STATEMENT OF GOVERNMENT INTEREST
This disclosure was made with support under grant numbers EEC-0118007 and EEC- 0647452 awarded by the National Science Foundation. The U.S. government has certain rights in the invention.
BACKGROUND The present disclosure relates generally to synthesis of nanocrystals. More specifically, the present disclosure relates to improved methods of making magnetic nanocrystals.
Magnetic nanocrystals, including magnetite (Fe3O4) and maghemite (γ Fe2O3), have been intensively studied because of their unique and tunable magnetic properties. Their magnetic features have found wide spread use in applications including, but not limited to, environmental remediation, magnetic recording and magnetic resonance imaging. For all applications, synthetic techniques which provide, among other things, precise control over nanocrystal grain size may be useful in that they permit engineering of the magnetic properties (e.g. superparamagnetic versus paramagnetic). Additionally, in many cases large quantities of highly monodisperse materials may ultimately be required in order to enable large scale testing and development. Production of nanocrystals with large and permanent magnetic dipole moments may be required for magnetic separations, and such particles may have diameters from about 10 to about 25 nm.
There has been much interest in the development of synthetic methods to produce high quality iron oxide systems. Many traditional approaches to iron oxide colloids have relied on the aqueous precipitation or hydrolysis of Fe2+ and/or Fe3+ salt(s); these materials, however, can be poorly crystalline and polydisperse in many cases. Recently, high quality iron oxide nanomaterials have been generated using high temperature solution phase methods similar to those used for semiconductor quantum dots.

DESCRIPTION
The present disclosure relates generally to synthesis of nanocrystals. More specifically, the present disclosure relates to improved methods of making magnetic nanocrystals.
The present disclosure provides, according to certain embodiments, a method of making magnetic nanocrystals, the method comprising: providing a metal component comprising at least
HOU02:1120468
one metal component selected from the group consisting of: a metal oxide; a metal hydroxide; a metal hydrate; and any combination thereof; providing an oil comprising a free acid; and reacting the metal component and the oil having a free acid at a temperature sufficient to form metal oxide nanocrystals. The methods of the present disclosure may benefit from, among other things, the use of environmentally friendly and relatively inexpensive starting materials. The metal oxide nanocrystals formed, although relatively inexpensive to produce, may be of a high quality and monodisperse. Such metal oxide nanocrystals may be used in applications including, but not limited to, water treatment (e.g., arsenic removal), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), ferrofluids, data storage, sensors, medicinal and diagnostic imaging, drug delivery, catalysis, magnetic and optical devices, and protein separations.
The metal component may comprise any metal component suitable for the production of metal oxide nanocrystals by reaction with an oil comprising a free acid. Examples of such metal components include, but are not limited to, a metal oxide, a metal hydroxide or a metal hydrate. Such metal oxides, metal hydroxides, and metal hydrates may comprise titanium (Ti), zinc (Zn), nickel (Ni), manganese (Mn), cadmium (Cd), and any combination thereof. In a specific example, the metal component comprises iron oxide-hydrates, commonly referred to as "rust." For metal components such as rust, the metal component may be ground into a fine powder before reaction with the oil. One of ordinary skill in the art, with the benefit of the present disclosure, may recognize additional metal components that may be suitable for use in the methods of the present disclosure. Such metal components are still considered within the spirit of the present disclosure.
The oil comprising a free acid may be any oil comprising a free acid and suitable for use in the production of metal oxide nanocrystals by reaction with a metal component. In certain embodiments, the oil comprising a free acid may be a naturally occurring oil. Examples of suitable oils include, but are not limited to, olive oil (glyceryl trioleate and/or oleic acid), coconut oil, corn oil, vegetable oil, oleic acid ((9Z)-octadec-9-enoic acid), linoleic acid ((9Z, 12Z)- octadeca-9, 12-dienoic acid), stearic acid (octadecanoic acid), palmitic acid (hexadecanoic acid), and any combination thereof. For example, in the case of rust, the metal component may be mixed with the oil having a free acid, such as olive oil, to form a 0.1M solution. One of ordinary
HOU02:1120468
skill in the art, with the benefit of the present disclosure, may recognize additional oils that may be suitable for use in the methods of the present disclosure. Such oils are still considered within the spirit of the present disclosure.
In certain embodiments, a solvent may be used in the synthesis of metal oxide nanocrystals. A solvent may be used, among other things, to tailor the size of the metal oxide nanocrystals. For example, 1-octadecene (ODE) may be used to achieve smaller metal oxide nanocrystals.
In certain embodiments, once the metal oxide or metal hydroxide or metal hydrate and oil comprising a free acid are mixed, heat may be applied in an amount sufficient to produce a crystalline structure. For example, when rust and olive oil are reacted, a temperature sufficient to produce a crystalline structure may be about 35O°C. In certain embodiments, the metal oxide nanocrystals formed by the methods of the present disclosure may be purified following their synthesis.
After the metal component and oil having a free acid are at least partially reacted, the resulting metal oxide nanocrystals may be separated from the solution using any technique suitable for such a separation. An example of such a suitable separation technique comprises the use of a polar solvent followed by centrifugation and extraction with a hydrocarbon based solvent, such as hexane. One of ordinary skill in the art, with the benefit of the present disclosure, will recognize additional separation techniques that may be suitable. Such additional separation techniques are still considered within the spirit of the present disclosure.

Example 2
In an example synthesis, oil, vinegar, a pan, CRYSTAL DRAIN OPENER (sodium hydroxide; ROEBIC Laboratories, Orange, Connecticut) and rust were used. First, the oil, CRYSTAL DRAIN OPENER and water were mixed to form a soap. After curing for about 24 hours the soap solidified. For efficient dissolution in subsequent steps, the soap was ground into a fine powder and mixed with vinegar while heating on a conventional stove. Once the soap was dissolved, the solution forms two layers: a yellow (fatty acid) top layer and a cloudy white/yellow bottom layer. The solution was then heated at 110 0C to remove excess water and vinegar by-products. The clear yellow fatty acid components was then collected and mixed with rust. The resulting mixture was heated for 2 hours at below and near boiling temperatures. A TEM micrograph of the nanocrystals formed was obtained after magnetic separation in chloroform and is shown in Figure 2.
Therefore, the present invention is well adapted to attain the ends and advantages mentioned as well as those that are inherent therein. While numerous changes may be made by those skilled in the art, such changes are encompassed within the spirit of this invention as illustrated, in part, by the appended claims.
