Preparation and Characterizations of MgFe2O4 Spinel Semiconductor

The attention in the synthesis of magnetic nanocomposites has been developed enormously in recent years owing to the unique properties of these materials, such as crystallinity, crystallite size, specific surface area, particle size, morphology and catalytic activity [1]. They have great potential for applications in various fields such as engineering, physics, chemistry, biology and medicine. Nanosized spinel ferrite composites exhibit significant photocatalytic properties to be applied in the solar energy conversion and water purification [2]. As application, these oxides were successfully tested for the degradation of dyes [3], H production and metal reduction [4] under solar light.
