facile preparation of nife2o4/nacl nanocomposites by wet chemical co-precipitation

in this work, we utilized various iron salts {fe(no3)3, feso4 and fecl3} at the presence of aqueous solutions of nicl2 and naoh, respectively, to prepare nife2o4/nacl nanocomposites using wet chemical co-precipitation. the dark-brown products were afterwards calcined for 3 h at 600 ˚c. all products were characterized using fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (ft-ir), x-ray diffraction (xrd) and transmission electron microscopy (tem). xrd results confirmed formation of the nife2o4/nacl nanocomposites. the tem results revealed that the particles are relatively similar in cube-like shape; however, the size was distinct.
