| Abstract: | Nanocrystalline Mg0.6Cd0.4Fe2O4 ferrite powders were produced by the glycine-nitrate auto-combustion method for the first time. The influence of the different molar ratios of glycine-to-nitrate G.N?1) on the characteristics of the prepared powders was systematically investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy (ICP-OES), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) and vibrating sample magnetometry (VSM). Thermodynamic calculations revealed that the adiabatic flame temperature changes from 598.79 K to 1757.97 K by increasing the G.N?1 ratios from 0.30 to 0.85. The results confirmed that under fuel-lean combustion (G.N?1 = 0.30), Mg0.6Cd0.4Fe2O4 nanoparticles can be obtained at a significantly lower temperature and shorter synthesis time, compared to other preparation methods like standard ceramic and co-precipitation. The XRD and ICP results showed that the crystallite size of the powders changes in the range of 8–43 nm, and their Cd content notably decreases with increasing the G.N?1 values. The FE-SEM results proved that the porosity and size of the as-prepared ferrite nanoparticles drastically change with variations in the G.N?1 ratio. The evolution of phase, crystallite/particle size, and magnetic properties after annealing was discussed in detail. At the optimized annealing condition, the synthesized Mg0.6Cd0.4Fe2O4 ferrite offered a high saturation magnetization of 41.70 Am2 kg?1 and a coercivity of 1.92 kA m?1, indicating noticeably better soft magnetic properties compared to the same ferrite produced by the other wet chemical methods. |
