The ZrO2 nanomaterial was prepared by the co-precipitation method by maintaining the pH of the reaction solution at 7, 8 and 9. The crystalline quality of the prepared material was confirmed from the powder XRD pattern and the Scherrer formula was used to calculate the particle size. The FE-SEM picture shows the morphology of the ZrO2 nanoparticles. The vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) results give details of the magnetic nature of the synthesized materials. The samples were characterized by TGA/DTA and electrochemical performances of the samples were investigated employing cyclic voltammetry (CV) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS).
