Abstract

Magnetite (Fe₃O₄), with an inverse spinel structure, grows naturally in octahedral shape with eight equivalent {111} crystallographic planes. Here we demonstrated the successful morphology tuning of Fe ₃O₄ microcrystal from the dominant octahedral shape to planar microplate shape by a facile hydrothermal method. The top and bottom surfaces of Fe₃O₄ microplates obtained under strongly alkaline and reductive conditions were bounded by {111} facets, and the formation of {111} twin planes was thought to be accountable for the anisotropic morphologies. The obtained Fe₃O₄ microplates delivered saturation magnetization (M_s) of 96.6 emu/g and coercivity (H _c) of 50 Oe. We also measured the electromagnetic properties of Fe₃O₄ microplates for possible applications as filler for electromagnetic wave absorption coatings.
