A magnetically recyclable photocatalyst with commendable dye degradation activity at ambient conditions.

ABSTRACT: An efficient, economical, environment-friendly and easy separable catalyst to treat environmental contaminants is an enduring attention in recent years due to their great potential for environmental protection and remediation. Here we have reported the excellent performance of polyaniline activated heterojunctured Ni_0.5Zn_0.5Fe₂O₄ catalyst to degrade azo dye in an aqueous solution at ambient condition. The catalyst was prepared via a simple facile polymerization procedure. The physicochemical properties and structure of the synthesized catalyst was confirmed by TGA, PXRD, FTIR, SEM, HRTEM, XPS, EDX, and DRS techniques. The developed catalyst has shown an accelerated degradation ability of an organic pollutant Orange ll Sodium salt azo dye about 10
