The invention discloses a method for enhancing
magnetism of
bismuth ferrite nano
powder based on the size effect, and belongs to the technical field of multiferroic materials /
magneto-electric couplingmaterials. The method aims to solve the two technical problems that an existing single-phase multiferroic material
bismuth ferrite easily generates an
impurity phase and the
ferromagnetism is low. The method includes the following steps that 1,
bismuth nitrate pentahydrate and
ferric sulfate nonahydrate are sequentially added into
ethylene glycol
monomethyl ether under the stirring condition, andafter addition, dilute
nitric acid is dropwise added until the pH value is 3-4; 2, stirring continues,
citric acid monohydrate is added, and after uniform stirring,
ethylene glycol is added and evenly stirred; 3, the mixture is put into a water bath for magnetic stirring and then dried; 4, two-stage heat preservation is conducted; 5, the mixture is grinded, dilute
nitric acid is added, the mixture is cleaned with deionized water after magnetic stirring, the mixture is dried, and BiFeO3 pure-phase nano
powder is obtained. According to the method, the ferromagnetic property of
bismuth ferrite can be remarkably enhanced.
