Abstract :

Synthesis of ferrite materials at nano dimension using microwave route enhances the synthetic chemistry of nanomaterials. It is an energy efficient method, less time consuming method and also known for its simplicity. Bimetallic oxide nanomaterial preparation using microwave route finds much importance in the field of synthetic technology. Microwave route is used for the preparation of cobalt ferrite using polymer as a fuel in the present study. As prepared cobalt ferrite sample was characterized for its structure by employing powder X–ray diffraction (XRD) tool. The morphology of as prepared oxide material was studied by Scanning Electron Micrograph (SEM) tool. Fourier Transform infrared (FTIR) spectral study was undertaken to know the bonding in the prepared oxide sample. Thermal behavior of the sample was well studied.
