Sequential Synthesis Methodology Yielding Well-Defined Porous _75%SrTiO₃/_25%NiFe₂O₄ Nanocomposite.

ABSTRACT: In this research, we reported on the formation of highly porous foam SrTiO₃/NiFe₂O₄ (_100-xSTO/_xNFO) heterostructure by joint solid-state and sol-gel auto-combustion techniques. The colloidal assembly process is discussed based on the weight ratio x (x = 0, 25, 50, 75, and 100 wt %) of NiFe₂O₄ in the _100-xSTO/_xNFO system. We proposed a mechanism describing the highly porous framework formation involving the self-assembly of SrTiO₃ due to the gelation process of the nickel ferrite. We used a series of spectrophotometric techniques, including powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), N₂ adsor
