What are the Common Magnetic Materials Used in Catalysis?
Common magnetic materials used in catalysis include:
- Iron Oxides (Fe3O4 and Fe2O3): These are the most frequently used magnetic materials due to their strong magnetic properties and relatively low cost. - Cobalt Ferrite (CoFe2O4): Known for its high coercivity and stability, cobalt ferrite is often used in applications requiring high magnetic strength. - Nickel (Ni): Nickel nanoparticles are used for their magnetic properties and catalytic activity, especially in hydrogenation reactions. - Magnetic Alloys: Alloys such as FePt and CoPt are utilized for their tunable magnetic properties and high thermal stability.
