Synthesis and characterization of nickel ferrite magnetic nanoparticles by co-precipitation method AIP Conf. Proc. 1502, 221 (2012); 10.1063/1.4769146Study of reversible and irreversible magnetization processes of coprecipitated cobalt ferrite Summary Abstract: Investigation of the metalsupport interaction in coprecipitated nickel on alumina methanation catalysts using xray photoelectron spectroscopyIn the present contribution, four transition metal ferrites, namely the manganese perovskite MnFeO 3 and the nickel, cobalt and zinc spinels NiFe 2 O 4 , CoFe 2 O 4 , and ZnFe 2 O 4 , were investigated through XPS (X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy). The synthesis route for the analyzed materials involved the precipitation of metal oxalates from an aqueous solution of metallic salts and oxalic acid. The precipitate was then isolated and calcined at 900 C in order to obtain the crystalline ferrite powders. Along with survey scans of the analyzed samples, detailed spectra of the O 1s, C 1s, Fe 2p and M 2p (where M = Mn, Ni, Co, Zn depending on the compound in question) regions were collected. The data resulting from these analyses is discussed.
