The chemically ordered L1(0)-FeNi alloy is a promising candidate for next generation rare-earth-free permanent magnets, which can revolutionize the high-performance magnets market currently dominated by Nd-Fe-B. Despite many efforts, the experimental results fall short of theoretical predictions, and current approaches are not suitable for industrial implementation. In this work, we propose an innovative and efficient synthesis method that exploits the natural order of a crystalline Ni/Fe complex, which closely mimics the atomic organization in the L1(0) structure, to drive the formation of the ordered phase. By low-temperature reduction of the complex salt, carbon coated aggregates of FeNi alloy nanoparticles (20 - 120 nm) with a >55% of L1(0) phase, high coercivity (up to 65 mT) and large saturation magnetization (similar to 140 Am-2/kg) were obtained. The results pave the way for the development of a novel and sustainable route to produce high-anisotropy FeNi nanoparticles of potential interest for next generation critical-element-free permanent magnets.

Abstract
The chemically ordered L1(0)-FeNi alloy is a promising candidate for next generation rare-earth-free permanent magnets, which can revolutionize the high-performance magnets market currently dominated by Nd-Fe-B. Despite many efforts, the experimental results fall short of theoretical predictions, and current approaches are not suitable for industrial implementation. In this work, we propose an innovative and efficient synthesis method that exploits the natural order of a crystalline Ni/Fe complex, which closely mimics the atomic organization in the L1(0) structure, to drive the formation of the ordered phase. By low-temperature reduction of the complex salt, carbon coated aggregates of FeNi alloy nanoparticles (20 - 120 nm) with a >55% of L1(0) phase, high coercivity (up to 65 mT) and large saturation magnetization (similar to 140 Am-2/kg) were obtained. The results pave the way for the development of a novel and sustainable route to produce high-anisotropy FeNi nanoparticles of potential interest for next generation critical-element-free permanent magnets.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
