| - We present here a simple method for fabricating superparamagnetic porous carbons with tunable magnetic properties. The method can be basically considered as a pyrolysis performed inside the restricted volume formed by the pores of a widely available, commercial activated carbon.
- We present here a novel and simple synthetic strategy for fabricating superparamagnetic nanomagnetsrandomly dispersed in porous carbons. The method can be basically considered as a pyrolysis performedinside the restricted volume formed by the pores of an activated carbon. Such magnetic porous materialsexhibit large surface areas (up to 1600 m2 g-1), high pore volumes (up to 1.0 cm3 g-1), and a porositymade up of accessible pores. An additional advantage of this method is its versatility, which allowscomposites with tunable magnetic properties to be obtained. In this way, it is possible to obtainsuperparamagnetic composites that can be easily manipulated by an external magnetic field.
