COPPER FERRITE NANOCOMPOSITES:
• It has an inverse spinal structure, with Cu2+ cations in octahedral sites if it
is classically obtained from oxides by ceramic techniques.
• These particles also have good magnetism (ferrimagnetic in both crystal
systems), and high purity, which provides a good condition for recovery
and reuse of catalysts.
• Copper Ferrite is generally available in submicron and nano powder forms.

• Tetragonal copper ferrite nanoparticles were fabricated
by a thermal-treatment method by using a solution that
contained poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) as a capping
agent and Cu and Fe nitrates as alternative sources of
metal.
• Heat treatment was conducted at temperatures between
673 and 823 K, and final products had different
crystallite sizes ranging from 11 to 42 nm. The
influence of calcinations temperature on the degree of
crystalline, morphology, microstructure, and phase
composition was investigated by different
characterization techniques, i.e., XRD, TEM, FESEM,
and FT-IR spectroscopy, respectively.
• The compositions of the samples were determined by
energy dispersion X-ray analysis (EDXA), which
revealed the presence of Cu, Fe, and O in the samples.
• The formed nanoparticles exhibited ferromagnetic
behavior with unpaired electrons spins, which was
confirmed by using a vibrating sample magnetometer
(VSM) and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR)
spectroscopy.

• CuFe2O4 (CF) is synthesized by one pot energy saving
solution combustion synthesis. The combustion derived
copper ferrite nano adsorbent is characterized by powder X-
ray diffraction, Fourier transform infra-red spectroscopy,
scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron
microscopy and UV–Vis spectroscopy.
• The magnetic behavior is studied by Vibrating sample
magnetometer measurements and the results shows
it’s a soft ferromagnetic with low saturation
magnetization and coercive effect.
• XRD pattern suggests that the prepared CuFe2O4 has a
cubic spinel structure, in which Cu2+ ions occupy the
tetrahedral sites and Fe3+ ions occupy the octahedral
sites of the crystal lattice.
• The FTIR spectra recorded for CuFe2O4 nanoparticles
in the range between 4000 and 450 cm−1.The spectra
give information about the chemical, molecular
structure and impurities present in the synthesized
ferrites
• SEM results showed that the morphology of the samples
shows agglomerated clusters with huge voids and pores.
