Preparation and magnetic property of multi-walled carbon nanotube/α-Fe_2O_3 composites

摘要

In order to attain new functional nanomaterials with good magnetic property,multi-walled carbon nanotubes/hematite (MWNTs/α-Fe2O3)composites were synthesized using the co-deposition method.MWNTs/α-Fe2O3 composites were characterized by X-ray diffractometry(XRD),scanning electron microscopy(SEM),transmission electron microscopy(TEM),Raman spectroscopy and vibrating sample magnetometry(VSM).The experimental results show that the structure and magnetic properties of the MWNTs/α-Fe2O3 composites are related to the heat treatment temperature.MWNTs are modified byα-Fe2O3 nano-particles andα-Fe2O3 nanorods with a diameter of 10-50 nm after being treated at 450℃.When the heat treatment temperature exceeds 600 ℃,MWNTs are only modified by Fe3O4 particles.Furthermore,the MWNTs composites treated at 450 ℃and 600℃have good magnetic behaviour.
