when researching these materials. Here, we present a droplet capillaryreactor that can be used for the synthesis of magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles. Compared to conventional batch synthesis, the particles synthesized in our droplet reactor have a narrower size distribution and a higher
reproducibility. Furthermore, we demonstrate how the particle size can be changed from 5.2 ± 0.9 nm to 11.8 ± 1.7 nm by changing the reaction temperature and droplet residence time in the droplet capillaryreactor.

coprecipitation of iron oxide, nanoparticles inside of droplets should have significant benefits due to the fast mixing and thermal control compared to batch synthesis.
Here, we show a droplet capillaryreactor for the synthesis of magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles using a coprecipitation reaction. Nanoparticles
