  • Title: Synthesis of mesoporous magnetic Co-NPs/carbon nanocomposites and their adsorption property for methyl orange from aqueous solution.
    Author: Zhang P, An Q, Guo J, Wang CC.
    Journal: J Colloid Interface Sci; 2013 Jan 01; 389(1):10-5. PubMed ID: 22975398.
    Abstract:
    Mesoporous magnetic Co-NPs(nanoparticles)/carbon nanocomposites were synthesized by carbonization of polyacrylonitrile (PAN) microspheres entrapped with cobalt salt for the first time. The structure and morphology of the porous magnetic nanocomposites were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), vibrating sample magnetometry (VSM), and N(2) adsorption-desorption technique. The nanocomposites possess very high saturation magnetization (Ms is up to ~133 emu/g), near-zero remanence, and very low coercivity (Hc is down to ~0.023 KOe). Meanwhile, the nanocomposites have mesoporous structure with average pore size of 4 nm and high specific surface area of 232 m(2)/g, which can be tuned by changing the carbonization conditions. Using methyl orange (MO) as model pollutant in water, the mesoporous magnetic nanocomposites showed good adsorption capacity of 380 mg/g, and the absorbed MO could be easily released in ethanol. The mesoporous nanocomposites were facile separated from solution under external magnetic force, and over 85% adsorption capacity for MO could be retained after five adsorption/desorption cycles.
