“…From the above studies it was concluded that upon increasing calcination temperature, pure form of the BFO-T nanoparticles was obtained [18,19], i.e. pure perovskite form of BFO-T nanoparticles was obtained [1]. This result was also in concord as discussed earlier in FT-IR analysis.…”

“…Multiferroic materials are a class of materials that got immense interest owing to the coexistence of electrical and magnetic properties. In addition, multiferroic materials have potential applications in field of spin valves, information storage devices, microelectronic devices spintronic devices, and sensors [1]. Among various multiferroic materials, magneto electric multiferroic are one of the most commonly studied materials in which magnetization can be affected by electric field and vice-versa.…”

BFO-T (BiFeO 3 ) nanoparticles have been prepared via auto-combustion technique using tartaric acid as a chelating agent. Role of chelating agent and effect of different calcination temperatures on the structural, morphological, optical, thermal and magnetic behaviour were demonstrated. The properties related to phase structure, surface morphology, thermal stability were investigated by XRD, TEM and TGA respectively. Fourier Transformed Infrared spectra of BFO-T nanoparticles calcinated at different temperatures showed various types of bond formations in the samples. The average particle size of BFO-T nanoparticles were found to be in the range 6-30 nm at different calcinated temperature. The optical band gaps of pure BFO-T nanoparticles were estimated using the Tauc's equation which was found to be 2.20 eV. Magnetic measurement of pure BFO-T nanoparticles indicated ferromagnetic behavior with saturation magnetization of 0.36 emu/g.

“…6. BiFeO 3 is an antiferromagnetic system but it shows ferromagnetic properties at room temperature [31]. The result confirmed that the BiFeO 3 nanoparticles exhibited ferromagnetic ordering, as evidenced by the magnified view of the M − H curves at lower applied field [29] which showed that hysteresis appeared with a residual magnetic moment of 8.83× 10 −2 emu/g and coercive field of 79.95 Oe when applied with a magnetic field of 20 kOe.…”

Bismuth ferrite (BiFeO 3) is considered as one of the most promising materials in the field of multiferroics with great potentials in photocatalysis due to their excellent properties of relatively small band gap, stable structures, and low cost. In this work, a facile green route was successfully used for the fabrication of high-purity yttriumdoped and undoped bismuth ferrite (BiFeO 3) nanoparticles. κ-carrageenan seaweed was used as a biotemplate for the construction of the material. The obtained products were characterized and the photocatalytic effect of doped and undoped BiFeO 3 were evaluated on the degradation of methylene blue (MB) under direct sunlight. The formed particles are in the range of 80-90 nm that exhibited morphology of rhombohedral perovskite structure as confirmed by FESEM and HRTEM analysis. Decreasing of band gap energy from 2.07 eV to 2.05 eV as the concentration of yttrium dopant increased significantly affected their photocatalytic behaviour. There was a remarkable improvement in the photocatalytic activity of 1% of yttrium-doped BiFeO 3 towards the decomposition of methylene blue (MB) under direct sunlight irradiation. This was attributed to the strong absorption of visible light and the effective separation of photoinduced e− and h + pair, as compared to the pristine BiFeO 3. In addition, the influence of operational parameters on the removal efficiency of MB, such as catalyst dosage and initial dye concentrations, was optimized as a function of time. The kinetics of the photocatalytic MB removal was later found to follow Langmuir Hinshelwood model.

“…The increase in degradation with increasing dose of catalyst was due to the increase in catalytic active sites which were present on the surface of the catalyst. These catalytic active sites were further responsible for an increase in the production of hydroxyl and superoxide radicals which were necessary for the photocatalytic reaction . But when we further increased the catalyst amount, i.e.…”

The effect of varied zirconium content on the structural, morphological, magnetic, optical, thermal and catalytic properties of nanoparticles of the ferrite Cu1 − xZrxFe2O4 (x = 0, 0.5, 1) was investigated. The mixed ferrite was synthesized by the auto‐combustion method using nitrates of respective metals and citric acid as a chelating agent. The as‐prepared nanoparticles showed dual benefits. They were employed as a heterogeneous catalyst for one‐pot synthesis of polysubstituted pyridine derivatives as well as for catalytic degradation of industrial waste dyes such as methylene blue (MB). The highlight of the research reported is the catalytic degradation of industrial waste (MB) with high efficiency in eluent of a wide range of pH (3–13). The proposed nanoparticles arguably offer certain great advantages that include: low cost, facile nature, anti‐leaching property, magnetic recoverability and recyclability. The characterization of the as‐synthesized nanoparticles was done using various techniques. The leaching study was carried out using inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy. The formation of organic products was confirmed using Fourier transform infrared and 1H NMR spectroscopies and examination of degradation products of MB dye was carried out using mass spectrometry and UV–visible spectroscopy.
