Abstract

Cadmium ferrite nanoparticles (CdFe2O4 NPs) have been synthesized by impregnation method followed by heat treatment. Investigation the structural and morphogical properties of CdFe2O4 NPs was done using XRD, FTIR and TEM techniques. On the other hand, CdFe2O4 NPs' magnetic characteristics were investigated. The success of the preparation technique utilized to produce pure nanocrystalline pure CdFe2O4 with a size of 26 nm was validated by XRD findings. According to FTIR based functional groups, the resulting cadmium ferrite has random spinel structure. The morphological characteristics of the synthesized ferrite, as determined by TEM technique, highlight the production of spherical-like particles at the nanoscale. Additionally, the prepared ferrite displays low magnetization and coercivety with paramagnetic behavior. The current work provides new opportunities for the simple, cost-effective, and efficient synthesis of nanomaterials for usage in useful application such as gas sensing and photo catalysis.
