Abstract
The present study revealed the NiFe2O4/rGO composite synthesized from Ni-Cd/Ni-MH spent by hydrothermal method. The obtained NiFe2O4 nano particles was dispersed effectively on reduced graphene oxide and the obtained composite was subjected to X-Ray powder diffraction (XRD) to know the particle crystallinity, size and structural aspects. The nano sized NiFe2O4 and NiFe2O4/rGO nano composite were exposed to study the surface particle morphology by using Field emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FESEM). The elements present in the sample was analyzed by using Energy Dispersive X-Ray analysis (EDX), the functional groups identification was done by Fourier Transform Infrared Spectrometer (FTIR) and the thermal stability was studies by using Thermogravimetry analysis.
