Recent Developments in the Synthesis of Iron-based Nanostructures by Laser Pyrolysis: Integrating Structural Analysis with the Experimental Method

摘要

The paper briefly reviews some fundamental and applicative characteristics of the laser pyrolysis technique. Recent developments of this method for the synthesis of iron-based nanostructures are emphasized. By varying the precursor gas mixture, iron/carbon nanocomposites (core-shell structures) and gamma iron oxide nanopowders were obtained and characterized. Novel structural features of the synthesized titanium-doped nano iron oxides are described.
