Abstract

NiFe2O4 and Li2NiFe2O4/NiFe2O4 nanocomposite samples are prepared using citric acid and urea assisted combustion process. The prepared pristine and nanocomposite samples are characterized by using powder X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and field emission scanning electron microscopy techniques. The effect of Li2NiFe2O4 on the Li2NiFe2O4/NiFe2O4 crystallite size and associated strain is calculated using Williamson–Hall plot. The effect of Li2NiFe2O4 on the electrical and dielectric properties of the composite samples are analyzed using AC-impedance spectroscopy. The prepared composite materials exhibit mixed electrical conduction behavior, and the conduction is due to lithium ion migration as well as electron hopping between Fe2+ and Fe3+ ions in the spinel structure. The conductivity gradually increases and attains maximum upon lithium ion inclusion in the composite. The further increment of lithium ion doping decreases the conductivity.
