Resumo
This study reports the successful production of both isometric and anisometric iron oxide-based
nanoparticles using, respectively, ammonia and urea for co-precipitating Fe2+/Fe3+ from aqueous
solution. Spherical nanoparticles (SNPs) with 10–20 nm in diameter are obtained using ammonia under
reflux from 1 h to 9 h, with their relative magnetite/maghemite content decreasing from 10 to 0.05.
However, using a lower and higher concentration of urea under reflux from 1 h to 12 h results in rod-like
nanoparticles (RNPs) with length/width varying from 40/16 to 80/20 nm and hexagonal nanoparticles
(HNPs) with diagonal varying from 150 to 100 nm, respectively. For RNPs (HNPs) the relative magnetite/
goethite content increases with refluxing time from 0.25 to 2 (1.25 to 3.75). Hysteresis cycles (300 K)
show unblocked SNPs and blocked RNPs and HNPs with coercivity (remanence) increasing with
refluxing time from 55 to 80 Oe (1 to 5 emu g 1) and 70 to 130 Oe (5 to 13 emu g 1), respectively.
Saturation magnetization of SNPs, RNPs and HNPs spans from 50 to 65 emu g 1, 12 to 60 emu g 1 and
57 to 80 emu g 1, respectively. Under AC magnetic field (522 kHz), with amplitude ranging from 70 to
310 Oe, SNPs show a strong hyperthermia effect, following HNPs with mild and RNPs with weak effects.
