研究目的
To ameliorate the structural and magnetic properties of Li–NiCo nanocrystals for their possible role in technological applications as high-density storage devices.
研究成果
The synthesized LiNi0.35-yCo0.15PryNdxFe2-xO4 spinel ferrites exhibit spinel structure with some orthophase, crystallite sizes in the nanometer range, and magnetic properties suitable for reducing electromagnetic interference in transformers and induction applications. The small anisotropic constant indicates isotropic nature, making them promising for high-density storage devices.
研究不足
The study is limited to the specific synthesis method (micro-emulsion) and the range of dopant concentrations used (x, y up to 0.175). The presence of orthophase impurities in the spinel structure may affect properties, and the magnetic properties show inhomogeneous behavior with doping. Further optimization of synthesis parameters and exploration of other dopants or methods could be areas for improvement.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study used the micro-emulsion method to synthesize LiNi
2:35-yCo15PryNdxFe2-xO4 ferrites with varying concentrations of Nd and Pr (x, y = 0 to 175). This method was chosen for controlling particle size and morphology. Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Samples were prepared using specific chemical precursors including Lithium Chloride, Nickel Chloride Hexa-hydrate, Praseodymium nitrate hexa-hydrate, Cobalt acetate tetra-hydrate, Neodymium nitrate hexa-hydrate, Iron nitrate nano-hydrate, and Cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB).
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Equipment included a muffle Vulcan A-550 furnace for annealing at 950°C, Philips X’Pert PRO 3040/60 diffractometer for XRD analysis, Nexus 470 spectrometer for FTIR, and Lakeshore-74071 VSM for magnetic property measurements. Materials were the chemical precursors listed.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
Solutions of the metals and CTAB were prepared in distilled water, mixed, heated to 55°C, pH adjusted to 10 with aqueous NH3, stirred for 5h, precipitates washed and dried at 100°C, ground, annealed at 950°C, and characterized using XRD, FTIR, and VSM.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
XRD data analyzed using Debye Scherrer’s formula for crystallite size, lattice parameter calculation, and X-ray density. FTIR spectra analyzed for vibration bands and force constants. VSM data used to determine saturation magnetization, coercivity, retentivity, and anisotropic constant.
