Abstract
Co–Zn ferrites (Co1-xZnxFe2O4; where x ranges from 0 to 1) nanopowders were synthesized using ultrasonication-assisted co-precipitation. X-ray diffraction (XRD) studies confirmed the single-phase cubic structure for all the powders. A shift in the peak positions and increased unit cell dimensions were observed with Zn substitution. The morphological properties of the powders were characterized by field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), which revealed no significant changes in morphology with Zn substitution. The increase in optical energy gap value was observed with Zn concentration. Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy showed a decrease in linewidth and Landé g-factor with increasing Zn content. Magnetic hysteresis studies (VSM) revealed the highest magnetization at x = 0.2 and the lowest at x = 0.8. The antiproliferative activity of the synthesized powders was tested against MCF-7, HeLa, and Hep G-2 cancer cell lines. The sample with Zn concentration x = 0.4 exhibited potent activity against HeLa cells with potency nearly equal to reference rug cisplatin, while the sample with x = 0.5 showed considerable activity against Hep G-2 cells.
