| Abstract: | Monodispersed Fe nanospindles and nanoparticles were successfully synthesized through environmentfriendly reductive annealing ?-Fe OOH nanorods. Effects of annealing temperature and reaction atmosphere on microstructure, phase, and magnetic property of Fe nanostructures were investigated.The as-obtained pure Fe nanoparticles with mean size of 45 nm had a high saturation magnetization up to 207 emu/g, close to that of bulk material(218 emu/g), which exhibited high air stability. After exposing in air for 2 and 7 days, the as synthesized Fe nanoparticles still showed high magnetization of 182 and141 emu/g, respectively. |
