摘要: Bi$_{2}$Fe$_{4}$O$_{9}$ nanosheets were prepared using a hydrothermal method, followed by the introduction of NaBH$_{4}$ and high-temperature calcination, which successfully induced strong ferromagnetism in the material at room temperature ($M_{\rm S} = 10.22$ emu/g and $M_{\rm r} = 2.93$ emu/g). This work demonstrates for the first time that Bi$_{2}$Fe$_{4}$O$_{9}$ can exhibit such strong ferromagnetism at room temperature, with potential for further enhancements. Meanwhile, the ferroelectric properties of the samples were investigated. X-ray diffraction confirmed that the samples were single-phase with no detectable impurities. Based on a series of characterization analyses, it is inferred that Bi vacancies contribute to the observed strong magnetism.
