Abstract
ZnFe2O4 nanomaterials were synthesized using the sol-gel method with different fuels: citric acid, tartaric acid, ascorbic acid and glucose monohydrate. The effects of organic fuel type and calcination temperature on the magnetic properties of zinc ferrite were studied. X-ray diffraction analysis, thermogravimetric analysis, differential scanning calorimetry, and transmission electron microscopy were used to investigate the process of zinc ferrite formation during the calcination of intermediate gel products, as well as to analyze the crystal structure and samples morphology. The formation of hematite and wurtzite secondary phases was confirmed for some materials, and the influence of heat treatment conditions on impurity formation was discussed. The particle size of zinc ferrite was 11–39 nm depending on the calcination temperature and selected fuel. According to data obtained using a vibrating sample magnetometer, the ZnFe2O4 nanoparticles exhibited ferrimagnetic behavior with saturation magnetization values of 1.92–15.61 emu/g. Changing the fuel type and the calcination temperature makes it possible to obtain ZnFe2O4 nanomaterials with specific magnetic properties.
期刊介绍:
The primary objective of the Journal of Sol-Gel Science and Technology (JSST), the official journal of the International Sol-Gel Society, is to provide an international forum for the dissemination of scientific, technological, and general knowledge about materials processed by chemical nanotechnologies known as the "sol-gel" process. The materials of interest include gels, gel-derived glasses, ceramics in form of nano- and micro-powders, bulk, fibres, thin films and coatings as well as more recent materials such as hybrid organic-inorganic materials and composites. Such materials exhibit a wide range of optical, electronic, magnetic, chemical, environmental, and biomedical properties and functionalities. Methods for producing sol-gel-derived materials and the industrial uses of these materials are also of great interest.
