Tuning the photocatalytic performance through magnetization in Co-Zn ferrite nanoparticles

High-Performance Ferrite Nanoparticles through Nonaqueous Redox Phase Tuning.

From magnetic resonance imaging to cancer hyperthermia and wireless control of cell signaling, ferrite nanoparticles produced by thermal decomposition methods are ubiquitous across biomedical applications. While well-established synthetic protocols allow for precise control over the size and shape of the magnetic nanoparticles, structural defects within seemingly single-crystalline materials co...

Tuning the magnetic properties of Co-ferrite nanoparticles through the 1,2-hexadecanediol concentration in the reaction mixture.

This work reports on the effect of the 1,2-hexadecanediol content on the structural and magnetic properties of CoFe2O4 nanoparticles synthesized by thermal decomposition of metal-organic precursors in 1-octadecene. Although pseudo-spherical particles having an average size of about 8 nm and similar stoichiometry have been observed in all studied samples, a high level of variability in the cryst...

Superparamagnetism of Co-Ferrite Nanoparticles

Well-defined CoFe2O4 nanoparticles embedded in amorphous SiO2 matrix have been synthesized by sol-gel method, characterized and investigated by Mössbauer spectroscopy and magnetic measurements. The mean particle size was found to increase from 3 to 15 nm by varying the temperature of a subsequent annealing from 800 to 1100 ◦C. The composites exhibited superparamagnetic behavior with the blockin...

Study of Zn-Cu Ferrite Nanoparticles for LPG Sensing

Nanostructured zinc-copper mixed ferrite was synthesized using sol-gel method. XRD patterns of different compositions of zinc-copper ferrite, Zn(1-x)Cu(x)Fe2O4 (x = 0.0, 0.25, 0.50, 0.75), revealed single phase inverse spinel ferrite in all the samples synthesized. With increasing copper concentration, the crystallite size was found to be increased from 28 nm to 47 nm. The surface morphology of...
