SPM特性,对生物医学技术特别有用。
