ABSTRAK

Nanozarah Co-Ni-Cu telah disediakan dengan kaedah elektropengendapan pada keupayaan pengendapan -925 mV (SCE) menggunakan larutan sulfat (0.018M Co2++ 0.180M Ni2+ + 0.002M Cu2+) yang mengandungi surfaktan Glukopon 215 CSUP dan juga tanpa surfaktan. Kesan kepekatan surfaktan terhadap saiz dan sifat magnet nanozarah Co-Ni-Cu yang terhasil telah dikaji. Analisis morfologi permukaan endapan yang diperoleh dilakukan dengan menggunakan mikroskop elektron imbasan pancaran medan (FESEM) manakala sifat magnetnya diselidiki dengan menggunakan magnetometer getaran sampel (VSM). Nanozarah Co-Ni-Cu yang disediakan daripada larutan yang mengandungi Glukopon 215 CSUP didapati berbentuk sfera dengan saiz berskala nanometer. Saiz zarah paling kecil ialah lebih kurang 50 nm, diperoleh pada kepekatan surfaktan 5 %v, iaitu kepekatan paling tinggi yang dikaji dalam kajian ini. Kepaksaan (Hc) didapati lebih tinggi pada sampel yang disediakan daripada elektrolit yang mengandungi surfaktan berbanding tanpa surfaktan.

 

Kata kunci: Elektropengendapan; nanozarah Co-Ni-Cu; sifat magnet; surfaktan

 

ABSTRACT

Co-Ni-Cu nanoparticles were prepared by electrodeposition method at co-deposition potential of -925 mV (SCE) from sulphate solution (0.018M Co2++ 0.180M Ni2+ + 0.002M Cu2+), both in the presence and in the absence of surfactant, Glucopone 215 CSUP. The effect of surfactant concentration on size and magnetic properties of Co-Ni-Cu nanoparticles produced was investigated. Surface morphology was analyzed using a field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM) while its magnetic properties were investigated by a vibrating sampel magnetometer (VSM). Co-Ni-Cu nanoparticles prepared from the Glucopone 215 CSUP- containing solution were spherical with nanometer size. The finest particles were about 50 nm obtanied when 5 v% of surfactant was used which was the highest surfactant concentration studied in this work. Coercivity (Hc) of the samples prepared from electrolytes containing surfactant was higher than those of prepared without surfactant.
