Original language description

This paper reports a honey-mediated green synthesis of ZnFe2O4 spinel ferrite nanoparticles and the effect of further annealing on structural, magnetic, optical, dielectric and electrical properties. X-ray diffraction study confirmed the well formation of ZnFe2O4 spinel ferrite crystal structure. Raman and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy confirmed the formation of spinel ferrite crystal structure. The scanning electron microscopy study revealed the formation of spherical morphology at lower annealing temperature with achieved particle size 30–60 nm, whereas, octahedral like morphology at higher annealing temperature with particle size 50–400 nm. Magnetization measurements were carried out using a vibrating sample magnetometer at room temperature. The estimated magnetic parameter such as saturation magnetization (Ms), remanence (Mr) and coercivity (Hc) showed variation in value with nano-crystallite size. The highest saturation magnetization (Ms) was 12.81 emu/g for as-synthesized ZnFe2O4 spinel ferrite nanoparticles, whereas, highest coercivity (Hc) was 25.77 Oe for ZnFe2O4 nanoparticles annealed at high temperature 1000 °C. UV–Visible reflectance spectroscopy showed the band gap variation from 1.90 eV to 2.14 eV with the increase of annealing temperature. The dielectric constant and dielectric loss were decreased with frequency showing the normal behavior of spinel ferrites. The variation in conductivity is explained in terms of the variation in microstructure and variation in the mobility of charge carriers associated with the cation redistribution induced by annealing or grain size. The modulus and impedance spectroscopy study revealed the influence of bulk grain and the grain boundary on the electrical resistance and capacitance of ZnFe2O4 nanoparticles. The results presented in this work are helpful for green synthesis of well-controlled size, morphology and physical properties of ZnFe2O4 nanoparticles.
