ZnFe2O4 and ZnO-Zn1−xMxFe2O4+δ (M = Sm3+, Eu3+ and Ho3+): Synthesis, physical properties and high performance visible light induced photocatalytic degradation of malachite green

Structural, optical and electrical properties of Mn-doped ZnFe2O4 synthesized using sol–gel method

“…Furthermore, the processing parameters have a significant impact on the development and qualities of materials [15]. There are several methods reported in the literature for the synthesis of ZnFe2O4 nanomaterials such as solid state [21], pyrolysis [6], coprecipitation [22], microemulsion [23], sol-gel self-propagating combustion [24], hydrothermal [25], mechanical activation [26], rapid quenching [27], solvothermal [21], combustion [28] and precipitation method [29]. Every studied method has its own set of advantages and disadvantages.…”
