This study focuses on the preparation of zinc ferrite (ZnFe2O4) nanoparticles for electrochemical analysis and its energy storage applications. The preparation of zinc ferrite nanoparticles is accomplished through a hydrothermal approach without subsequent annealing. The prepared samples undergo comprehensive characterization through X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). Additionally, sample undergoes scanning electron microscopy (SEM) for morphological analysis and cyclic voltammetry (CV) is employed to assess electrochemical performance in 1M Na2SO4. The XRD results unveil the crystalline size and FTIR analysis provides insights into the intrinsic stretching vibration of metal-oxygen bonds, confirming the ferrite phase. Cyclic voltammetry analysis reveals a capacitance of 442 F/g, highlighting zinc ferrite as a potential material for energy storage applications. This work elucidates zinc ferrite properties, offering valuable insights for optimizing its performance in energy storage devices.
