Abstract
Stable colloidal suspension of magnetic nanoparticles is challenging owing to both van der Waals forces and magnetic dipolar interactions. Thus, it is essential to coat magnetic nanoparticles with a surfactant during chemical synthesis in order to prepare well-dispersed nanoparticle colloid. In the present study, cobalt nanoparticles (∼15 nm in size) were synthesized with the fatty acid (oleic acid) as a surfactant. The chemical interaction of the surfactant with the Co nanoparticles was studied by using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The results indicated that oleic acid gets chemisorbed as a carboxylate on the Co nanoparticle surfaces, and the two oxygen atoms in the carboxylate are coordinated symmetrically to the Co atoms, leading to the formation of the covalent Co−O bond. This result has implications for the strong interaction between the surfactant and Co nanoparticle, which enhances the stability of Co colloid.
