Development of novel and green NiFe₂O₄/geopolymer nanocatalyst based on bentonite for synthesis of imidazole heterocycles by ultrasonic irradiations.

ABSTRACT: Geopolymers as aluminosilicate inorganic polymers and eco-friendly building materials which can be used as substrate for different kinds of composite. In this research, according to the fabrication of geopolymer based on bentonite as a substrate and embedment of NiFe₂O₄ nanoparticles in the construction of this polymer, the synthesis of a new magnetic nanocomposite (NiFe₂O₄/geopolymer) was investigated for the first time. In order to describe its chemistry and morphology features, different analyses such as Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, field-emission scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy images, Brunauer-Emmet-Teller adsorption-desorption isotherm, X-ray diffraction pattern, energy-dispersive X-ray analysis
