PREPARATION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF MAGNESIUM FERRITE (MgFe2O4) NANOPARTICLES
Abstract
- The materials with porous structure and high surface area are very popular for several applications in nanotechnology in the current years. The present research deals with a study on the synthesis and characterization of (spinels) nanoparticles (MgFe2O4). Two types of MgFe2O4 nanoparticles were synthesized by sol-gel method using two different acids such as acetic acid and formic acid. The metal nitrates such as magnesium nitrate and ferric nitrate were used as oxidizers. The gels were dried in the oven at temperature of 105°C to obtain constant weights. The resulting samples were thermally treated in the muffle furnace at temperature of 400 ºC for four hours to get required MgFe2O4 nanoparticles. The prepared samples were characterized by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform Infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and Energy Dispersive X-ray fluorescence (EDXRF).
