Structural and Chemical Properties of ZnFe2O4 Nanoparticles Synthesised by Chemical Co-Precipitation Technique

In the present work, Zn-ferrite nanoparticles have been synthesized by chemical co-precipitation method. Prepared samples were characterized by XRD and FTIR to study its structural and chemical properties. The formation of single phase with Fd-3m space group of Zn- ferrite was revealed by XRD and also studied the effect of synthesis techniques on structural parameters. Crystallite size of ZnFe2O4 was found to be 26.11 nm. The FTIR spectra showed two expected bands in the range 550-560 cm1 (i.e. U1) and 400 -410 cm1 (i.e. u2) which confirms the formation of ferrite phase.
