Preparation and characterization of iron/titanium-oxide composite particles

► A novel iron/titanium-oxide composite particle was successfully synthesized by the “in-situ” reduction reaction method. ► The hyperfine parameters of the prepared powders (high-spin iron(II/III)) were obtained using Mössbauer spectroscopy. ► Microwave absorption was investigated for iron/titanium-oxide composite particles. ► To the best of our knowledge, it is the first attempt to combine the advantages of dielectric and magnetic based absorbers.
