Abstract:Zinc ferrite pigments have emerged as potential candidates
for
enabling technology for large-scale energy-saving applications, which
are safer, more accessible, and less damaging to the environment when
compared to similar rare-earth-based colorants. Introducing transition
metals into the ZnFe2O4 host lattice may distort
the normally ordered lattice. A mineralizer was employed to further
tune the color and infrared (IR)-reflective properties. NaCl lowered
the crystallization temperature of the spinel zinc ferr… Show more
