Synthesis of polygonal Co3Sn2 nanostructure with enhanced magnetic properties†
Abstract
A one-pot solvothermal route is employed to fabricate polygonal Co3Sn2 nanostructures. The obtained product exhibits anisotropic structure and morphology, which endow the Co3Sn2 nanostructure with enhanced coercivity of 131.5 Oe, four times as high as the cubic cobalt sample (31.3 Oe).
