Abstract

The crystalline structure and magnetic properties of Mn1-xCoxFe2O4 (x = 0 & 0.25) was studied in this report. The ferrite materials were synthesized by the chemical co-precipitation method and calcinated at 1000oC for 5 hours. The obtained materials were characterized by FTIR, XRD and VSM, and for photocatalytic activity was measured by UV-Vis spectrometer. Vibration bands at tetrahedral and octahedral site were corresponded by  = 581.56 cm-1 and  = 465.83 cm-1 and 474.51 cm-1 . The obtained ferrite were confirmed by XRD as spinel structure and shown that the addition of number of Mn decreased crystallite size (D) and x-ray density (ρx), but lattice constants (a) increased. The crystallite size of samples with x = 0.50 was 34.85 nm, and x = 0.75 was 32.17 nm. The magnetic properties of nanoparticles shown that magnetization saturation (Ms)from 42.05 emu/g to 54.16 emu/g increased with the addition of number of Mn. The coercive field (Hc)decreased from 408.27 Oe to 258.37 Oe. Photocatalytic activity was observed by UV-Vis spectrometer, where percentage of MB degradation (E) increase with the addition of number on Mn from 49.08% to 69.06%, either rate constant (kapp) and half life time (t1/2).  Furthermore, ferrite material base Mn-Co-ferrite has good characteristic to applied for photocatalyst.

Abstract

Bismuth substituted cobalt ferrite nanoparticle is studied for photocatalytic in this paper.  Bismuth cobalt ferrite has been synthesized by the coprecipitation method and low-temperature annealing treatment. The characterization results showed that the XRD spectral pattern is consistent with ICDD 221086. The crystallite size of bismuth cobalt ferrite increases with increasing annealing temperature. FTIR results confirm the available metal-oxide at number wave around 570/cm and 475/cm which is the appearance of octahedral and tetrahedral sites owing cobalt ferrite. The photocatalyst test was carried out by varying the catalyst mass and UV irradiation time. The absorption spectrum decreases with increasing catalyst mass. The increase in UV irradiation time causes the formation of more holes (h+) and electrons (e-). So that the hydroxide reaction occurs that produces free radicals. The results of this study indicate that cobalt ferrite-based nanoparticles have potential as photocatalyst materials.
