The aim of said study was to obtain nanostructured ZnCo2O4 through self combustion synthesis using cobalt nitrate, iron nitrate as precursors and glycine as a fuel, without the subsequent heat treatments after synthesis. The temperature variation with respect to a sample with constant molar ratio was investigated. The crystallinity ( phases present and crystallite size: estimated by single-line method ) of the product obtained was determined by X-ray diffraction (XRD) measurement, thermogravimetric analysis(TG-DTA),scanning electron microscope(SEM),and high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM). The synthesis method facilitated the production of spinel ZnCo2O4 with crystallite size between 7-37 nm. Electrical properties of the synthesized nanoparticles are studied by AC conductivity measurement. Electrical conductivity of the nanomaterial ZnCo2O4 was increased with the temperature.
