Synthesize and Electrocatalytic Investigation of CuFe2O4 Nanostructures

CuFe2O4 nanostructures are synthesized by a sol-gel auto-combustion method. Characterization and study of the nanostructures are performed using various techniques such as X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive X-Ray spectroscopy. Also, the electrocatalytic sensing behavior of CuFe2O4 are investigated using cyclic voltammetry technique in the presence of a redox couple probe. Using the method, the CuFe2O4 nanoparticles show an excellent electrocatalytic activity by acceleration electron transfer between the electrode and probe solution. Therefore, the electrochemical experiments suggest that the nanostructures will become a potential candidate in the field of electrochemical sensor
