Ferrofluids and their constituent magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles are routinely synthesized using standard base precipitation methods (such as co-precipitation with hydroxides) without requiring the evaporation of ammonia.
The claim specifies that ferrofluid (or its magnetic nanoparticle components) can be synthesized via alternative base precipitation methods without evaporating ammonia. Multiple retrieved papers confirm that co-precipitation using base addition is a standard, widely used method for synthesizing magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (the active component of ferrofluids) without employing ammonia evaporation steps. None of the provided papers refute this.
