Size-controlled monodisperse hydrophobic and hydrophilic magnetite nanoparticles: One-pot synthesis, characterization, and the mechanism study

- Monodisperse oil- and water-soluble Fe3O4 nanoparticles are both one-pot prepared.
- The diameter of nanoparticles can both be tuned easily.
- Details about formation processes are studied.
- Their nucleation procedures and nucleation time are different.
