Nano-sized NiFe2O4 powders were synthesized by sol–gel auto-combustion method using pH values from 7 to 9 in the sol. The effect of pH variations on complexing behavior of the species in the sol has been explained. Changes in phase constituents, microstructure and magnetic properties by changes in pH values were evaluated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron micros...

Nano-powders of diluted magnetic semiconductor Zn1-xFexO (0.0≤ x ≤0.1) were prepared via the sol-gel auto-combustion method. Crystal structure and phase identification carried out by X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) analysis. Mean crystallite size of the powders was estimated by Scherrer's formula. As M-H loops of the Fe substituted ZnO showed ferromagnetic behavior. The result...

Nanocomposite zinc ferrites were synthesized using glycine-nitrates by sol–gel auto-combustion technique. The influence of calcination temperatures varying from 400 to 900°C on structural and magnetic properties of spinel ZnFe2O4 powders have been investigated.

ZrO2 nanopowder was prepared by the sol-gel auto-combustion method. The product was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), energy dispersive analysis of X-ray (EDX) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The average crystalline size of ZrO2 was obtained 62 nm. Also, photocatalytic removal of nitrophenol from aqueous solution by using nanoscale ZrO2 under UV ...

ZnO and Mn-ZnO nano powders were prepared by the sol-gel auto combustion method. The products were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), energy dispersive analysis of X-ray (EDX) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Structural and morphological properties of nano particles were investigated and the average crystalline size of ZnO and Mn-doped ZnO was obtained 44 and 51 nm, respectively. ...

Two Cu-Co and Co3O4 oxides were synthesized by the conventional sol-gel auto-combustion and their physical-chemical properties were characterized by XRD, FTIR, SEM, TPR and XPS. The XRD results indicated that copper-cobalt oxide appeared in a mixture form of Cu0.15Co2.85O4 spinel and CuO phases, whereas the cobalt oxide exhibited in the pure form of Co3O4 spinel. The FTIR approved the formation...

In this research nanoparticles of Ni0.55Zn0.35Cu0.1Fe2O4 were synthesized by sol–gel auto-combustion method. Changes in phase constituents, microstructure and magnetic properties as a result of Zn and Cu additions were evaluated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope (FESEM), and Vibration Sample Magnetometer (VSM) techniques. XRD results show that the doped sam...

The aim of this study is to evaluate the influence of pH on the synthesis of nanocrystallines cobalt ferrite by combination of sol- gel auto combustion and ultrasonic irradiation methods. Two different fuels, urea and thiourea, along with metal nitrates (oxidant) were used to prepare CoFe2O4 powders. The morphology of the resulting powders was investigated. The powders wer...
