研究目的
To characterize the structural, optical, and dielectric properties of Cu0.5Zn0.5Fe2O4 and Ni0.5Zn0.5Fe2O4 ferrites synthesized by co-precipitation method and compare them with each other.
研究成果
The substitutions of Cu and Ni into ZnFe2O4 affect structural, optical, and dielectric properties. Ni substitution reduces crystal size and increases band gap, while Cu substitution results in higher dielectric constant and AC conductivity at low frequencies due to structural parameters and electron transitions. The AC conductivity increases with frequency and temperature. These findings are significant for applications in electronics and materials science, suggesting potential for tailored ferrite properties through doping.
研究不足
The pH value after precipitation was not reduced to neutral, leading to particle aggregation observed in SEM. The study is limited to specific compositions and synthesis conditions; further optimization of parameters like pH and temperature could improve results.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study used the co-precipitation method for synthesis due to its simplicity and ability to control size and homogeneity.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Ferrite nanoparticles were prepared using Fe(NO3)
3:9H2O, Ni(NO3)6H2O, Zn(NO3)6H2O, and Cu(NO3)3H2O precursors from Merck, Germany. List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Equipment included X-ray diffractometer (Bruker AXS D8 Advanced Model), SEM (Zeiss EVO LS10), EDX, Raman spectrometer (Witec Alpha M+), UV-Vis spectrometer, and LCR-meter (GW Instek). Materials were chemical salts and NaOH.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
Salts were dissolved in distilled water, stirred at 80°C and 750 rpm, NaOH added to pH=12, precipitated, filtered, washed, dried at 80°C for 24h, and calcined at 500°C for 5h. Pellets were made for dielectric measurements.
5:5h. Pellets were made for dielectric measurements. Data Analysis Methods:
5. Data Analysis Methods: XRD data analyzed using Scherrer formula for crystal size, lattice parameter calculation; optical data analyzed using Tauc plot for band gap; dielectric and conductivity data analyzed using specified formulas.
