In this paper, novel popcorn balls-like ZnFe2O4-ZrO2 nanocomposite nano spheres were successfully fabricated by a simple hydrothermal method. The morphology and structure-property of the nano spheres were characterized. The effect of synthesis high temperature on the size of the ZnFe2O4-ZrO2 nanocomposite shows that, Significantly, the entire popcorn balls-like morphology of the nanocomposite surface is formed. The samples were characterized with the aid of Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). The results from the current study suggest that the FTIR Spectroscopy and SEM images further confirmed the complete formation of zinc ferrite and zirconium oxide crystalline structure with nano spherical morphology.
