The formation of iron oxide nanoparticles in a solvothermal synthesis with two different nonaqueous solvents, benzyl alcohol (BA) and triethylene glycol (TEG), was studied. Additionally, a scale-up of the synthesis from lab scale autoclaves (45 mL volume) to a 1.5 L reactor was performed. The differences in both reaction vessels as well as for both solvents were investigated regarding the particle size and crystallinity, the magnetic properties, and the stability of the produced particles. A two-step mechanism was identified, with a fast particle formation step and a distinct, slower crystallization step resulting in a strong increase in magnetization. Strong differences in the particle formation between the two reaction media were identified. The stability of the produced particles against agglomeration was screened by a qualitative comparison of sedimentation time in different polar and nonpolar solvents.
