Self-assembled magnetic nanoparticles of Prussian blue on graphene†
Abstract
A sequential dipping method to deposit the Prussian blue (PB) type molecular magnet Fe4[Fe(CN)6]3·14H2O onto graphene is demonstrated. Approximately 15 deposition cycles yield a reproducible and almost full coverage of PB with a layer thickness of ∼40 nm. Remarkably, the electronic transport properties of graphene are largely preserved after the coating.
