“…NiFe 2 O 4 is a cubic ferromagnetic oxide with a typical inverse spinel structure where Ni 2+ ions occupy octahedric B-sites and Fe 3+ ions equally distributed between tetrahedric A-sites and octahedric B-sites 13 . Nanoscale NiFe 2 O 4 ferrites have been successfully synthesized by various methods including sol-gel 11,[14][15][16] , solid-state reaction 6,[17][18] , co-precipitation 7,12,19,20 , mechanochemical 21 , rheological phase reaction method 22 , pulsed wire discharge 23 , arc plasma assisted gas phase synthesis method 24 , combustion 25 , surfactant-assisted refluxing method 26 , micromulsion 27 , electrospinning 28 , thermolysis of mixed metal-oleate complexes 29 , sonochemical 30 and hydrothermal [31][32][33][34][35] . In this paper, we report a novel one-step, simple method to directly synthesize uniform, mass-production nanostructured NiFe 2 O 4 by the composite-hydroxide-salt-mediated (CHSM) method.…”
