title: Preparation and Characterization of Graphene/Fe3O4 Composites by Solvothermal Method.
abstract: In the present study, graphene/Fe3O4 nanocomposites were prepared by solvothermal method using graphite oxide (GO) and FeCl3 x 6H2O as starting materials and the products were characterized by X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electronic Microscope (SEM) and Vibrating Sample Magnetometer (VSM). Effects of Fe ion concentration, temperature and time of solvothermal reaction on the magnetic properties, microstructures and morphologies of graphene/Fe3O4 nanocomposites were investigated. The results showed that with the raising of Fe ion, particle size of the products became bigger, and saturation magnetization of the products got higher. The saturation magnetization and particle size of the products can be enhanced by increasing the reaction time and temperature, but the change of saturation magnetization and particle size were not obvious after the time got 8 h and temperature was at 200 degrees C, which demonstrated that the products became stable under this condition. The morphologies, microstructures and properties of products can be controlled by adjusting synthesis conditions.
