In this study, the effect of carbon nanotube (CNT) supports on the morphology and structural of copper ferrite nanoparticles has been investigated. The synthesis of CuFe 2 O 4 nanoparticles has been done through direct precipitation in aqueous solution with CNT content. The morphology of the synthesised samples has been studied by the use of scanning electron microscopy; structural properties have been investigated through X-ray diffraction spectrometer. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy apparatus was used to identify the functional groups on the surface of CNTs. The findings showed that the presence of CNT support in nanocomposite powder, the size of CuFe 2 O 4 significantly decreased and the powder morphology changed from agglomerate state to nanorodes.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
