“…Conventionally, CoFe 2 O 4 nanopowder is fabricated by sol-gel method [6][7][8], co-precipitation method [9][10][11] and hydrothermal method [12,13]. However, the difficulty on the control of solution pH value during the chemical dynamic process, and the requirement of strict and sophisticated drying conditions as well as expensive alkoxide precursors, respectively, makes the coprecipitation and sol-gel methods not so effective for obtaining highly qualified CoFe 2 O 4 nanopowder.…”
