The surfactant templated aqueous synthesis of cubic iron oxide nanoparticles with controllable properties for magnetic energy dissipation.
Cubic iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs) are commonly synthesized via thermal decomposition in organic solvents, yielding well-defined particles but requiring complex phase-transfer steps that hinder scalability. In contrast, aqueous co-precipitation offers a simple, cost-effective, and environmentally friendly alternati...
