Abstract:
We report a method for synthesizing different phases of samarium-cobalt particles through microwave-assisted combustion combined with high-temperature reduction and diffusion, and identify the optimal temperature for forming the 1:5 phase using this approach. Initially, the samarium-to-cobalt ratio in a nitrate solution was determined. Using urea as both a reductant and fuel, samarium-cobalt oxides were synthesized via microwave-assisted combustion. The main components of the oxides were confirmed to be SmCoO3 and Co3O4. Subsequently, samarium-cobalt particles were synthesized at various diffusion temperatures. The results indicate that at 700 degrees C, the oxides were reduced to elemental Sm and Co. As the reduction temperature increased, the alloying of samarium and cobalt occurred, and the particle size gradually increased. At 900 degrees C, a pure 1:5 phase was formed, with particle sizes of approximately 800 nm, a coercivity of 35 kOe, and a maximum energy product of 14 MGOe. Based on the microwave-assisted combustion method, this study clarifies the transition temperatures of samarium-cobalt phases during the reduction and diffusion process, and further establishes the synthesis temperature for the 1:5 phase, providing new insights into the preparation and development of samarium-cobalt materials and potentially other rare earth materials.
