CuFe 2 O 4 nanoparticles (CNPs) with cubic and tetragonal spinel structures were synthesized by Jatropha oil-assisted green combustion route (GCR) and urea-assisted chemical combustion route (CCR) and well-characterized. The photocatalytic activity of CNPs prepared via GCR and CCR showed 96 and 83% sunlight degradation of Malachite green (MG) dye, respectively. Electrochemical properties of CNPs were studied by means of Cyclic Voltammetry (CV) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The current research work pledges to provide some novel insights into the design of material for multifunctional long-term applications for environmental clean-up.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
