Synthesis and Spectral Characterization of Iron Based Micro and Nanoparticles

Abstract

Nanotechnology is gaining tremendous impulsion in the present century due to its capability of modulating metals into their nanosize. They exhibit a high surface/volume ratio leading to different properties far different from those of the bulk materials. The development of uniform nanoparticles has been intensively pursued because of their technological and fundamental scienti?c importance. The use of iron-based technologies is a rapidly developing field, with a range of techniques proposed which make use of iron as a reductant, or as a sorbent, which have been tested at various scales of application. In this study the iron based materials were synthesized by precipitation method and characterized with SEM equipped with EDS, UV-VIS, FT-IR, Raman, particle size determination and Zeta potential.
