    Fe-C nanoparticles obtained from thermal decomposition employing sugars as reducing agents
    (Elsevier, 2020) Cervera Gabalda, Laura María; Pérez de Landazábal Berganzo, José Ignacio; Garayo Urabayen, Eneko; Monteserín, María; Larumbe Abuin, Silvia; Martín, F.; Gómez Polo, Cristina; Zientziak; Institute for Advanced Materials and Mathematics - INAMAT2; Ciencias; Gobierno de Navarra / Nafarroako Gobernua; Universidad Pública de Navarra / Nafarroako Unibertsitate Publikoa
    The aim of the work is to present a comparative analysis (structural and magnetic) of Fe-C nanocomposites obtained by the thermal decomposition of sugars (fructose, glucose and sucrose) employing FeCl3 as Fe3+ precursor. The thermal decomposition was followed through Thermogravimetry (TGA) and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction, High Resolution Transmission Electron Microscopy (HRTEM) and Raman spectroscopy. The results indicate the reduction of Fe3+ under the performed thermal treatments and the achievement at high annealing temperatures of Fe-C nanostructures (coexistence of α-Fe and Fe3C nanoparticles surrounded by a carbon matrix). The magnetic characterization performed by dc SQUID magnetometry, shows an antiferromagnetic response in the initial stages of the decomposition process, and a ferromagnetic behavior linked to the Fe-based nanoparticles. The magnetic induction heating was analyzed through the ac hysteresis loops. Moderate Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) is obtained in Fe-C nanoparticles (~ 70 W/gFe), ascribed to the large nanoparticle size. The combination of porous carbon structure and ferromagnetic response of the Fe-C nanoparticles (i.e. local temperature increase under ac magnetic field) enlarge the emerging applications of these carbonaceous nanocomposites.
