A simple route to fabricate a surface layer comprising Fe3O4 nanoplates on a carbon steel has been successfully demonstrated using etching treatment followed by annealing in oxygen atmosphere. Different sizes of the Fe3O4 (3 1 1) exposed nanoplates can be fabricated by varying the annealing temperat...
