Study on the Preparation and Optical Properties of Graphene Oxide@Fe3O4 Two-Dimensional Magnetically Oriented Nanocomposites

Abstract

In this work, graphene oxide@Fe3O4 (GO@Fe3O4) two-dimensional magnetically oriented nanocomposites were prepared through the co-precipitation approach using graphene oxide as the carrier and FeCl3·6H2O and FeSO4·7H2O as iron sources. The samples were characterized and tested by X-ray diffraction, a transmission electron microscope, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, a vibrating-specimen magnetometer, a polarized optical microscope, an optical microscope, etc. The effects of material ratios and reaction conditions on the coating effects of Fe3O4 on the GO surface were investigated. The stable GO@Fe3O4 sol system was studied and constructed, and the optical properties of the GO@Fe3O4 sol were revealed. The results demonstrated the GO@Fe3O4 two-dimensional nanocomposites uniformly coated with Fe3O4 nanoparticles were successfully prepared. The GO@Fe3O4 two-dimensional nanocomposites exhibited superparamagnetic properties at room temperature, whose coercive force was 0. The stable GO@Fe3O4 sol system could be obtained by maintaining 1 < pH < 1.5. The GO@Fe3O4 sol showed magneto-orientation properties, liquid crystalline properties, and photonic crystal properties under the influence of the external magnetic field. The strength and direction of the magnetic field and the solid content of the GO@ Fe3O4 sol could regulate the aforementioned properties. The results suggest that GO@Fe3O4 two-dimensional magnetically oriented nanocomposites have potential applications in photonic switches, gas barriers, and display devices.

“…The X-ray pattern for the CLFS shows distinctive Bragg peak, 2θ at 35.62, 43.24, 57.27 and 62.81 ° respectively correspond to the re ection from (311), (400), ( 511) and (440) planes of Fe 3 O 4 nanoparticles (JCPDS-75-1609). [39] The broad X-ray diffraction (Fig. 1) observed between 20 and 25 ° (2θ) indicates the presence of amorphous silica in Fe 3 O 4 magnetic nanoparticles.…”
