A general and facile method for improving carbon coat on magnetic nanoparticles with a thickness control
A general and facile hydrothermal method was developed to improve carbon coating formation on the surface of magnetic nanoparticles from sucrose and hindering growth of pure carbon spheres by using ammonium acetate (CH3COONH4) as a structure guiding agent. The thickness of the carbon coating could be easily realized by adjusting the reaction time. (C) 2015 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
