Seed nanocrystals formed by the coprecipitation of ferric and ferrous ions with oleate modification, at the molar ratios of sodium oleate and Fe ion [SO]/[Fe] from 0.05 to 0.5, were subjected to a hydrothermal treatment at 100−230 °C to initiate the crystal growth. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy revealed that these nanocrystals were stabilized by a surface oleate that formed a stable colloidal solution in various nonpolar solvents such as cyclohexane and benzene. An X-ray diffraction analysis showed that the higher hydrothermal temperatures and lower oleate concentration promoted the Ostwald ripening process to produce highly crystallized iron oxide nanocrystals based on a cation deficient magnetite polymorph. Transmission electron microscopy revealed that the oleate concentrations played an important role in controlling the nucleation and growth process; it was found that the lower oleate concentration was the preferable growth condition to produce uniformly sized and shaped nanoparticles with h...
