The paper introduces the synthesis of new cobalt ferrite-lignin hybrids using different lignins as combustion agents, and characterizes the hybrids at different calcination temperatures while evaluating their magnetic properties. The results show that hybrids comprising organic lignin exhibit the best magnetic properties.
The paper presents the synthesis and characterization of new cobalt ferrite-lignin hybrids. The hybrids were obtained through the combustion of cobalt nitrate and ferric nitrate, two kinds of lignin being used as combustion agents. The temperatures of calcination were 500 degrees C and 900 degrees C, respectively. The hybrids were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The magnetic properties were also assessed by vibrating sample magnetometer system (VSM). This facile synthesis method made it possible to obtain cobalt ferrite-lignin hybrids with a spinel structure. Their particle sizes and crystallite sizes have increased with an increment in the calcination temperature. A different occupancy of cations at octahedral and tetrahedral sites also occurred upon the increase in temperature. The hybrids comprising organic lignin presented the best magnetic properties.
