A three-step chemical synthesis of SmCo5/Co nanocomposites was developed. Firstly, the Co-Sm(OH)(3)-Ca(OH)(2) precursors were prepared by co-precipitation. Secondly, SmCo5 particles were obtained by reductive annealing of the precursors. At last, the SmCo5/Co nanocomposites were achieved by chemical deposition based on SmCo5 particles. The SmCo5/Co nanocomposites contain hard magnetic phase of SmCo5 with about 100nm in size and soft magnetic phase of Co with about 8nm in size, exhibiting independent two-phase structure without alloying. Compared to that of single-phase SmCo5 particles, the saturation magnetization of SmCo5/Co nanocomposites is increased by 27.5%. The synthesis provides a new route to fabricate SmCo-based nanocomposites.
