The crystalline structure and magnetic properties of Mn<sub>1-x</sub>Co<sub>x</sub>Fe<sub>2</sub>O<sub>4</sub> (x = 0 &amp; 0.25) was studied in this report. The ferrite materials were synthesized by the chemical co-precipitation method and calcinated at 1000<sup>o</sup>C for 5 hours. The obtained materials were characterized by FTIR, XRD and VSM, and for photocatalytic activity was measured by UV-Vis spectrometer. Vibration bands at tetrahedral and octahedral site were corresponded by <strong> </strong>= 581.56 cm<sup>-1</sup> and  = 465.83 cm<sup>-1</sup> and 474.51 cm<sup>-1</sup> . The obtained ferrite were confirmed by XRD as spinel structure and shown that the addition of number of Mn decreased crystallite size <em>(D)</em> and x-ray density (<em>ρ<sub>x</sub></em>), but lattice constants <em>(a)</em> increased. The crystallite size of samples with x = 0.50 was 34.85 nm, and x = 0.75 was 32.17 nm. The magnetic properties of nanoparticles shown that magnetization saturation <em>(</em><em>Ms)</em>from 42.05 emu/g to 54.16 emu/g increased with the addition of number of Mn. The coercive field (<em>H</em><sub>c</sub>)decreased from 408.27 Oe to 258.37 Oe. Photocatalytic activity was observed by UV-Vis spectrometer, where percentage of MB degradation <em>(E)</em> increase with the addition of number on Mn from 49.08% to 69.06%, either rate constant <em>(k<sub>app</sub>)</em> and half life time<em> (t<sub>1/2</sub>)</em>.  Furthermore, ferrite material base Mn-Co-ferrite has good characteristic to applied for photocatalyst.

This paper presents the synthesis of Fe–Co–Ni nanocomposites by chemical precipitation, followed by a reduction process. It was found that the influence of the chemical composition and reduction temperature greatly alters the phase formation, its structures, particle size distribution, and magnetic properties of Fe–Co–Ni nanocomposites. The initial hydroxides of Fe–Co–Ni combinations were prepared by the co-precipitation method from nitrate precursors and precipitated using alkali. The reduction process was carried out by hydrogen in the temperature range of 300–500 °C under isothermal conditions. The nanocomposites had metallic and intermetallic phases with different lattice parameter values due to the increase in Fe content. In this paper, we showed that the values of the magnetic parameters of nanocomposites can be controlled in the ranges of MS = 7.6–192.5 Am2/kg, Mr = 0.4–39.7 Am2/kg, Mr/Ms = 0.02–0.32, and HcM = 4.72–60.68 kA/m by regulating the composition and reduction temperature of the Fe–Co–Ni composites. Due to the reduction process, drastic variations in the magnetic features result from the intermetallic and metallic face formation. The variation in magnetic characteristics is guided by the reduction degree, particle size growth, and crystallinity enhancement. Moreover, the reduction of the surface spins fraction of the nanocomposites under their growth induced an increase in the saturation magnetization. This is the first report where the influence of Fe content on the Fe–Co–Ni ternary system phase content and magnetic properties was evaluated. The Fe–Co–Ni ternary nanocomposites obtained by co-precipitation, followed by the hydrogen reduction led to the formation of better magnetic materials for various magnetically coupled device applications.

In this study, the photocatalytic activity of pure Fe- doped ZnO and Fe- doped ZnO/Montmorillonite nanocomposite has been investigated for the degradation of malachite green under UV light irradiation. Both photocatalysts were synthesized using co-precipitation method and characterized by X-ray diffraction, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, Fourier-transform infrared absorption, and electron spin resonance. The results showed that the photocatalytic efficiency is better in the presence of montmorillonite compared to pure Fe- doped ZnO. To detect the possible reactive species involved in degradation of organic dyes control experiments with introducing scavengers into the solution of organic dyes were carried out. It is found that electron plays an important role in the degradation of malachite green.

Abstract The controlled synthesis of Cd0.9Zn0.1S, Cd0.89Zn0.1Cu0.01S and Cd0.87Zn0.1Cu0.03S nanostructures by simple chemical co-precipitation technique was reported. The XRD investigation confirmed the basic CdS cubic structure on Zn-doped CdS and also Zn, Cu dual doped CdS with no secondary/impurity related phases. No modification in cubic structure was detected during the addition of Zn/Cu into CdS. The reduction of crystallite size from 63 Å to 40 Å and the changes in lattice parameter confirmed the incorporation of Cu into Cd0.9Zn0.1S and generation of Cu related defects. The shift of absorption edge along upper wavelength region and elevated absorption intensity by Cu doping can be accredited to the collective consequence of quantization and the generation of defect associated states. The enhanced optical absorbance and the reduced energy gap recommended that Cd0.87Zn0.1Cu0.03S nanostructure is useful to enhance the efficiency of opto-electronic devices. The presence of Cd-S / Zn-Cd-S /Zn/Cu-Cd-S chemical bonding were confirmed by Fourier transform infrared investigation. The elevated green emissions by Cu incorporation was explained by decrease of crystallite size and creation of more defects. Zn, Cu dual doped CdS nanostructures are recognized as the possible and also efficient photo-catalyst for the removal dyes like methylene blue. The enhanced photo-catalytic behaviour of Zn, Cu dual doped CdS is the collective consequences of high density electron-hole pairs creation, enhanced absorbance in the visible wavelength, surface area enhancement, reduced energy gap and the formation of novel defect associated states. The stability measurement signified that Cu doped Cd0.9Zn0.1S exhibits superior dye removal ability and better stability even after 6 repetitive runs with limited photo-corrosion.

The ZnO-ZrO2 nanocompsite materials in the molar ratio (1:0; 1:1; 1:2; 2:1; 3:4; 4:3; 0:1) were prepared by a two-stage precipitation method with ultrasonic vibrations. The obtained ZnO-ZrO2 materials were characterized by XRD, SEM, UV-vis. XRD data identified phase of the ZnO and phase of ZrO2 in all obtained samples. The average crystallite size of the samples was between 18 to 30 nm. As UV-Vis spectra, the band gap of ZnO-ZrO2 composite (ZZ34R) is 3,06eV. The photocatalytic reactions confirmed that the nanocomposite sample showed higher photocatalytic activity than the pure oxides samples for the degradation phenol under 100W incandescent lamp. Among the prepared samples, the best sample for photocatalytic degration of phenol is the ZZ34R which the molar ratio ZnO:ZrO2 = 3:4 with 23% remaining phenol content after 300 minutes. The photodegradation phenol of sample with ultrasonic vibrations is higher than the sample without ultrasonic vibrations. This indicates that the materials are capable of treating phenol in wastewater.
