Abstract

The hydroxy-iron powder with a hollow structure (h-hydroxy-iron, h-HI) was prepared using a pitting method, and then hollow-HI coated with MWCNTs (MWCNTs@h-HI) were prepared by connecting h-HI and MWCNTs with PABA as the active grafting agent. XRD, SEM, TEM and Lakeshore7307VSM were used to characterize the as-prepared products; hydroxy-iron powder, hollow HI and MWCNTs@HI were also characterized as comparisons. The results show that the hydroxy-iron powder can be prepared and grafted with MWCNTs. The best pitting time is 15 min, when the yield of h-HI is the largest, the wall thickness of h-HI particles with 2 μm in diameter is 200 nm, and the thickness of the grafting layer 150 nm. The saturation magnetization (Ms) of MWCNTs@h-HI is 140.88 (A·m2)·kg-1, the remanence (Mr) 1.4808 (A·m2)·kg-1 and the coercivity (Hc) 4.742×10-3 T.
