title: A cheap gas-liquid-solid method for nanodeposition of iron on the surface of flaky graphite powder.
abstract: A cheap gas-liquid-solid method to prepare a nanodeposition of iron on the surface of a micrometer-size flaky graphite powder is described. This method is suited not only for spherical, but also nonspherical small substrates. The method is only a one-step process, in which decomposition of iron pentacarbonyl is induced by nitrogen gas in a 90 degrees C reactor. This synthetic route simplifies the operation procedure and manufacturing equipment, and decreases the reaction temperature, compared with conventional liquid-solid-phase methods and gas-solid-phase methods.
