Heating rate influence on the synthesis of iron oxide nanoparticles: the case of decanoic acid.
Iron oxide nanoparticles with uniform sizes between 13 nm and 180 nm can be selectively prepared through the "heating up" thermal decomposition method by using decanoic acid and carefully tuning the heating rate.
