With the aim of studying the influence of synthesis parameters in structural and magnetic properties of cobalt-doped magnetite nanoparticles, Fe3-xCoxO₄ (0 < x < 0.15) samples were synthetized by thermal decomposition method at different reaction times (30-120 min). The Co ferrite nanoparticles are monodisperse with diameters between 6 and 11 nm and morphologies depending on reaction times, var...

Heterostructured nanowires, such as core/shell nanowires and nanoparticle-decorated nanowires, are versatile building blocks for a wide range of applications because they integrate dissimilar materials at the nanometer scale to achieve unique functionalities. The sol-flame method is a new, rapid, low-cost, versatile, and scalable method for the synthesis of heterostructured nanowires, in which ...

Herein, magnetic cobalt ferrite nanoparticles (CFNPs) was synthesized and its surface was modified by cationic surfactant (cetyltrimethyl ammonium bromide: CTAB) and its potential to selective removal of dye from multicomponent (ternary) system was investigated. Direct red 31 (DR31), Direct green 6 (DG6) and Direct red 23 (DR23) were used as a model dyes. The characteristics of the synthesi...

A general and simple approach for large-scale synthesis of porous hollow spinel AFe2O4 nanoarchitectures via metal organic framework self-sacrificial template strategy is proposed. By employing this method, we can successfully synthesize uniform NiFe2O4, ZnFe2O4, and CoFe2O4 hollow architectures that are hierarchically assembled by nanoparticles. When these hollow microcubes were tested as anod...

pure and zno-doped ni0.1co0.9fe2o4 catalyst were prepared by co-precipitation method and thermal decomposition in air calcinated at 400-700°c and that treated with different amounts of zinc nitrate (0.46-2.25 w% zno). x-ray powder diffractometry, scanning electron microscopy (sem) and bet analysis of nitrogen adsorption isotherms investigated the crystalline bulk structure and the surface area ...

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...

Anisotropic nano-plate structures in self-assembled perovskite-spinel thin films, BiFeO3-NiFe2O4 and BiFeO3-CoFe2O4, which were deposited on (001)c SrRuO3/SrTiO3 and DyScO3 substrates, respectively, have been demonstrated using transmission electron microscopy combined with strain analysis. Unlike the unitary cube-on-cube orientation relationship reported widely, the growth direction of the CoF...

A series of cobalt-containing redox couples, based on [Co(1,10-phenanthroline)(3)](ClO(4))(2) and its derivatives, were prepared for use as regenerators/shuttles in dye-sensitized solar cells featuring modified TiO(2) photoelectrodes. Surface modification and trap-state passivation of the TiO(2) nanoparticle film electrodes were accomplished via atomic layer deposition of an ultrathin alumina c...
