Monodispersed superparamagnetic magnetite (Fe₃O₄) sub-microspheres with controlled grain sizes and diameters were obtained by a facile polyol solvothermal method using sodium citrate as an additive. The results show that citric ions, which strongly coordinate with iron atoms on the surface of magnetite, can be effectively adsorbed onto the surface of Fe₃O₄ nanoparticles. Therefore, the growth of the initially formed Fe₃O₄ nanoparticles is restrained and the electrostatic repulsive force changes. Consequently, both the diameter and the magnetic properties of the resultant Fe₃O₄ sub-microspheres can be easily tuned over a relative large range. Simply changing the concentration of citric or ferric ions can change both the diameter of the Fe₃O₄ nanoparticles which construct the resultant sub-microspheres as building blocks and that of the resultant sub-microspheres in a range of 220 -550 nm, resulting in monodispersed superparamagnetic magnetite sub-microspheres.
