Scalable Production of Iron Oxide Nanowhiskers

Scalable Production of Iron Oxide Nanowhiskers

We reported the scalable production of iron oxide nanowhiskers from 250 mL laboratory scale to 10 L reactor reaction. During the scale-up process, the reaction time was found to be a critical parameter to adjust for the production of iron oxide nanowhiskers with similar quality to that of the labora...
