Abstract
Nickel Zinc ferrites are of great interest in the research community due to their special optical, magnetic, electrical and catalytic properties. Ferrites can act as an excellent photocatalyst due to their bandgap. This paper discuss the synthesis, structural and photocatalytic behavior of NixZn1-xFe2O4 (x = 0, 0.5, 1). Sol-gel approach is used for synthesizing nanoparticles. The structural evaluation is carried out by using the X-ray diffraction technique. The impact of Nickel substitution on the structural behavior of NixZn1-xFe2O4 is additionally studied. The lattice parameter monotonically decreases with growing Nickel substitution in Nickel -Zinc ferrite. The photocatalytic property of Nickel-Zinc ferrite is used to study the usage of the degradation of fluorescein dye underneath solar irradiation. Ni.5Zn.5Fe2O4 shows the best photodegradation efficiency among Nickel-Zinc ferrite series.
