Abstract

We report an advanced chemical vapour deposition approach which allows the direct in situ synthesis of cm-length ultrathin buckypapers comprising carbon nanostructures filled with Fe3C, FeCo, FeNi, CoNi, Co and Ni by sublimation and pyrolysis of single or combined metallocenes with very low quantities of dichlorobenzene. As a result, extremely high saturation magnetizations of 117 emu g-1, 90 emu g-1 and 80 emu g-1 are obtained for the specific cases of Fe3C, FeCo and FeNi, respectively, while variable saturation magnetizations of 70 emu g-1, 58 emu g-1 and 6.7 emu g-1 are obtained for Co, CoNi and Ni respectively.
