Abstract
Iron nanocubes with a diameter of about 200–400 nm were fabricated by reduction of ferrous sulfate with hydrazine in the solvent of ethylenediamine. During the reaction process, ethylenediamine acted as the solvent, complexant, and structure-directing agent, which was crucial for the formation of the cubes. Thus-prepared iron nanocubes exhibited a high saturation magnetism (Ms) of 690 emu/g, much superior to that of bulk or nanoparticulate counterpart.Keywords
