Abstract

The demand for materials with superior magnetic and dielectric properties is critical for the advancement of high-performance electronic and magnetic devices. In response to this need, Ni_0.5Co_0.5Pr_0.2Fe_1.8O₄ (NiCoPrFeO) nanoparticles were synthesized using the sol–gel auto-combustion technique, known for its simplicity and versatility. To enhance the functional properties of these nanoparticles, multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) were incorporated, recognized for their high electrical conductivity and low density, to create a novel nanocomposite. The structural and physical properties of the prepared NiCoPrFeO/MWCNTs nanocomposites were characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), vibrating sample magnetometry (VSM), and Impedance Analysis. XRD confirmed the successful formation of the nanocomposite NiCoPrFeO/MWCNTs. TEM provided detailed insights into particle size to be around 18.553 and the interactions between the nanoparticles and MWCNTs. FTIR spectra indicated the presence of absorption bands ‘ν₁′ and ‘ν₂′ to be around 545 and 415 cm⁻¹ which is characteristic of the cubic spinel structure. The addition of MWCNTs significantly improved the magnetic properties of the nanocomposite, with higher MWCNT concentrations leading to stronger magnetization, as shown by VSM analysis the values of Mr, Ms and Hc were found between 1.41 to 4.79 emu/g, 16.67 to 24.35 emu/g and 204.29 to 569.77 Oe, respectively. The dielectric properties, including dielectric constant, dielectric loss, loss tangent, and AC conductivity, exhibited notable improvements with increasing MWCNT content across varying frequencies. These results suggest that NiCoPrFeO/MWCNTs nanocomposites could be a promising solution for improving materials used in electronic and magnetic devices, leading to more efficient and advanced technologies.
