Surface engineered NiFe₂O₄/SnO₂/CeO₂ ternary heterojunction for dual applications in photocatalytic water treatment and supercapacitors.

ABSTRACT: Surface-engineered ternary NiFe₂O₄/SnO₂/CeO₂ (NFO/SnO₂/CeO₂) heterojunctions were synthesised through a facile hydrothermal route to deliver dual-function material for visible-light photocatalysis and electrochemical energy storage. Comprehensive structural, optical and morphological characterisation confirmed intimate interfacial coupling between the three oxides, a mesoporous architecture (72.99 m² g^-1) and a narrowed band gap of 1.53 eV, all of which promote efficient charge separation and extended visible-light harvesting. Under visible light irradiation, the optimised composite achieved 97.92% degradation of tetracycline within 60 min, five to nineteen-fold higher than the pristine or binary counte
