Synthesis of NiFe2O4 nanoparticles carried out using a direct co-precipitation method in aqueous solution containing carbon nanotubes. The samples were characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), UV-visible Spectrophotometer, and vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM). The results showed that using the CNT as a supporter reduced the size and band gap energy of NiFe2O4 nanoparticles, changed the morphology of the powder from an aggregate state to a filament state and it increased the magnetic saturation properties of nanoparticles.
