Abstract
The magnetic graphene oxide (GO) nanocomposites possess unique physicochemical properties, high surface area, high chemical stability, and the ease with which they can be modified and functionalized. In the present work, a nanocomposite of copper ferrite and GO was synthesized through a facile hydrothermal method and their photocatalytic efficiency with dye removal was studied. X-ray diffraction (XRD) was used to characterize the synthesized nanocomposite. The UV–Vis spectrophotometer was used to compare the photocatalytic efficiency for degradation of malachite green dye by using GO/CuFe2O4 nanocomposite, GO and copper ferrite. GO/CuFe2O4 nanocomposite could be recycled and possessed of magnetic and photocatalytic properties hence it can be developed as an inexpensive and alternative photocatalyst for dye removal from wastewater.
