This study aims to manufacture Ce3+/Ni2+ ions doped Mg nanoferrites by the sol-gel method for the photocatalytic degradation of rhodamine B and crystal violet pollutants under visible natural sunlight. The synthesized nanoferrites showed good photocatalytic activity and antibacterial properties, making them potential candidates for the treatment of organic dyes and bacterial infections.
This study aims at manufacturing Ce3+/Ni2+ ions doped Mg nanoferrites by the sol-gel method for the photocatalytic degradation of rhodamine B and crystal violet pollutants under visible natural sunlight. The particle size of synthesized nanoferrites was calculated through XRD, Hall-William plots, and TEM analysis, which perfectly agree with each other. FTIR study investigated the existence of stretching vibrations in M - O (metal-oxygen) complexes at the tetrahedral (A-site) and octahedral sites (B-site). The Raman spectra of synthesized nanophotocatalysts show the presence of four vibrational modes (Eg + 2T2g + A1g), providing suitable information of occupancy of Mg2+, Ce3+, Ni2+, and Fe3+ ions at the interstitial sites of undoped and Ce3+/Ni2+ doped MgFe2O4 crystal structure. The synthesized MGF3 nanophotocatalyst performs well with degradation of 97.674% crystal violet (CV) and 90.05% rhodamine B (RhB) under natural sunlight in 60 min. The experimental results showed that doped MgFe2O4 nanoferrites have a high tendency to photodegrade the RhB and CV dyes in an aqueous form. The pseudo-first-order equation reflects the best photocatalytic process kinetics and studied the feasibility of RhB and CV dyes adsorption on the doped and undoped MgFe2O4 nanoferrites. The results show good support for adsorption by the spontaneous photodegradation process. The excellent photocatalytic activity of synthesized nanoferrites under natural sunlight verifies them as a potential candidate for the photodegradation of organic dyes. Finally, the antibacterial activity of magnetic nanoferrites was examined against S. aureus and E. Coli. The studies demonstrated that synthesized magnetic nanoferrites were more effective against S. aureus.
