Solventless synthesis of nanospinel Ni_1-x Co _x Fe₂O₄ (0 ≤ x ≤ 1) solid solutions for efficient electrochemical water splitting and supercapacitance.

ABSTRACT: The formation of solid solutions represents a robust strategy for modulating the electronic properties and improving the electrochemical performance of spinel ferrites. However, solid solutions have been predominantly prepared via wet chemical routes, which involve the use of harmful and/or expensive chemicals. In the present study, a facile, inexpensive and environmentally benign solventless route is employed for the composition-controlled synthesis of nanoscopic Ni_1-x Co _x Fe₂O₄ (0 ≤ x ≤ 1) solid solutions. The physicochemical characterization of the samples was performed by p-XRD, SEM, EDX, XPS, TEM, HRTEM and UV-Vis techniques. A systematic investigation was also carried out to elucidate the electrochemical perform
