Abstract

In the present study, barium hexaferrite nanocrystals (BaFe12O19) were successfully synthesized through the two-step sol–gel method in an aqueous solution in the presence of barium nitrate and iron (III) nitrate. Besides, the effect of the molar ratio of graphene oxide on the particle size and magnetic properties of final product was investigated. In this research, glucose plays a role as capping and chelating agent in the synthesis of BaFe12O19/graphene oxide. Moreover, it was found that the size, morphology, and magnetic properties of the final products could be greatly influenced by the molar ratio of graphene oxide. BaFe12O19/graphene oxide was characterized by using X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscope, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, vibrating sample magnetometer, and energy-dispersive spectrometry.
