We report here a general chemical approach to synthesize strongly ferromagnetic rare-earth metal (REM) based SmCo and SmFeN nanoparticles (NPs) with ultra-large coercivity. The synthesis started with the preparation of hexagonal CoO+Sm₂O₃ (denoted as SmCo-O) multipods via decomposition of Sm(acac)₃ and Co(acac)₃ in oleylamine. These multipods were further reduced with Ca at 850 °C to form SmCo₅ NPs with sizes tunable from 50 to 200 nm. The 200 nm SmCo₅ NPs were dispersed in ethanol, and magnetically aligned in polyethylene glycol (PEG) matrix, yielding a PEG-SmCo₅ NP composite with the room temperature coercivity (H_c) of 49.2 kOe, the largest H_c among all ferromagnetic NPs ever reported, and saturated magnetic moment (M_s) of 88.7 emu g^-1, the highest value reported for SmCo₅ NPs. The method was extended to synthesize other ferromagnetic NPs of Sm₂Co₁₇, and, for the first time, of Sm₂Fe₁₇N₃ NPs with H_c over 15 kOe and M_s reaching 127.9 emu g^-1. These REM based NPs are important magnetic building blocks for fabrication of high-performance permanent magnets, flexible magnets, and printable magnetic inks for energy and sensing applications.
