镍钴磷包覆的碳纳米管与成分关联的磁性能

用化学镀方法在碳纳米管表面沉积了具有不同镍／钴成分配比的镍钴磷合金层．讨论了Co^2＋与Ni^2＋的浓度比、镀液温度、pH值对沉积速率的影响．并利用场发射扫描电镜、透射电镜、X射线衍射仪、能谱仪和磁性测疑仪对镍钴磷包覆碳纳米管进行了系统的结构和性能表征．结果表明：当镀液中Co^2＋与Ni^2＋的浓度比为1，pH值为9时沉积速率最大；镀液温度的升高会使沉积速率增大．磁性测试结果显示碳纳米管表面镀覆Ni—Co—P镀层后，其磁性能对镀层中的Ni、Co相对含量有强烈的依赖性．当Co^2＋：Ni^2＋=2：1时，饱和磁化强度最大．矫顽力分别在Co^2＋：Ni^2＋=1：2和Co^2＋：Ni^＋2＋=4：1时有2个峰值；而磁导率分别在Co^2＋：Ni^2＋=1：4和Co^2＋：Ni^2＋=4：1时有2个峰值．

Composition Dependent Magnetic Properties of Ni-Co-P Coated Carbon Nanotubes

Carbon nanotubes were coated with a layer of nickel-cobalt-phosphorus （Ni-Co-P） alloy with different compositions of Ni/Co through electroless plating. The effects of the concentration ratio of Co^2＋ to Ni^2＋, bath temperature, and pH on deposition rate are discussed. The prepared carbon nanotubes covered with Ni-Co-P were characterized and analyzed by fieldemission scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, energy dispersive spectroscopy, and a vibrating sample magnetometer. The results show that the deposition rate reached the maximum when the concentration ratio of Co^2＋ to Ni^2＋ is 1 and the pH is 9; the deposition rate increases with the increase of bath temperature. The measurements of the magnetic properties of the obtained carbon nanotubes covered with Ni-Co-P indicate that the magnetic properties greatly depend on the concentration ratio of Co^2＋ to Ni^2＋, and the magnetic saturation reaches the maximum value when the Co^2＋ to Ni^2＋ ratio is 1. In addition, there are two peaks in the coercivity curve at Co^2＋ to Ni^2＋ ratios of 1/2 and 4/1, while the two peaks in the magnetic conductivity curve are located at Co^2＋ to Ni^2＋ ratios of 1/4 and 4/1.
