Abstract

Due to their distinctive characteristics, including their optical, catalytic, electrical, and magnetic properties, spinel ferrite nanoparticles attract more interest. Also, the substitution of transition metals like copper in ferrites has the potential to control their physical characteristics and could improve their catalytic and magnetic capabilities. Cu2+ doped Mg-Zn ferrite samples show a change in behaviour from superparamagnetic to soft ferrimagnetic. The photocatalytic studies for the CuxMg0.5Zn0.5-xFe2O4 (x= 0.1 to 0.5, and Δx= 0.1) nano-ferrites are conducted in visible light to investigate the methylene blue photodecomposition capability. The Cu-Mg-Zn nano-ferrites displayed unique behaviour in terms of Magnetic, and photocatalytic activity. These outcomes show that the Cu-Mg-Zn ferrite samples are apply to water remediation.
