Liquid Plasma Synthesis of Carbon Coated Iron Oxide Particles

Recently, magnetic metal or metal oxide nanoparticles encapsulated in carbon are important in biomedical applications [1]. The relevant reason to study toxicity of the magnetic nanoparticles coated by carbon is that they have great potential to contribute to cancer treatment. In this work, the synthesis of iron oxide nano-particles coated by graphitic carbon shells using pulsed plasma in liquid method. Short duration of RF plasma discharge, low electrical energy and fast quenching of the surrounding media can let to synthesize various kinds of pure nanoparticles. *Corresponding author: ayseguluygun@sdu.edu.tr,lutfioksuz@sdu.edu.tr [1] S S khiabani et al., Artificial cells, nanomedicine and biotechnology, 45,1, 6-17 (2017)
