“…With regard to the surface treatment utilizing an acidic solution, a remarkable H ci drop occurred due to the formation of a thin Sm 2 Co 17 H x layer with soft magnetic characteristics. Besides, interstitial hydrogen in the magnetic phase reduced the anisotropy field, leading to a further drastic decrease in H ci 22 , 56 , 57 . Therefore, it could be concluded that the NH 4 Cl/methanol solution was the most suitable chemoselective dissolution solution leading to high magnetic performance 1-D Sm 2 Co 17 nanostructures.…”

“…When dilute acetic acid was utilized, CaO-CaH 2 and the dilute acetic acid could react as follows: Compared to the case in distilled water, the large exothermic enthalpy of Equations ( 3 and 4 ) accelerated the generation of activated H 2 , resulting in the hydrogenation of Sm-Co nanostructures 57 , 59 . Although the hydride phase was indistinguishable in the X-ray diffraction pattern (see Fig.…”

Rare earth permanent magnets with superior magnetic performance have been generally synthesized through many chemical methods incorporating calcium thermal reduction. However, a large challenge still exists with regard to the removal of remaining reductants, byproducts, and trace impurities generated during the purifying process, which serve as inhibiting intermediates, inducing productivity and purity losses, and a reduction in magnetic properties. Nevertheless, the importance of a post-calciothermic reduction process has never been seriously investigated. Here, we introduce a novel approach for the synthesis of a highly pure samarium-cobalt (Sm-Co) rare earth nanomagnet with near theoretical ultra-high magnetic performance via consecutive calcium-assisted reduction and chemoselective dissolution. The chemoselective dissolution effect of various solution mixtures was evaluated by the purity, surface microstructure, and magnetic characteristics of the Sm-Co. As a result, NH4Cl/methanol solution mixture was only capable of selectively rinsing out impurities without damaging Sm-Co. Furthermore, treatment with NH4Cl led to substantially improved magnetic properties over 95.5% of the Ms for bulk Sm-Co. The mechanisms with regard to the enhanced phase-purity and magnetic performance were fully elucidated based on analytical results and statistical thermodynamics parameters. We further demonstrated the potential application of chemoselective dissolution to other intermetallic magnets.
