Brownmillerite Calcium Ferrite, a Promising Perovskite-Related Material in the Degradation of a Tight Dye under Ambient Conditions.

ABSTRACT: Evaluation of effective and low-cost materials as catalysts to combat the threat of pollution is a significant and growing trend. With this aim, we have synthesized calcium ferrite brownmillerite by wet preparation approach as a catalyst for pollution. The structural analysis is established by the X-ray diffraction of Ca₂ Fe₂ O₅ , whereas the tetrahedral and octahedral sites band stretching for ferrite specimen has been deduced using FTIR. The bandgap energy has been estimated by the Tauc relation (2.17 eV). Ca₂ Fe₂ O₅ brownmillerite exhibits a BET surface area of 10 m² /g and a BJH pore volume of 0.121 cm³ /g with the average particle size of 70 nm. Importantly, the alizarin Red S dye degradation has b
