Preparation of Self-Assembled Iron Oxide Nanorings with Nano-Aluminum

Abstract:

To make fuels and oxides react better, Iron oxide nanoring was synthesized using hydrothermal method and then self-assembled with nano aluminum particles. Iron oxide were characterized by hollow column morphology with outer diameters of 200-240nm, inner diameters of 90-120nm and heights of 120-150nm using SEM and TEM. Iron oxide and aluminum were evenly distributed and contact closely by self-assembly.The touch of fuels and oxides increased effectively.While the ultrasonically-mixed sample scattered randomly and aggregated seriously. Self-assembly is proved to be a effective method for the touch and distribution of oxides and fuels.
