“…One goal of NiFe2O4 research and development has been to identify simpler processing schemes that do not rely upon high-temperature treatments for inducing solid-state reactions. As a result several techniques have already been used to produce NiFe2O4 nanostructures, including hydrothermal reactions (Figure 20) (Kesavan et al, 2020), coprecipitation (Fa-Shen et al, 1988), combustion synthesis (Kooti and Sedeh, 2013), thermal decomposition (Karpova et al, 2012), sol−gel method (Pradeep et al, 2008), microwave processing (Köseoǧlu, 2013), electrospinning (Saensuk et al, 2015), reverse micelle technique (Kale et al, 2004), plasma deposition method (Nawale et al, 2011), radio frequency thermal plasma torch technique (Son et al, 2002), pulsed wire discharge (Yatsui, 2002), sonochemical synthesis (Lu et al, 2006), and high-energy milling (Šepelák et al, 2007(Šepelák et al, , Marinca et al, 2011. This last method can deliver nanocrystalline ferrites (and oxides in general) either by particle size reduction of bulk material to the nanometer scale without changes in its chemical composition or by inducing a heterogeneous solid-state chemical reaction between the ferrite precursors, i.e., by the mechanically induced formation reaction (mechanosynthesis) (Šepelák et al, 2007).…”
