Description

Nanocrystalline Cr-doped Ni/Cd/Zn of general formula Ni0.7Cd0.1Zn0.2CrxFe2−xO4 (x= 0, 0.1, 0.3, 0.5, 0.7, 1) were synthesized by coprecipitation method. X-ray analysis (XRD) confirmed that the samples had a single-phase cubic spinel structure. The morphology was studied using field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM) to assure that the samples were in the nanoscale range. Spectroscopic analysis was carried out using UV-VIS-NIR spectroscopy for all samples. One can conclude that Ni0.7Cd0.1Zn0.2Cr0.5Fe1.5O4 had the most suitable energy bandgap that could be applied to the visible light region and many industrial applications. Moreover, this sample (Ni0.7Cd0.1Zn0.2Cr0.5Fe1.5O4) played an important role in the improvement of photocatalytic efficiency.
