Efficient and recyclable Nd³⁺-doped CoFe₂O₄ for boosted visible light-driven photocatalytic degradation of Rhodamine B dye

Abstract

Doping of neodymium ions into CoFe2O4 nanoparticles significantly boosted the photocatalytic activity of CoNdxFe2−xO4 for the degradation of Rhodamine B dye. Up to 94.7% of dye was degraded under CoNd0.05Fe1.95O4/H2O2/visible-light system.

Structural and Temperature Dependent-Magnetic and Dielectric Properties of CoNd x Fe2−x O4 (0 ≤ x ≤ 0.1) Nanoparticles

“…The smaller grain size observed in CoNd x Fe 2−x O 4 nanoparticle make them potential candidates for photocatalysis of degrading organic dyes in water as well as other ferrite-based applications. [32][33][34][35] Energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) was employed to ensure the elemental compositions of the each sample, and the corresponding spectra for each sample are included in Fig. 3.…”

Facile fabrication of embedded g-C3N4/MoS2 nano-adsorbent for the removal of persistent rhodamine B contaminant in aqueous solution

“…1,2 Among these different pollutants, organic dyes are one of the biggest contaminants in textile industries owing to their carcinogenic, eco-toxic, and bioaccumulative nature. 3 The ecosystem is at extreme risk from these poisonous and non-biodegradable dyes. Now, among various dyes used in textile industries, rhodamine B (RhB) has been categorized as a basic cationic carcinogenic dye, which can cause several health issues, irritation of the eyes and skin, and respiratory problems.…”
