Synthesis of cobalt ferrite nanoparticles in continuous-flow microreactors

Abstract

High quality CoFe2O4 nanoparticles were synthesized only in 16 min, continuously in two coupled microreactors. The first microreactor induced the fast homogenization of the reagents mixture at ambient temperature so Fe3+ and Co2+ hydroxides precipitate, while a second microreactor heated at 98 °C allowed the fast aging and the evolution of amorphous hydroxides into faceted and crystalline CoFe2O4.
