The versatility of a promising and repeatable oleate-based solvothermal approach has been explored through the synthesis of MnFe₂O₄ and -Fe₂O₃/Fe₃O₄ nanoparticles in form of colloidal dispersions and the tuning of the particle and crystallite sizes. Spinel ferrite nanoparticles with controlled-size in the range 7-14 nm with dispersity below 15% was reached for both MnFe₂O₄ and λ-Fe₂O₃/Fe₃O₄. The size-tuning was obtained with three different pathways: (i) direct approach by changing the solvent polarity or the precursor concentration; (ii) post-synthesis solvothermal treatment in the presence of metal oleates; (iii) post-synthesis solvothermal treatment in the absence of metal oleates.

Artificial nano-heterostructures (NHs) with controlled morphology, obtained by combining two or more components in several possible architectures, make them suitable for a wide range of applications. Here, we propose an oleate-based solvothermal approach to design silver-spinel ferrite flower-like NHs. Small oleate-coated silver nanoparticles were used as seeds for the growth of magnetic spinel ferrite (cobalt ferrite and spinel iron oxide) nanodomains on their surface.

Herein, user-friendly control of the synthesis of sub-10 nm hexagonal (β-) NaYbF:Er nanocrystals (NCs) with extremely low-level Gd doping (0%, 10 mol%) was achieved. We reveal for the first time that the effective sodium/fluoride levels during the formation of cubic (α-) nuclei are not only controlled by the sodium/fluoride to rare-earth precursor ratios used, but also sensitively restricted by the NaF generation reaction in a sodium oleate-based solvothermal system. Excessive NaF generation will lead to a respective sodium- and fluoride-deficient environment, delayed α-to-β transition and larger β-NCs.
