Synthesis of Zno-Nife2o4 Magnetic Nanocomposites by Simple Solvothermal Method for Photocatalytic Dye Degradation Under Solar Light

Abstract: ZnO-NiFe 2 O 4 magnetic nanocomposite photocatalysts were successfully synthesized by simple solvothermal method using nitric salts as starting materials and ethanol as solvent. The synthesized samples were characterized by XRD, FESEM-EDX, TEM, DRS-UV-vis, VSM, and FTIR instruments. Photocatalytic activity of the samples was evaluated by dye degradation under solar light irradiation. The results show that the diffraction peaks of nanocomposites correspond to the hexagonal wurzite of ZnO and spinal cubic struct… Show more

“…Each treatment step in the production of the extract catalyzed spinel ferrites reduced the bandgap energy (Table-1) perhaps due to the crystallite size decreasing at each treatment step leading to a quantum confinement effect. 20 The bandgap energy for NiENK and NiEN sample was close to that of samples obtained in previous studies (1.64 eV) 26,27 and (~2.1 eV). 28 The chemical state of the elements in the NiENK spinel ferrite was investigated using an XPS instrument.…”

“…This peak is due to the absorption characteristic of d-shell electrons of Fe and Ni elements (Marzauk et al, 2016). The results show that NiFe 2 O 4 NPs absorbed light in the visible region due to the small energy bandgap (Rahmayeni et al, 2016).…”

“…Magnetic properties of NiFe2O4 nanoparticles. nanoparticles synthesized was greater than by the coprecipitation method, namely 1.64 eV [28] and 1.87 eV [29]. The band gap energy of ferrite compounds is 2.0 eV, which is effective for absorbing visible light [30].…”
