Abstract
Sol-gel auto combustion method was adopted to fabricate magnesium ferrite (MgFe
) nanoparticles. The structural and morphological properties was studied by XRD, FTIR, and SEM analysis. The average particle sizes of MgFe
was in the range of 35–55 nm. The octahedral & Tetrahedral bond lengths,
(tetrahedral edge length),
(shared octahedral edge length) and
(individual octahedral edge length), cationic radii (tetra and octa-sites) were also determined. The magnetic strength also showed direct reliance on bond angle and indirect to bond length. Hoping length
and
and bond angles are also measured. The frequency dependent conductivity and dielectric properties of MgFe
were investigated by Impedance analyzer. The photocatalytic activity (PCA) is appraised against MB (methylene blue) dye and MgFe
calcined at 800 °C showed promising degradation (78%) under visible light irradiation. The findings revealed that MgFe
is can harvest the solar light, which could be employed for the remediation of wastewater contains textile dyes.
