Popis: This paper deals with problematic of preparation of iron oxide nanoparticles according to a self-combustion method. Iron oxide nanoparticles can be used e.g. for catalysators and gas sensors or in MRI. The Self-combustion method is based on rapid chemical reaction between a fuel and iron oxide precursor. Glycine, urea and citric acid were used as fuels and iron nitrate nonahydrate was used as an iron oxide precursor. The self-combustion method doesn't require any special equipment, is environment-friendly due to minimize pollution and the results are easily reproducible. The shape, size, and phase of resulting particles were investigated studied using scanning electron microscopy and energy-dispersive analysis.
