Synthesis and Characterization of Photocatalytic MnFe2O4 Nanoparticles

Abstract Nanoparticles of manganese ferrite are successfully synthesized by auto combustion technique. The chemical stoichiometry of the sample is checked by Energy Dispersive X-ray (EDAX). The structure of prepared ferrite is confirmed through X-ray Diffraction (XRD) method and is endorsed by Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) Spectra. The range of crystallite size is obtained 20-40 nm from Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM). Photocatalytic dye degradation of methylene blue is carried out under the Sunlight using MnFe2O4 and different mM solutions of H2O2. The minimum 10 mM concentration of H2O2 is required for the photocatalitic dye degradation of the MnFe2O4 nanoparticles
