Abstract

The Zinc Ferrite (ZnFe O ) spinel nanoparticles have been successfully prepared by green sol–gel synthesis mode employing Actinidia
deliciosa fruit extract as reducing agent. The target application of the prepared material is anode part in Li ion batteries. The prepared
ZnFe O nanoparticles are subjected to different analyses and the results are promising for this material to serve as anode in Li ion
batteries. The structural analysis by means of X-ray diffraction technique reveals pure cubic structure of this material with a crystallite
size of 28nm. The morphological pattern recorded by means of electron microscopes reveal cube shaped grains with mixed dimensions,
within 50nm. The Raman analysis clarifies the high crystalline nature of the prepared sample with sharp peaks. Existence of carbon
residues as a result of green reducing agents inside the ZnFe O matrix are ensured by C C peaks in FTIR spectra. The same has been
verified by means of EDX analysis as well. The electrochemical activities and electrical conductivity values of the material seems to be
positive towards the anodic application of ZnFe O in Li ion batteries.
