“…In Figure a (inset), GO showed a sharp diffraction peak at 2θ = 10.60° representing (002) plane (DB card number 9012590), and the interlayer distance of ∼0.8 nm indicates the presence of functional group of GO . In XRD pattern of 5% GO–CuFe 2 O 4 hybrid catalyst, the diffraction peaks at 2θ = 18.39°, 30.18°, 35.49°, 37.02°, 43.08°, 53.40°, 56.86°, 62.51°, and 66.46° represent the crystal planes of (111), (220), (311), (222), (400), (422), (511), (440), and (531) of spinel CuFe 2 O 4 (DB-9012841). − Besides this, weak diffraction peaks at 2θ = 38.93°, 48.94°, and 68.31° for the crystal planes of (111), (202), and (113), respectively, of tenorite phase (DB-1011148) appeared due to the presence of trace amount of CuO. Similar crystal plane and angles of diffraction values were observed in our previous study for CuFe 2 O 4 catalyst .…”
