Abstract

In this study, a sol gel method using citric acid as anionic surfactant is used for synthesis of magnesium ferrite. Calcinations of magnesium ferrite at temperature (300°C, 600°C and 800°C) have been conducted after sol gel process. Characterization study of the prepared magnesium ferrite related to calcinations using Fourier transform infrared spectrometry (FTIR), Differential thermogravic analysis (DTA), and Scanning electron microscope (SEM) has been discussed. The study of Cyclic voltammetry (CV) of the prepared magnesium ferrite has been examined to assay the semiconducting behavior of magnesium ferrite in relation to its electrochemical behavior. © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.
