Abstract

Uniform single-crystalline Fe3O4 nanowires have been prepared at 150°C via a simple hydrothermal route assisted by polyethylene glycol (PEG600). Morphology and molecular structure of the Fe3O4 nanowires have been studied by means of scanning and transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, and infrared spectroscopy. Fe3O4 nanowires have been studied as an additive promoting thermal decomposition of ammonium perchlorate; their catalytic performance has been investigated by thermal gravimetric analysis. Temperature of ammonium perchlorate decomposition decreases by about 50°C upon addition of Fe3O4 nanowires.
