Abstract
Iron sulfide particles were prepared using a polyol method; a mixture of ferrocene, 1,2-hexadecanediol (HD), and 1-octadecanethiol in oleylamine were heated to obtain particles. The particles were investigated using Mössbauer spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and powder X-ray diffraction. Hexagonal plate shaped Fe1−x S particles with sizes of 2–3 μm were obtained in the solvent without HD, whereas 100–200 nm Fe2S3 particles were obtained in the presence of HD. The Fe2S3 particles were transformed to Fe3S4 (greigite) by heating at 100 °C.
