Tuning the photocatalytic performance through magnetization in Co-Zn ferrite nanoparticles

Abstrakt

In this work, the link between the photocatalytic performance of Co-Zn ferrite nanoparticles and the net magnetic moment is analyzed. CoxZn1-xFe2O4 nanoparticles (0 ≤ x ≤ 1) were synthesized by co-precipitation method and different physicochemical techniques were employed to characterize the samples (X-ray diffraction, Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), BET surface area, Diffuse Reflectance Spectroscopy (DRS), Photoluminescence spectroscopy, Z-potential, SQUID magnetometry). Enhanced photocatalytic degradation (maximum degradation ratios of two emerging pollutants, phenol and toluene) are found in those nanoparticles (0.4 ≤ x ≤ 0.6) with optimum magnetic response (i.e. superparamagnetism at room temperature and high saturation magnetization). The magnetization of the nanoparticles turns out to be the determining factor in the optimization of the photocatalytic response, since there is no clear relationship with other physicochemical parameters (i.e. specific surface area, isoelectric point, band gap energy or photoluminescence). These results support the current field of research related to photocatalytic performance enhancement through magnetic field effects.
