Synthesis of magnetite nanoparticles using electrochemical oxidation by Ye. Ya. Levitin, I. D. Roy, O. S. Kryskiv, T. M. Chan

“…To intensify the anodic process it is necessary to apply the mixing that reduces the thickness of the diffusion layer near the electrode and allows oxidation at a current density of 0.7-1.2 A/dm2. Under appropriate conditions of electrolysis (high current density of the cathode, acidification of the solution) loss of iron Fe2+ is avoided at the expense of cathodic discharge, as mainly at the cathode the reducing of cations H+ occurs. …”
