Abstract:

A "Chemical one-step method" (COSM) was used to prepare the electromagnetic functionalized polypyrrole/γ-Fe2O3(PPy/γ-Fe2O3) nanospheres without any dopant. In this method, FeCl3 acted as an oxidant for the polymerization of pyrrole and as a source of γ-Fe2O3, which also required the initial presence of Fe(Ⅱ), provided by the addition of FeCl2. In this paper, the amount of FeCl2 had little effect on the morphology; however, the conductive and magnetic properties of PPy/γ-Fe2O3 nanospheres were greatly affected by the amount of FeCl2. The conductive and magnetic properties of PPy/γ-Fe2O3 nanospheres increased and reached maximum values simultaneously with increasing amounts of FeCl2. The resulting electromagnetic PPy/γ-Fe2O3 nanospheres show maximum conductivity of 72.1 S/cm and saturation magnetization of 10.07 A·m2/kg.
