Electrochemical Performance of Nanocrystalline Zinc Ferrite Films Synthesized Using Electrodeposition

Abstract:

Nanocrystalline spinel zinc ferrite ZnFe₂O₄ thin film has been studied and synthesized via the electrodeposition-anodization process. Electrodeposited ZnFe₂ alloys were obtained from aqueous sulphate bath. The resulted alloys were electrochemically oxidized in strong alkaline solution (1 M KOH) at room temperature to the analogous hydroxides. The electroanodized ZnFe₂alloy film was annealed in air at 400 °C for 2 h to get the required zinc ferrite. The electrochemical factors controlling of the electrodeposition of ZnFe₂ alloys such as the bath temperature, agitation, the current density were studied and optimized. The crystal structure, crystal size and microstructure of the produced ferrites were investigated using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The deposited film was mainly composed of ZnFe₂O₄ based on XRD studies. The produced film had a spinel structure and the crystallite size was 4.9 nm. SEM micrograph of the resulted zinc ferrite particles shows compact crystallites shapes and agglomerated chains with smallest semicircular particles like morphology.
