Inorganic Materials Aims and scope

Abstract

This paper presents a comparative evaluation of phase formation in the NiO-CuO-Fe2O3-Cr2O3 system during salt decomposition reactions. A spinel phase has been shown to form in all of the materials studied. The structure of the compounds obtained has been investigated by X-ray diffraction and low-temperature nitrogen adsorption measurements. The results demonstrate that synthesis in the presence of an organic precursor allows fine-particle spinel materials to be obtained.
