dc.description.abstractMagnetic materials are ubiquitous in electric devices and motors making them indispensable for modern-day society. The hexaferrites currently constitute the most widely used permanent magnets (PMs), accounting for 85% (by weight) of the global sales of PMs. This work presents a complete bottom-up nanostructuring protocol for preparation of magnetically aligned, high-performance hexaferrite PMs with a record-high (BH)max for dry-processed ferrites. The procedure includes the supercritical hydrothermal flow synthesis of anisotropic magnetic-single-domain strontium hexaferrite (SrFe12O19) nanocrystallites of various sizes, and their subsequent compaction into bulk magnets by spark plasma sintering (SPS). Interestingly, Rietveld modeling of neutron powder diffraction data reveals a significant difference between the magnetic structure of the thinnest nanoplatelets and the bulk compound, indicating the Sr-containing atomic layer to be the termination layer. Subsequently, high-density SrFe12O19 magnets (>95% of the theoretical density) are produced by SPS of the flow-synthesized nanoplatelets. Texture analysis by X-ray pole figure measurements demonstrates how the anisotropic shape of the nanoplatelets causes a self-induced alignment during SPS, without application of an external magnetic field. The self-induced texture is accompanied by crystallite growth along the magnetic easy-axis, i.e., the thickness of the platelets, resulting in high-performance PMs with square hysteresis curves and (BH)max of 30 kJ/m3. The (BH)max is further enhanced by annealing, reaching 36 kJ/m3 after 4 h at 850 °C, which exceeds the (BH)max of the highest grade of dry-processed commercial ferrites worldwide. © 2018 American Chemical Societyen_AU
