The series of MnxFe3-xO4@C/ZnO nanocomposite samples have been successfully synthesized using co-precipitations and a low-temperature hydrothermal method. The value of x used were 0, 0.5, 0.75, and 1. The series of samples were characterized using XRD instrument to get information about crystal structure. The result of characterization using XRD showed that the highest peak of the Fe3O4 phase was detected on 2θ around 35.29°-35.54° of the (311) plane. This peak has a shift due to the doping of the Mn atom. In addition, the highest peak of the ZnO phase was detected on 2θ around 36.38° of the (101) plane. In addition, the characterization of the samples was carried out using the FTIR instrument. Based on IR spectra from FTIR instrument shown that Fe-O vibration was detected on 432.04 – 455.20 cm-1 and Zn-O vibration was detected on 484.13 – 470.63 cm-1, also Zn-C vibration was detected in 1035.77 – 837.10 cm-1. This result indicated that the sample was successfully formed. © 2025 American Institute of Physics Inc.. All rights reserved.
