In this work we studied the effect of mechanochemical activation on the formation of the cobalt ferrite phase from iron and cobalt oxalates. X-ray phase, X-ray diffraction and synchronous thermal analysis, scanning electron microscopy, low-temperature nitrogen adsorption-desorption method were used to study the composition and properties of the resulting product. It has been established that cobalt ferrite is formed at a temperature of 1100 °C during solid-phase interaction of the initial components, and the use of mechanochemical activation of the initial components in a roller-ring vibration mill makes it possible to reduce the synthesis temperature to 400 °C. It is shown that CoFe2O4 obtained using the method of mechanochemical synthesis has a more developed specific surface area and porous structure in comparison with cobalt ferrite obtained by the ceramic method.
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.
