AI Article Synopsis
Article Abstract
Magnetic nanostructures of CoFeO were synthesized via a microwave-assisted hydrothermal route. The prepared nanostructures were investigated using X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission electron microscopy (FE-SEM), energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) spectroscopy, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HR-TEM), selective area electron diffraction (SAED) pattern, DC magnetization, and dielectric spectroscopy measurements. The crystal structure studied using HR-TEM, SAED, and XRD patterns revealed that the synthesized nanostructures had a single-phase nature and ruled out the possibility of any secondary phase. The lattice parameters and unit cell volume determined from the XRD data were found to be 8.4821 Å and 583.88 Å. The average crystallite size (~7.0 nm) was determined using Scherrer's equation. The FE-SEM and TEM micrographs revealed that the prepared nanostructures had a spherical shape morphology. The EDX results showed that the major elements present in the samples were Co, Fe, and O. The magnetization (M) versus temperature (T) measurements specified that the CoFeO nanostructures showed ferromagnetic ordering at room temperature. The blocking temperature (T) determined using the M-T curve was found to be 315 K. The magnetic hysteresis (M-H) loop of the CoFeO nanostructures recorded at different temperatures showed the ferromagnetic behavior of the CoFeO nanostructures at temperatures of 200 K and 300 K, and a superparamagnetic behavior at 350 K. The dielectric spectroscopy studies revealed a dielectric constant (ε') and loss tangent (tanδ) decrease with the increase in the frequency, as well as demonstrating a normal dispersion behavior, which is due to the Maxwell-Wagner type of interfacial polarization. The values of ε' and tanδ were observed to increase with the increase in the temperature.

Magnetic oxide films with a strong anomalous Hall effect (AHE) have attracted much attention due to their strong sensitivity and high polarization for magnetic sensor applications. However, the linearity of the anomalous Hall sensors still needs improving. In this work, we propose to use the interface regulation to improve the linearity of the AHE.

Neodymium (Nd) based perovskite (NdCoFeO) nanostructures were processed to address the rising energy and environment crisis through offering solutions by photocatalytic and photoelectrochemical (PEC) water splitting reactions. The impact of cobalt (Co) ions on the physicochemical properties of Nd-perovskites were studied using X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman and electron microscopic instruments. The interaction of metal ions was studied in depth via X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS).

Solar water splitting is a clean and sustainable process for green hydrogen production. It can reduce the fossil fuel consumption. Tantalum nitride (TaN) is one of the limited candidates of semiconductors, which absorb a broad range of visible light and are thermodynamically able to split water without external bias potential.

Magnetic nanostructures with flux-closure state or single-domain state have widespread application in diverse memory devices. However, an insight into the modulation of these variable states within one specific magnetic material is rarely reported but still needed. Herein, these micromagnetic configurations within prototypical cobalt ferrite (CoFeO) nanostructures in different size and dimension were studied by modulating the assembly of CoFeO building blocks.

Here, we demonstrate that nonprecious CoFe-based oxide nanoarrays exhibit excellent electrocatalytic activity and superior stability for electrochemical oxygen evolution reaction (OER) at large current densities (>500 mA cm). Carbon fiber paper (CFP) with three-dimensional macroporous structure, excellent corrosion resistance, and high electrical properties is used as the support material to prevent surface passivation during the long-term process of OER. Through a facile method of hydrothermal synthesis and thermal treatment, vertically aligned arrays of spinel Co FeO nanostructures are homogeneously grown on CFP.
