“…In any case, it is important to highlight that studies published so far on the photoelectrochemical behavior of ferrite-type spinels have mainly dealt with calcium ferrite, althought here exists al arge variety of spinels in nature, such as those based on Mg, Zn, Ni, and so on. CuFe 2 O 4 has been reported not only as an anode in Li-ion batteries [36][37][38] but also as ap hotocatalyst,p articularly upon forming heterojunctions with TiO 2 , [29] WO 3 , [39] SnO 2 , [40] Bi 4 Ti 3 O 12 , [41] or C 3 N 4 [42] in applications such as degradation of organic compounds and H 2 production. [35] In this context, copperf errite could be ag ood candidate as ap hotoelectrodef or water splitting.…”
