“…Bimetallic nickel ferrite (NiFe 2 O 4 ), a representative transition metal compound, has been extensively investigated in catalytic applications because of its abundant availability, diverse redox states, exceptional photochemical stability, and electronic conductivity. − Furthermore, the ferromagnetic properties of NiFe 2 O 4 as heterogeneous catalysts offer advantages, such as magnetic separation, ease of operation, and reusability. − In particular, due to its favorable optical absorption capacity and appropriate band structure concerning redox potential, NiFe 2 O 4 is emerging as a promising visible-light-responsive photocatalyst. − However, the practical application of NiFe 2 O 4 is hindered by issues like bulk charge carrier recombination and Fermi level pinning . Therefore, exploring various techniques for enhancing carrier separation in NiFe 2 O 4 has become an important endeavor.…”
