Reviewer 1 Report
Experimental part: requires detailed descriptions as to the synthesis methods used and the reagents used.
Please provide details on the synthesis carried out by these two methods. Was the goal to receive new materials or to restore those ferrites referred to by the authors in 2.1. materials and synthesis, cited articles [13-15].
What was new about ??
2.2 Chemical, morphological....
EDX and XPS methods were used to characterize the obtained materials. However, these are not methods that can be used to perform elementary chemical analysis (determining the chemical composition of the resulting particles). For this purpose should be done eg. ICP-OES.
Row 107: no reference to the latest publications on ferrites for example:

What was the composition of Mn(a)Zn(1-a)Fe2O4, whose XRD results are presented in Fig. 4. Please, compare the results of the experiment with the standard MnZn ferrite spectrum on one graph.
Please clarify the description of VSM measurements.
English language and style are fine/minor spell check required.
