? 2022 Elsevier B.V.The x-type hexaferrites have been getting considerable attention owing to their promising application in electronic fields. Though, the growth of nanosized crystal X-type hexagonal ferrites is still a big challenge. Herein, the synthesis of nanosized X-type hexagonal ferrites Ca2Co2?xZnxFe28O46 (X = 0.0, 0.4, 0.8, 1.2, 1.6, and 2.0) with high quality is reported using the auto-combustion sol-gel method. The objective of the study was to improve the structural and dielectric properties of X-type hexagonal ferrite which was achieved through variation of concentration of cobalt and zinc. Structural, morphological, and dielectric properties were investigated. X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns confirmed the single-phase x-type hexagonal structure. The crystal size of all samples was in the range of 22.7–23.8 nm. Other parameters such as D-spacing, lattice parameters, unit cell volume, dislocation density, atomic packing fraction, degree of crystal lattice distortion, number of the unit cells, and volume of particles were also calculated. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) confirmed the formation of metal oxide bonds with two absorption bands at 574 cm?1 and 424 cm?1. The morphology of the prepared Ca2Co2?xZnxFe28O46 with the variation of Co and Zn was examined by scanning electron microscopy. Increasing crystallinity and agglomeration were observed with the upsurge in Zn and Co. The dielectric properties of Ca2Co2?xZnxFe28O46 with the variation of Zn and Co revealed that these materials might be considered good candidates for modern devices.
