The influence of ammonia on TiO 2 -MgFe 2 O 4 catalysts synthesized via a hydrolysis and co-precipitation, followed by calcination at 500 o C, was studied. Two different catalysts, TiO 2 -MgFe 2 O 4 (Am) and TiO 2 -MgFe 2 O 4 (W), were prepared using Ti-precursors, which were synthesized by the hydrolysis of Ti-butoxide with and without ammonia. The resulting TiO 2 -MgFe 2 O 4 catalysts were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), specific surface area measurements, X-ray diffraction, and UV-vis diffuse reflectance techniques. It was revealed that strong electronic coupling exists between the TiO 2 and MgFe 2 O 4 components within the TiO 2 -MgFe 2 O 4 catalysts. Photocatalytic activity toward Rhodamine B (RhB) was investigated in aqueous solution under visible light irradiation. TiO 2 -MgFe 2 O 4 (W) was found to be an effective catalyst and had several advantages over TiO 2 -MgFe 2 O 4 (Am). These results clearly highlight that ammonia had a significant influence on the photocatalytic activity of the TiO 2 -MgFe 2 O 4 catalysts. Therefore, the results reported herein indicate that TiO 2 -MgFe 2 O 4 is a green, low-cost, and highly efficient photocatalyst for environmental remediation.
