Carbon-stabilized iron nanoparticles for environmental remediation.
Ferromagnetic carbon-coated Fe nanoparticles (core size of 15 nm, saturated magnetization of Ms=218 emu g(-1) and coercivity of Hc=62 Oe), fabricated at a mild temperature, demonstrate a strong ability to effectively remove more than 95 wt% of Cr(VI) in waste water via carbon shell physical adsorption, which is much higher than the commercially available Fe NPs.
