Abstract
Fe3O4–CuO nanocomposite was prepared by hydrothermal method, which is simple and cost effective. The prepared nanocomposite was characterized for XRD that confirms the presence of crystalline peaks corresponding to both Fe3O4 and CuO. The morphology and phase composition were characterized by High resolution scanning electron microscope (HRSEM) and Energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDAX). The Fourier transforms infrared (FTIR) spectra reveals information about metal oxygen bands in the composite. UV-visible spectroscopy was used to study their optical properties. The photocatalytic degradation of organic dye crystal violet using the composite as catalyst under visible light illumination was studied. The antibacterial activity of the sample was also examined.
