摘要

Magnetite (Fe3O4) and strontium spinel ferrite (SrFe2O4) nanoparticles were prepared effectively using co-precipitation method. FT-IR, SEM, and XRD analyses were performed to confirm NPs structure. Inclusion of CTAB as a surfactant agent increased the crystal size ⁓ 13.60 to 83.93 nm and increased the lattice constant, while maintaining the spinel ferrite cubic crystal structure. According to SEM micrographs, CTAB significantly altered the shape structure from cauliflower to cubic, with grain sizes ranging from 53.78 ± 0.92 to 141.4 ± 2.2 nm. The spinel cubic structure with a crystal size of 22.85 nm is formed when Fe2+ is used during preparation steps; however, SrFe2O4 sample is indexed as a hematite rhomboidal structure in addition to a few other phases. Superparamagnetic properties, coercivity ( \(Hc\) Hc ), and maximum magnetization (59.73-74.71) emu/g were observed in vibrating sample magnetic (VSM) examinations with no notable change in CTAB. When pure ferric salt is used to prepare NPs, it is altered to hematite with low magnetization and high coercivity (55 emu/g). Notably, electrocatalytic degradation increased significantly to 97.46 ± 0.96% for Fluorescein and 94.98 ± 1.1% for Carmine dyes. The relationship between frequency and AC conductivity is directly proportional in each sample. For Fe3O4 with/without CTAB incorporation, SrFe2O4-δ, and SrFe2O4 NPs, frequency exponent factor ( \(s\) s ) is equivalent to 0.72, 0.80, 0.725, and 0.71, demonstrating that the correlated barrier hopping (CBH) hypothesis describes conduction process.
