Glycol mediated synthesis of Green Rust, its Delamination and Solvothermal Decomposition of the resulting colloidal dispersion to form monodispersed γ-Fe2O3 Nanoparticles

Abstract Hydroxychloride green rust was synthesized by urea hydrolysis of ferric chloride in ethylene glycol. The chloride ions of green rust were then exchanged with the surfactant anion, dodecylsulphate (DS). Surfactant-intercalated green rust (GRDS) delaminated in 1,2-propanediol to give a stable colloidal dispersion of monolayers. Solvothermal decomposition of the colloidal dispersion resulted in monodispersed, single crystalline meghamite, γ-Fe2O3 nanoparticles of ~10 nm diameter.
