Abstrakt: The aim of this research is to identify the crystal structure, surface area, and magnetic properties of The Mn0.25Fe2.75O4-rGO (reduced Graphene Oxide) nanocomposites (NCs). The synthesis of Mn0.25Fe2.75O4-rGO nanocomposites used the co-precipitation method. The rGO was obtained from the chemical reduction of GO by hydrazine hydrate as the reduction agent. The ratio between Mn0.25Fe2.75O4 nanoparticles and rGO was 1:1 that ultrasonicated at 200 Hz for an hour. The IR spectra of NCs from the FTIR instrument showed that the absorption band around 580 cm-1 and 1622 cm-1 corresponds to the stretching mode of Fe-O and C=C respectively. According to X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) pattern analysis, peak of Mn0.25Fe2.75O4 was detected on 2θ at 30.1°, 35.5°, 53.5°, 57.1°, 62.7° and the peak of rGO phases was amorphous that detected on 2θ between 17º and 30º. The XRD pattern analysis and FTIR spectra have proved the completion of NC’s synthesis. The crystallite size was between 10.3 nm by Scherer's formula. The Specific Surface Area showed that the surface area of the nanocomposites was 100.61 m2/g and the Molecular cross-sectional area was 0.162 nm2 by BET Theory. The Magnetic properties show that the NCs were Superparamagnetic material that has a saturation magnetization of 9.34 emu/g. The material has many potentials to be explored by the researcher around the world.
