Synthesis and Characterization of Iron Oxide/Carbon Microspheres Composite Material

Abstract:

Different carbon sources were chosen to synthetize microspheres by hydrothermal method. X-ray diffraction indicated a highly disordered carbon structure. SEM images showed that the carbon microspheres had perfect spherical morphology, smooth surface and uniform particle size of 1-2 μm. Nanoscale iron oxide was synthesized on the microspheres support via hydrothermal synthetic route using Fe (NO)₃ and NaOH as reagents. The nanoparticles were α-Fe₂O₃, and uniformly loaded on the surface of the carbon microspheres with average diameter around 200 nm.
