The optical properties of multi-functionalized cobalt ferrite (CoFe2O4), cobalt zinc ferrite (Co0.5Zn0.5Fe2O4), and zinc ferrite (ZnFe2O4) nanoparticles have been enhanced by coating them with silica shell using a modified Stöber method. The ferrites nanoparticles were prepared by a modified citrate gel technique. These core/shell ferrites nanoparticles have been fired at temperatures: 400°C, 6...

ZnFe2O4 was fabricated by a simple solution-combustion method. The structural, optical and electronic properties are investigated by XRD, TEM, FESEM, UV-vis DRS, PL, FTIR and photocurrent measurements. The photocatalytic activity of the prepared material is studied with regard to the degradation of rhodamine B (Rh B) and Congo red under solar irradiation. The kinetic study showed that the mater...

The synthesis of ZnFe2O4 nanoparticles was performed using the solution combustion method with three types fuel, namely urea, glycine, and ethylenediamine tetra-acetic acid (EDTA) precursors (Zn(NO3)2.6H2O Fe(NO3)3.9H2O. process conducted in an open space at 300 °C for ± 1 h, resulting a brownish-black ZnFe2O4. Meanwhile, fuel type used affects physicochemical properties XRD analysis showed tha...

In this work, the structural and elastic moduli properties of ZnFe2O4, Zn0.5Cu0.5Fe2O4, and Ni0.3Cu0.2Zn0.5Fe2O4 ferrites prepared by the citrate method have been investigated. The structuralcharacterization of the samples is evidence for a cubic structure with Fd-3m space group. TheHalder-Wagner analysis was used to study crystallite sizes and lattice strain and also stressand energy density. ...

This paper aims to study the dielectric properties and carbothermic reduction of zinc oxide (zincite, ZnO) and zinc ferrite (franklinite, ZnFe2O4) by microwave heating. To achieve this aim, the dielectric properties were measured with an open-ended coaxial method to understand the behaviour of the samples under microwave irradiation. The effects of microwave power, duration time and sample mass...

This paper describes the design and synthesis of a heterojunction photoanode composed of highly-oriented Fe2O3/ZnFe2O4 nanocolumnar arrays with a well-defined morphology by reactive ballistic deposition and atomic layer deposition. This specific structure enhances the charge separation at the Fe2O3/ZnFe2O4 interface, leading to an improved photoelectrochemical performance for water oxidation.

An in-situ Raman spectroscopic study was conducted to explore the pressure induced phase transformation of spinel-type ferrite ZnFe2O4. Results indicate that ferrite ZnFe2O4 initially transforms to an orthorhombic structure phase (CaFe2O4polymorph) at a pressure of 24.6 GPa. Such a phase transformation is complete at 34.2 GPa, and continuously remains stable to the peak pressure of 61.9 GPa. Th...

Triple-shelled ZnFe2O4 hollow microspheres (ZFO) as anode materials for lithium ion battery are prepared through a one-pot hydrothermal reaction using the composite solution consisting of sucrose in water and metal ions in ethylene glycol (EG), followed by different calcination processes. The architectures of ZFO micro spheres are differently synthesized through a mutual cooperation of inward a...
