The Effects of Fuel Type Above Adsorbtive Properties of the Nickel Ferrite Nanoparticles Synthesized with Microwave Method

In this study, we were able to develop a new and practical method for the synthesis of the NiFe2O4 nanoparticles. The synthesis of nickel ferrite nanoparticles was used various fuel substances such as glycine, urea and citric acid. The synthesis mixture prepared in stoichiometric rates was put in to the kitchen type microwave oven. In the end of reaction time was obtained a brown-black solid. The obtained solid was characterized with X-Ray Powder Diffraction and Scanning Electron Microscopy. The results of this analysis showed that all of the obtained particles has got nano-size particle size distribution. Later, the nanoparticles were analyzed by using a surface area analyzer and their adsorptive properties were investigated such as surface area and average pore size. We observed that the nanoparticles prepared with urea has the highest surface area. However, fuel type used in synthesis is quite effective on the surface properties of NiFe2O4 nanoparticles.
