摘要
One simple and environmental friendly synthesis strategy for preparing low-cost magnetic Fe3C@C materials has been facilely developed using a modified sol-gel approach,wherein natural magnetite acted as the iron source.A chelating polycarboxylic acid such as citric acid(CA)was employed as the carbon source,and it dissolved Fe very effectively,Fe3O4 and natural magnetite to composite an iron-citrate complex with the assistance of ammonium hydroxide.The core-shell structure of the as-prepared nanocomposites was formed directly by high-temperature pyrolysis.The Fe3C@C materials exhibited superparamagnetic properties(38.09 emu/mg),suggesting potential applications in biomedicine,environment,absorption,catalysis,etc.
