Abstract:With ferrocene as a precursor, carbon-encapsulated iron nanoparticles are synthesized through detonation of a gas mixture of hydrogen and air in a titanium detonation tube. XRD and TEM characterization shows that a downward trend in the size of particles can be observed with increasing amounts of the precursor. However, no further decrease occurs when the size of nanoparticles reaches approximately approximate to 40 nm, after which they remain in the range of 30-50 nm. The initial temperature of the detonation tube at 353 K is the optimal initial temperature for the synthesis. The average grain size of the synthesized products becomes larger as the temperature of detonation increases.
