Co-precipitation was used to synthesis Au/Fe3O4 nano-composites different Au contents, (XRD) , (SEM) were used to analyze the nano-composites' microstructure and phase (EDX) , (XPS) were used to confirm the compositions of the powders. UV-Vis spectroscopy utilized to examine the particles' band gaps. Malachite green(MG) degradation was examined using the photocatalytic property of the nanocomposites, also the powders with 0.5 mol of Au exhibit the highest photocatalytic degradation efficiency. The reaction conditions for Au(0.5)/Fe3O4 were also evaluated.
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.
