Abstract
A millifluidic reactor was utilized for the synthesis of monodisperse, high magnetic moment, iron carbide (FexCy) nanoparticles by thermal decomposition of iron pentacarbonyl (Fe(CO)5). The effect of reaction conditions (temperature and pressure) on the size, morphology, crystal structure and magnetic properties of the nanoparticles was investigated. The system developed facilitated the thermal decomposition of precursor at reaction conditions (up to 265 °C and 4 bar) that cannot be easily achieved in conventional batch reactors. The degree of carbidization was enhanced by operating at elevated tempera-ture and pressure. The nanoparticles synthesized in the flow reactor had size 9-18 nm and demonstrated high saturation magnetisation (up to 164 emu/gFe). They further showed good stability against oxidation after two months of exposure in air, retaining good saturation magnetization values with a change of no more than 10% of the initial value. The heating ability of the nanoparticles in alternating magnetic field was comparable with other ferrites reported in literature, having intrinsic loss power values up to 1.52 (nHm2 kg-1).
