Synthesis, Structural and Magnetic Properties of Cobalt Ferrite (CoFe2O4) Nanoparticles by Simple Co-precipitation Technique

Abstract

In the present work, phase pure Cobalt ferrite (CoFe₂O₄) nanoparticles are successfully synthesized by simple co-precipitation method. Structural and morphological properties of synthesized material are studied by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) respectively. The results show that successfully formation of spherical nano particles with spinel crystalline structure. Strong peaks of Co, Fe and O are clearly observed in the EDX, which shows that the presence of these elements.
