Synthesis of a Ni0.8Zn0.2Fe2O4–RGO nanocomposite: an excellent magnetically separable catalyst for dye degradation and microwave absorber

摘要

A Ni _(0.8) Zn _(0.2) Fe _(2) O _(4) reduced graphene oxide nanocomposite has been synthesized by a simple ‘ in situ co-precipitation’ technique. This composite exhibited an ability to act as an excellent magnetically separable catalyst towards the degradation of various dyes as well as a toxic herbicide (trifluralin). It also demonstrated very good microwave absorption properties.
