In the present work, zinc‐ferrite [ZnFe2O4] nanoparticles (NPs) are synthesized by the chemical coprecipitation method. The x‐ray diffraction pattern affirms the arrangement of the cubic spinel structure. SEM micrographs reveal the polyhedral crystal‐like shape. FTIR spectrum confirm the characteristic functional groups present in the spinel zinc ferrite NPs. The UV‐visible absorption and fluorescence spectra confirm that zinc ferrite NPs are optically active and hence can possess potential applications in light‐harvesting and photocatalytic activity.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
