Abstract:

This work presents a synthesis of iron nanochains through magnetic-field-induced reduction reaction performed with sodium borohydride in water, ethanol and isopropanol. After their preparation, the nanomaterials obtained in three different processes are washed several times in ethanol and acetone to remove side-products. The performed cleaning step is very sufficient for water-based synthesis of iron nanochains. In contrary, the nanostructures obtained in ethanol and isopropanol contain a significant amount of sodium chlorides which is hard to dispose. Moreover, the use of ethanol and isopropanol solvents causes the reduction of nanochains’ diameters. Both the presence of sodium chlorides and the reduction of diameter size result in the decrease of saturation magnetization of iron nanochains and the increase of their coercivities.
