ZINC IRON OXIDE

Zinc iron oxide is used as pigments, especially in applications related to heat stability. It is also used in high corrosion-resistant coatings.

Potential applications of ZnFe₂O₄ are gas sensors, catalysts and MRI contrast agents.

ChEBI: A mixed metal oxide with formula Fe2O4Zn.

Zinc iron oxide nanoparticles are chemically stable and exhibit superparamagnetic properties. There are a number of methods to prepare ZnO nanoparticles, some of them are self-propagated combustion of fuels (alanine, glycine and proline), co-precipitation, sol-gel reaction, spin coating, ball milling and auto combustion.
