Graphical abstract: - Highlights: • Sintered NiFe{sub 2}O{sub 4} was prepared by a soft mechanochemical route from mixture powders. • XRD and Raman measurements indicate that the prepared samples have spinel structure. • The activation energy ΔE are 0.653 and 0.452 eV for NiFe{sub 2}O{sub 4} samples. • Ferrite from Ni(OH){sub 2}/Fe{sub 2}O{sub 3} has lower DC conductivity than from Ni(OH){sub 2}/Fe(OH){sub 3} powders. • The values of dielectric constant of samples NiFe{sub 2}O{sub 4} are 70 and 200, respectively. - Abstract: Nickel ferrite, NiFe{sub 2}O{sub 4} was prepared by a soft mechanochemical route from a mixture of (1) Ni(OH){sub 2} and α-Fe{sub 2}O{sub 3} and (2) Ni(OH){sub 2} and Fe(OH){sub 3} powders in a planetary ball mill for 25 h. The powder samples were sintered at 1100 °C for 2 h and were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Impedance spectroscopy techniques were used to study the effect of grain and grain boundary on the electrical properties of the prepared samples. A difference in dielectric constant (ε) and dielectric loss tangent (tan δ) of NiFe{sub 2}O{sub 4} samples obtained by the same methods but starting from different initial components was observed.
