Study of Defect-Induced Chemical Modifications in Spinel Zinc-Ferrites Nanostructures by In-Depth XPS Investigation

Spinel zinc ferrite nanomaterials with exceptional physiochemical properties are potential candidates for various applications in the energy and environmental fields. Their can be tailored using several methods to widen their applications. The chemical combustion approach was followed prepare spinel nanomaterials, which were then subjected thermal treatment at a fixed temperature. Thermal heat temperature used evaluate phase morphological characteristics of prepared zinc?ferrite nanocomposites. Various techniques employed examine samples, including X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission (TEM), Raman spectroscopy, photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). XPS X-ray?induced Auger extensively surface zinc?ferrite. To study actual states synthesized defects created during treatment, an extensive investigation kinetic Zn L3M45M45 Fe conducted. Finally, detailed analysis Wagner plot modified parameter performed verify exact Fe. Thus, findings show that is promising powerful technique composition ferrites, providing understanding changes functional
