magnetite, zinc ferrite, XRD, nanoparticle size, Debye–Scherrer formula, Williamson–Hall method, crystal lattice parameter, Raman scatteringAbstract
The possibility of producing magnetite and zinc ferrite nanocrystals using the electrolytic method has been studied. The synthesis of nanoparticles occurred in an electrolyzer with Fe or Fe + Zn electrodes immersed in an aqueous solution of NaCl. X-ray diffraction (XRD) studies were applied to determine the composition of the obtained specimens, the nanocrystal sizes, and the crystal lattice parameters. The nanocrystal sizes were calculated using the Debye–Scherrer formula, the Williamson–Hall method, and the dimensional deformation method. It was shown that the application of iron electrodes leads to the formation of magnetite nanocrystals, whereas the combination of iron and zinc electrodes results in the appearance of the “zinc ferrite–zinc oxide” system. Analysis of the Raman spectra of the studied specimens confirmed the XRD results.
