Abstract

By controlling the pyrolysis temperature, core/shell materials with Fe ₃O₄ encapsulated in carbon nanocages (Fe₃O ₄@CNCs) and Fe encapsulated in carbon nanotubes (Fe@CNTs) were synthesized selectively from acetylene using Fe₂O₃ nanoparticles as catalyst in chemical vapor deposition. Scanning electron microscopic study showed that the efficiency of generating Fe₃O ₄@CNCs and Fe@CNTs was high, exceeding 95%. Transmission electron microscopic study confirmed the high selectivity to Fe₃O ₄@CNCs and Fe@CNTs, with the former having morphology similar to that of the catalyst particles. With Fe₃O₄ and Fe nanoparticles tightly wrapped in graphitic layers, the obtained Fe ₃O₄@CNCs and Fe@CNTs materials show high stability and good magnetic properties.
