Abstract

Nanosize Li-ferrites were synthesised by the thermal decomposition of an appropriate mixture of complex compounds with acetylacetone - (2,4 pentadione) ligands ([M(AA)x]; M=Li and Fe) at 500 °C. The obtained sample is composed of three phases determined by the standard Rietveld procedure: Li0.5Fe2.5O4 (S.G. P4332), Li1.16Fe3O4 (S.G. Fd 3̄ m) and LiFeO2 (S.G. Fm 3̄ m). Cation distribution in nanosize ordered spinel Li0.5Fe2.5O4 deviates from that of the bulk counterpart. Microstructure parameters (crystallite size of ∼23 nm and strain of 3.2526(9)×103) were determined by the Rietveld refinement of the TCH-pV parameters. SEM microphotographs show a particle size of ∼50–60 nm. An order–disorder phase transition in ordered spinel Li0.5Fe2.5O4was studied by DSC measurements and in situ XRPD technique.The temperature of phase transition was found to be 762 °C (DSC) and (±) 7455°C.(XRPD)
