Abstract

• Cobalt Doped Nickel Ferrites with the general formula Nix–1 Cox Fe2 O4 (x = 0.0, 0.1, 0.2 and 0.3) were prepared by self-combustion method and sol-gel method. Nickel II Nitrate Hexahydrate [Ni (NO3)2 6 H2O], Cobalt II Nitrate Hexahydrate [Co (NO3)2 6H2O] and Iron (III) Nanohydrate [Fe(NO3)3 9H2O] were used as the starting chemicals. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis was carried out to investigate the crystalline phase formation. Microstructural properties were determined by SEM. Elemental composition characterization of prepared samples were performed by Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy(EDS).
