Synthesis and Structural Properties of Homogenous Nanoporous Lithium Substituted Magnesium Ferrite
Keywords:
Lithium substituted Magnesium Ferrite, Octahedral sites, Nanopores, Physisorption.Abstract
Nanotechnology progress in Lithium substituted Magnesium Ferrite offers the opportunity to study the role of nano-particles and nanopores in various applications like humidity sensing by physisorption of water vapors on magnesium ferrite and hydroelectric cell based on water dissociation by nanoporous ferrite. The nanoparticles synthesized by various researchers were not homogeneous as these involve very less calcinations time. In the present work, lithium is substituted in different proportions in Magnesium Ferrite. Synthesis of magnesium ferrite at low temperature generated very homogenous nanopores in microstructure. The nanoparticles of ferrite were prepared by solid state reaction method. The synthesized ferrites were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscope (SEM) and resemble the structure of ferrite.
