Abstract

In this review, iron atom-supported on certain materials through sol-gel hydrothermal treatment using non-ionic surfactant (Pluronic P123) has been studied. The amphiphilic triblock copolymer P123 as not only a template and but also a precursor of carbon material. The ratio between the Pluronic P123 and iron precursor have significant effect to control the structural and textural properties of resulting material. Triblock copolymer P123 have the positif effect to control the aggregation and oxidation of Fe particles and this scope have been studied as the technical challenges development. The various surface modification and particle stabilization strategies have been developed by controlling the use of Triblock copolymer P123
