Microstructure and magnetic properties of MFe 2 O 4 (M = Co, Ni, and Mn) ferrite nanocrystals prepared using colloid mill and hydrothermal method Journal of Applied Physics 117, 17A328 (2015) Nickel substituted cobalt ferrite nanoparticles with composition Co 1−x Ni x Fe 2 O 4 (0.0≤x≤1.0) was synthesized using simple, low temperature auto combustion method. The X-ray diffraction patterns reveal the formation of cubic phase spinel structure. The crystallite size varies from 30-44 nm with the nickel content. Porous and agglomerated morphology of the bulk sample was displayed in the scanning electron microscopy. Micro Raman spectroscopy reveals continuous shift of E g and E g (2) stokes line up to 0.8 Ni substitution. The dispersion behavior of the dielectric constant with frequency and the semicircle nature of the impedance spectra show the cobalt nickel ferrite to have high resistance. The ferromagnetic nature is observed in all the samples, however, the maximum saturation magnetization was achieved by the 0.4 Ni substituted cobalt ferrite, which is up to the 92.87 emu/gm at 30K.

Contact angle measurements (surface wettability) of the electrolytes (1 M KOH, NaOH and LiOH) and their combination (1 M 1 : 1 v/v LiOH + KOH, NaOH + KOH and LiOH + NaOH) in contact with ZnFe2O4 nano-flake based electrodes is used as an empirical diagnostic tool to pre-evaluate the performance of a supercapacitor prior to actual fabrication of the device.
