Hydrothermal growth of octahedral Fe3O4 crystals

This paper reports the growth of octahedral magnetic Fe3O4 particles from iron powders via a simple alkaline hydrothermal process. The chemical compositions and morphologies of the as-grown Fe3O4 particles were characterized by X-ray diffraction （XRD）, X-ray photoelectron spectra （XPS）, and scanning electron microscopy （SEM）. Structure characterization showed that the phase structure of the prepared particles evolved from α-Fe to pure Fe3O4 with increasing concentration of KOH, indicating the important role of KOH concentration on the formation of the magnetite octahedron. The magnetic properties of samples were also studied by means of a vibrating sample magnetometer （VSM）. The pure magnetite Fe3O4 octahedrons exhibited a relatively high saturation magnetization of 96.7 emu/g.     

Synthesis of Fe3O4 nanoparticles by wet milling iron powder in a planetary ball mill

Fe3O4 nanoparticles with sizes ranging from 30 to 80 nm were synthesized by wet milling iron powders in a planetary ball mill. The phase composition and the morphologies of the as-synthesized products were measured by X-ray diffraction （XRD）, scanning electron microscopy （SEM） and transmission electron microscopy （TEM）. Nanosized Fe3O4 particles were prepared by wet milling metallic iron powder （-200 mesh, 99%） in a planetary ball mill equipped with stainless steel vials using iron balls under distilled water with a ball-to-powder mass ratio of 50：1 and at a rotation speed of 300 rpm. The use of the iron balls in this method played a key role in Fe3O4 formation. The present technique is simple and the process is easy to carry out.

Visible photoactive AgBr/TiO2 was immobilized on a SiO2@Fe3O4 magnetic support by solvother- rnal and sol-gel methods to form a AgBr-TiO2/SiO2@Fe3O4 magnetic photocatalyst.

Controlled synthesis of hollow magnetic Fe3O4 nanospheres: Effect of the cooling rate

The controlled synthesis of hollow magnetite (Fe₃O₄) nanospheres of varying sizes and structures was successfully obtained via a facile solvothermal process and varying cooling processes. The Fe₃O₄ nanospheres were characterized by X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and superconducting quantum interference device magnetometry. The diameters of the as-synthesized nanospheres were controlled at around 500–700 nm by simply changing the cooling rate, which had an obvious influence on the morphology and magnetic properties of these Fe₃O₄ nanospheres. While a low cooling rate triggered the formation and extension of the cracks present in the Fe₃O₄ nanospheres, a sudden drop of temperature tended to favor multi-site nucleation of the crystals as well as the formation of compact and smooth hollow nanospheres with superior crystallinity and high saturation magnetization. The growth mechanism of hollow magnetite oxide nanospheres was proposed and the correlation between the structure and the magnetic properties of the hollow nanospheres was discussed, which promises the potential of the hollow nanospheres in various applications such as drug delivery and cell separation.

Continuous synthesis of iron oxide (Fe3O4) nanoparticles via thermal decomposition

Iron oxide nanoparticles have become of great interest in the medical field for their potential uses in areas such as biomagnetic imaging and hypothermia cancer treatment. Traditionally, particles for these applications are produced through batch-based methodologies. Herein, we demonstrate an alternative continuous flow production method for the synthesis of Fe₃O₄ iron oxide nanoparticles. Advantages of continuous flow over the batch method include consistent formation of uniformly spherical particles, thorough mixing of reactants, and capacity for high-volume particle production. In this study, a continuous flow reaction mechanism was proposed in which stoichiometric control of reactants had the potential to control final particle size. The project was conducted under the supposition that the iron oleate/ligand ratio in the precursor was the greatest size control factor, with a higher ratio resulting in smaller particles. The resulting particles produced by this continuous method were characterized by high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, and magnetometry.     

Preparation of nanosized hollow silica spheres from Na2SiO3 using Fe3O4 nanoparticles as templates

Nanosized hollow silica spheres with average diameters from 43 to 70 nm were prepared by removal of Fe₃O₄ templates with hydrochloric acid from silica-coated Fe₃O₄ core–shell composites. The shells of the hollow silica spheres had nanopores with average diameters of 0.92–1.25 nm. When the silica-coated Fe₃O₄ core–shell composites were prepared at a high pH value or with a low mole ratio of Na₂SiO₃ to Fe₃O₄, the resulting hollow silica spheres consisted of highly porous shells. When the silica-coated Fe₃O₄ core–shell composites were prepared with a high mole ratio of Na₂SiO₃ to Fe₃O₄, the resulting hollow silica spheres had large diameters and thick shells. The release rate of herbicide, ammonium glyphosate, could be tuned by using hollow silica spheres with different shell thicknesses.

原位内生NiAl-Al2O3-TiC的高温磨损特性

采用滑动磨损试验方法研究了原位内生NiAl-Al2O3-TiC与SiC陶瓷盘配副在600℃～900℃下的摩擦磨损特性.结果表明：在700℃～900℃范围内,NiAl-Al2O3-TiC表现出优异的自润滑性能,摩擦系数和磨损率均低于Ni基高温合金K44;600℃的摩擦系数和磨损率高于K44.产生自润滑性能的原因主要是由于磨损表面生成了由纳米氧化物构成的1～2μm保护层,该保护层具有自润滑性能,并部分地转移到对摩副表面,消除了NiAl-Al2O3-TiC与SiC之间的直接磨损.保护层的形成机制是氧化物颗粒的微区热压烧结.NiAl-Al2O3-TiC对保护层起到传递应力和支撑作用,随着试验温度的升高,NiAl-Al2O3-TiC强度和硬度的降低导致保护层的开裂和脱落.
