Abstract
High-density attachment and one-dimensional (1D) array of FePt nanoparticles (NPs) along carbon nanotubes (CNTs) surface to generate FePt/CNT nanocomposites were successfully obtained via a facile CNT-mediated microwave polyol method. The as-prepared 1D FePt/CNTs is about 10–20 nm in diameter and up to μm scale in length. By adjusting the solvents, the ratio of Fe/Pt and the attached density of FePt NPs on the surface of CNTs could be well controlled. The structures, composition, and magnetic properties of the FePt/CNTs were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), and magnetic measurements. The possible growth mechanism has also been proposed.
