Effect of Synthesis Temperature on Structural and Magnetic Properties in Hematite (α-Fe2O3) Nanoparticles Produced by Co-Precipitation Method

Abstract:

Modification of nanometer size order in anode material of hematite nanoparticles is believed to be one of the keys to increasing the specific capacity of Li-ion batteries application. So that, the synthesis temperature dependence of nanocrystallite size properties in co-precipitated hematite nanoparticles is studied. Sample of Hematite nanoparticles is modified the physical properties by synthesis temperature and then annealed of 700°C for 4 hours. The crystallite size increase with the increase of the synthesis temperature i.e., 23.06 to 29.64 nm. It is indicated that the synthesis temperature affects crystallite formation. Furthermore, the magnetic properties show that the coercive field decrease from 869 to 211 Oe with the increase of the temperature synthesis. It is related to the change in the nanosize-order of the sample crystallite.
