Preparation and characterization of Y-Fe alloy nanowires by template-assisted electrodeposition from aqueous solution
Source abstract
Abstract
In this study, a method was proposed for the preparation of Y-Fe alloy nanowires by PC membrane template-assisted electrodeposition from aqueous solution. Citric acid acted as complexing agent was used into the solution to fabricate Y-Fe alloy nanowires. The electrolyte solution consisted of 5 g L−1 YCl3, 12.5 g L−1 FeSO·6H2O, different concentrations of citric acid , 25 g L−1 boric acid in deionized water. The energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) found that the content of Y in the nanowires can be controlled by citric acid concentration and the current intensity, and the content of Y could reach up to 33.16 wt%. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), BET specific surface area (BET), and X-ray diffraction (XRD) showed that there was a shift in the structure of nanowires from semicrystalline to amorphous due to the change of Y content, and their shapes were approximately 100 nm in diameter and 6 μm in length; the surface areas of nanowires were about 3.97 m2/g. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, UV–Vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) indicated the formation of Y-Fe alloy, Y2O3 and Fe2O3 existed in the outer layer of nanowires. The magnetic field applied both parallel and perpendicular to the nanowires by alternating gradient magnetometer (AGM) showed small magnetic anisotropy and low coercivity with easy axis of magnetization perpendicular to the nanowires. In addition, the magneto-optic Kerr effect (MOKE) was investigated, and a Kerr rotation angle of 29 mdeg was obtained.
