Abstract: Abstract: The micro-nano magnetite particles (Fe3O4) with hydrophilic, good distribution, superparamagnetic and different shape were synthesized using a solvothermal method, where FeCl3 ? 6H2O as iron source, ethylene glycol or 1,2-propylene glycol as solvent, PEG as surfactant, and NaOH or KOH as the alkali source. Their morphologies, structures, and magnetism were characterized. The results showed that the products all were cubic phase of Fe3O4, with an adjustable particle size from 20nm to 600nm. We observed that the influences on the morphology of the alkali type and amount, reaction time, solvent and other conditions and found that the amount of alkali was the greatest impact. In this paper, the processes of formation of different morphologies Fe3O4 were discussed, and a reasonable mechanism is also briefly suggested. The resulting Fe3O4 particles with superparamagnetic property at room temperature can basically to meet the biomedical requirements.
