Nanoparticles of spinel ferrite are metal oxides with a spinel structure of
general formula AB2O4, where A and B represent various metal cations located in
tetrahedral (A site) and octahedral (B sites). One of the spinel ferrites of the
formula AB2O4 is zinc ferrite (ZnFe2O4). The synthesis method used in ZnFe2O4 is
sonochemical because this method has the advantages of fast reaction rate, high
controllability and good shape uniformity. The synthesis was carried out with the
first stirring time for 2 hours and the second stirring for 2 hours with a stirring
temperature of 80oC and followed by a sonication step for 30 minutes. The
variation given is the sintering temperature of the ZnFe 2O4 material with
temperatures of 950oC, 1050oC, and 1150oC. Phase identification using XRD
characterization resulted in the phase of zinc ferrite being franklinite and also
getting the smallest crystal size with a value of 70.58 nm. Morphological
identification using SEM characterization resulted in irregularly shaped and
uniformly clustered materials. Identification of functional groups using FTIR
characterization resulted in the wavelength range of 400-600cm-1 having a basic
lattice of Fe-O and Zn-O which occupy tetrahedral and octahedral positions,
respectively. Magnetic identification using VSM characterization resulted that the
sample was softmagnetic and obtained several values of Mr, Ms, and Hc. ZnFe2O4
with a sintering temperature of 1150 oC in this study has the potential to be used as
a microwave device.
