Facile microwave synthesis of various-shaped magnetite/ reduced graphene oxide heterostructures and their magnetization properties.

ABSTRACT: Heterostructures of magnetite (Fe₃O₄) nanoparticles and reduced graphene oxide (RGO) sheets are very common composite materials for different applications such as catalysis, energy storage, and biomedicine. Developing methods for the facile control of the size and shape of both freestanding Fe₃O₄ nanoparticles and those anchored onto RGO sheets is in demand. Herein, we report on the rapid and facile microwave synthesis (MWS) of Fe₃O₄ nanoparticles and Fe₃O₄/RGO with various sizes and shapes using the oleylamine (OAm)/oleic acid (OAc) ligand pair. The solvothermal synthesis using microwave irradiation (MWI) resulted in the concurrent conversion of graphene oxide (GO) into RGO and the in-situ formation of
