Study of CoFe2O4 particles synthesized with various concentrations of PVP polymer

CoFe2O4 particles were synthesized using metallic nitrates and polyvinylpyrolidone (PVP) using sol-gel method followed by calcination for 2 h at 960 C. PVP performed as a surfactant and the effect of various concentrations of PVP on the resultant CoFe2O4 powder was studied. The resultant samples wer...

description CoFe2O4 particles were synthesized using metallic nitrates and polyvinylpyrolidone (PVP) using sol-gel method followed by calcination for 2 h at 960 C. PVP performed as a surfactant and the effect of various concentrations of PVP on the resultant CoFe2O4 powder was studied. The resultant samples were characterized by XRD, TG/DSC, HR-SEM and VSM. X-ray diffraction results indicated the crystalline phase of CoFe2O4 particles and impurity phase of hematite was observed for higher PVP concentrations. SEM images demonstrated the influence of PVP concentration on the size of the particles. By VSM measurements, the variations in magnetic properties with respect to PVP concentration are studied. All the magnetic characteristics H c, M s and M r increased for 6 wt% and 15 wt% of PVP concentration. The CoFe 2O4 particles synthesized with the optimum concentration of PVP may be very attractive for potential applications because of their outstanding magnetic properties (M s =81.1 Am2/kg, H c =831 Gauss).
