General description

Iron(II,III) oxide nanopowder is a fine powder composed of iron oxide particles with a size ranging from 50-100 nm. It is also known as ferrous ferric oxide or ferrosoferric oxide. Iron(II,III) oxide is a reddish-brown, magnetic material that is stable and chemically inert. It is commonly used as a pigment in paints, coatings, and ceramics, and it is also used as a catalyst in many chemical reactions. As a nanopowder form, this iron(II,III) oxide has a large surface area, which makes it more effective as a catalyst.

Application

Iron(II,III) oxide (Fe3O4) can be used as a heterogeneous catalyst for the Fenton type oxidation of rhodamine B.[1] It can be used as an anode material for the fabrication of lithium-ion batteries.[2] Fe3O4 can also be utilized in the catalysis of the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) in the anion exchange membrane fuel cell.[3]

Questions

1–9 of 9 Questions  
  1. What is the specific surface area of product 637106 Iron (II,III) oxide ?

    1 answer
    1. As mentioned in the 'PROPERTIES' section above, this material as an estimated surface area of 6-8 m2/g.

      Helpful?

  2. How can I determine the shelf life / expiration / retest date of this product?

    1 answer
    1. If this product has an expiration or retest date, it will be shown on the Certificate of Analysis (COA, CofA). If there is no retest or expiration date listed on the product's COA, we do not have suitable stability data to determine a shelf life. For these products, the only date on the COA will be the release date; a retest, expiration, or use-by-date will not be displayed.
      For all products, we recommend handling per defined conditions as printed in our product literature and website product descriptions. We recommend that products should be routinely inspected by customers to ensure they perform as expected.
      For products without retest or expiration dates, our standard warranty of 1 year from the date of shipment is applicable.
      For more information, please refer to the Product Dating Information document: https://www.sigmaaldrich.com/deepweb/assets/sigmaaldrich/marketing/global/documents/449/386/product-dating-information-mk.pdf

  3. How is shipping temperature determined? And how is it related to the product storage temperature?

    1 answer
    1. Products may be shipped at a different temperature than the recommended long-term storage temperature. If the product quality is sensitive to short-term exposure to conditions other than the recommended long-term storage, it will be shipped on wet or dry-ice. If the product quality is NOT affected by short-term exposure to conditions other than the recommended long-term storage, it will be shipped at ambient temperature. As shipping routes are configured for minimum transit times, shipping at ambient temperature helps control shipping costs for our customers. For more information, please refer to the Storage and Transport Conditions document: https://www.sigmaaldrich.com/deepweb/assets/sigmaaldrich/marketing/global/documents/316/622/storage-transport-conditions-mk.pdf

  4. what is the Iron concentration in ug/ul of Product 637106?

    1 answer
    1. This product is in powder form. The density is 4.8-5.1 g/mL at 25 °C (lit.), with an average of 4.95 g/mL. The iron content is tested on a lot-to-lot basis. For lot# MKCV7594, the iron content is 66.5%, and the purity is 97%. Therefore, the iron concentration is calculated as 4.95 x 66.5% x 97% = 3.19 g/mL = 3190 µg/µL.

  6. How can the nanopowder Iron(II,III) oxide, Product 637106, be dispersed in an aqueous solution?

    1 answer
    1. 1. It is recommended to use a neutral buffered solution (approximately pH 7). The pH of the solution is an important factor in achieving a monodispersion of the nanopowder.2. Probe-type ultrasonication is strongly recommended by the manufacturer.3. If the material is not well dispersed by ultrasonication in a neutral buffer, add a surfactant. This will wet the nanoparticle surface. Since the particles are small (less than 50 nm), they have a high surface area to volume ratio. They can therefore absorb gases such as oxygen or carbon dioxide from the air, which would decrease the dispersity of the particles. Degassing the buffer before use may help to eliminate the formation of gas bubbles.
