Magnetic γ-FeNi-coated alumina, graphite and cenosphere core-shell structural microspheres were subsequently prepared by thermal reduction of the as-prepared precursors at 600℃ for 2 h. Precipitation parameters, e.g. concentration of ceramic micropowders (lOg/L), sulfate solution (0.2mol/L), rate of adding reactants (3 mL/min) and pH value were optimized by a trial-and-error method. Powders of the precursors and the resulting coating of γ-FeNi with grain size below 40 nm on alumina, graphite and cenosphere microspheres were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The magnetic properties of the nanosize γ-FeNi-coated alumina, graphite and cenosphere microspheres were measured by vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM). The results show that the core-shell structural γ-FeNi-coated ceramic microspheres exhibited higher coercivity than pure γ-FeNi powders, indicating that these materials can be used for high-Derformance functional materials and devices.展开更多
