Abstract
In recent research, semiconductive magnetic nanomaterials have gained significant attention for their potential in photocatalytic applications, primarily due to their ease of recoverability. This study focuses on the successful synthesis of CoCexFe2-xO4 nanoparticles, where the variable x (ranging from 0 to 0.20) introduces Ce3+ ions. The inclusion of Ce3+ ions induces noteworthy changes in the structural, optical, microstructural, magnetic, and photocatalytic properties of CoFe2O4 nanoparticles. Various analytical techniques, including x-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, ultraviolet–visible spectroscopy, photoluminescence, transmission electron microscopy, vibrating sample magnetometry, and electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy, were employed to investigate these effects comprehensively. The research delves into the photocatalytic degradation of rhodamine B under visible light irradiation, exploring the impact of different elemental compositions, catalyst quantities, irradiation durations, and initial rhodamine B concentrations on the decolorization process.
