A general approach for MFe 2 O 4 (M = Zn, Co, Ni) nanorods and their high performance as anode materials for lithium ion batteries

Synthesis and magneto-electrical properties of MFe2O4 (Co, Zn) nanoparticles by oleylamine route

“…As a typical ferrite spinel (AFe 2 O 4 ; A = Mn, Zn, Co, Ni, Cd), cobalt ferrite (CoFe 2 O 4 ) has received great interests due to its high magnetic and thermal stability and high anisotropy field. On the other hand, zinc ferrite is one of the most important spinel ferrite versatile and technologically important soft ferrite [12,13]. Thus, cobalt ferrite and zinc ferrite MNPs are comparable in size to the other MNPs, which have high coercivity and moderate saturation of magnetization, making them excellent candiates for similar uses to those of iron oxides for biomedical applications.…”

Electrospun synthesis and lithium storage properties of magnesium ferrite nanofibers

“…However, great challenges still remain in this field [3,4]. Carbonaceous material is widely used as anode material in lithium-ion batteries, duo to its low cost and long cycle life, but limited to its low theoretical capacity (372 mAh g À1 ) [5][6][7]. The demands for lithium-ion batteries with better electrochemical stability, higher power and energy density have promoted the development of new electrode materials.…”

“…Therefore, nanostructured transition metal oxides can offer a promising carbon alternative to anode material for lithium-ion batteries. Recently, MFe 2 O 4 (M = Co, Zn, Ni, Cu, Mg etc) nanocrystals have been explored as anode materials in lithium-ion batteries with high theoretical capacities of over 1000 mAh g À1 , which is much higher than carbonaceous anode materials [6,7,[20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34]. Among them, MgFe 2 O 4 has been firstly prepared as anode material for lithium-ion batteries by Sivakumar through high-energy ball milling technique [24].…”

CuFe2−xLuxO4 nanoparticles: synthesis through a green approach and its photocatalyst application

“…In this report, for the first time, we had presented the green approach for preparation of CuFe 2-x Lu x O 4 nanoparticles by a green approach in the presence of starch without adding external surfactant. This approach is simple and friendly to the environment [29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36].…”
