“…In recent years, the low cost, environmentally friendly nature, chemical, and physical properties of spinel structured complex metal oxides containing two or more types of cations following controlled size and shape have been receiving considerable interest for multifaceted applications . It is reported that magnetic dipoles provided by ferrites having a high value of magnetic permeability and considerable magnetic loss to reduce unwanted EM radiation. , However, ferrite cannot effectively absorb electromagnetic wave due to weak magnetic loss in the high-frequency region due to the Snoek’s limit. − Recently, cobalt based nonferritic spinel oxides, MCo 2 O 4 (MNi, Zn and Mn) have been receiving considerable amount of attention due to their several structure/composition-dependent advantages. − MCo 2 O 4 can be prepared by variety of methods, such as hydrothermal, solvothermal, sol–gel, solid-state, thermal decomposition of organometallic compounds, spray pyrolysis, microwave plasma, etc. These nonferrites find application in a variety of fields, such as lithium-ion batteries, supercapacitors, fuel cell, sensors, electrocatalysts, and magnetic materials, etc.…”
