Abstract:
We report a simple strategy for the growth of ultra-thin magnetite nanoplates. The injection of a large portion of precursor after stunted nucleation is favorable for both the survival of metastable structures in seeds and their subsequent development into anisotropic nanoparticles. The as-synthesized ultrathin triangular magnetite nanoplates are expected to have important applications as T1 contrast agents for magnetic resonance imaging.
