Abstract
This research presents a comprehensive investigation into the synthesis and characterization of magnetite nanoparticles through solution combustion reactions ignited by conventional means. In addition to the structural and compositional findings, this study's main investigation results include the specific surface area measurements conducted using the BET method. The analysis revealed specifi c surface area values for the synthesized magnetite nanoparticles at varying propellant-to-oxidant ratios, demonstrating a substantial decrease in specific surface area as the ratio increased. Specifically, specific surface areas of 72.203 m2/g for the 1:1 ratio, 22.240 m2/g for the 1:1.5 ratio, and 9.204 m2/g for the 1:2 ratio were determined. Furthermore, calculations based on the BET results and assuming spherical magnetite nanoparticles provided average particle sizes of 16±1 nm for the 1:1 ratio, 51±2 nm for the 1:1.5 ratio, and 125±4 nm for the 1:2 ratio. These findings highlight the impact of synthesis parameters on the nanoparticles' surface area and size, shedding light on their potential applications in various fields, including nanomedicine and magnetic diagnostics. Overall, this research contributes valuable insights into the synthesis, characterization, and tunable properties of magnetite nanoparticles, offering potential avenues for their utilization across diverse industries.
