Abstract

Fe3O4@C nanoparticles were successfully synthesized by an in situ solid-phase method using FeSO4, FeS2, and PVP K30 as the starting materials under the nitrogen atmosphere. In addition, the mechanism of the synthetic of Fe3O4@C nanoparticles was studied through in situ characterizations. The results showed that the pyrolysis of PVP K30 participated in the solid-phase reaction and resulted in the formation of carbon shells and a reduction in particle size. The structure of the Fe3O4@C nanoparticles was core-shell with the average particle size of 30 nm and the thickness of the carbon shell of 2 nm. Besides, the Raman spectrum revealed that the carbon shell mostly existed in the form of amorphous carbon. The surface area and the pore volume of the Fe3O4@C nanoparticles were estimated to be 37.74 m2 g-1 and 0.227 cm3 g-1. Magnetization hysteresis curve exhibited the values of coercivity and remanence and saturation magnetization are found to be approximately 0.16 kOe, 12.8 emu g-1, and 77 emu g-1, respectively.
