Abstract

By controlling the nitridation temperature, magnetic nanoparticles (Fe3O4and Fe2N) were attached to the carbon nanotubes (CNTs) to fabricate new Fe3O4/CNTs and Fe2N/CNTs composites with magnetic property from the same precursor. The attachment of tiny magnetic nanoparticles on CNTs is crucial for the formation of a homogeneous composite, which provides good combination between CNTs and the magnetic matrix to give a CNT-combined composite. Both Fe3O4/CNTs and Fe2N/CNTs composites show magnetic characteristic from the hysteresis loops measurements at room temperature. Morever, these composites have greater specific surface areas than pure Fe3O4and Fe2N materials, which means that these composites are promising as good adsorbents for removal of contaminants from water and easily seperated from the medium by a magnetic process.
