Abstract
Ni-Fe alloy with various morphologies has been synthesized by the hydrothermal approach. The structure of Ni-Fe alloy was characterized by scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction and X-ray energy-dispersive spectroscopy. The result showed that the morphologies (e.g. flower, snowflake and tree) of Ni-Fe alloy strongly depended on the volume ratios of ethanol to water. Furthermore, the magnetic and electrical properties of Ni-Fe alloy with various morphologies were investigated. The Ni-Fe alloy has higher magnetic (Ms=89.6 emu/g) and electrical properties (76.9 S/cm) compared with the Ni-Fe alloy reported in previous work. The stepwise growth mechanism of Ni-Fe alloy with various morphologies is also discussed. It indicates that this strategy is effective for the synthesis of Ni-Fe alloy micro/nanostructures.
