This study emphasizes the role of surfactants in the solvothermal synthesis of α-Fe₂O₃ nanoparticles, uncovering a novel connection between particle morphology and functional properties. By precisely adjusting surfactant concentrations (sodium hydroxide and acetic acid), the hematite particle morphology transitions from irregular shapes to uniform, plate-like structures. This transformation significantly enhances magnetic anisotropy, resulting in high coercivity (H_C = 1725 Oe, above the Morin transition T_M = 263 K) in the plate-like hematite nanoparticles, whereas irregularly shaped hematite nanoparticles exhibit coercivities of 235 Oe and 256 Oe (above the Morin transition T_M = 251 and T_M = 239 K, respectively). Furthermore, the study establishes a clear relationship between hematite nanoparticle shape and MRI relaxivity.
