Abstract
The present study shows that the sono-chemically synthesis of SnFe2O4/BiFeO3 nanocomposites for the photocatalytic performance. The crystal structure of SnFe2O4/BiFeO3 nanocomposites evaluated using XRD analysis. The micrograph images displays the support of SnFe2O4 on BiFeO3. The optical status were examined using UVVis spectroscopy and the narrower band gap (1.67 eV) was determined for SnFe2O4/BiFeO3 nanocomposites. The photocatalytic amount of SnFe2O4/BiFeO3 nanocomposites was higher than the pristine SnFe2O4 or BiFeO3 nanoparticles. The photocatalytic degradation was mainly performed by OH center dot radical. The malachite green dye was completely degraded (100%) by using the SnFe2O4-BiFeO3 nanocomposites in 60 min under visible light irradiation. The antibacterial activity of SnFe2O4/BiFeO3 nanocomposites was conducted against Escherichia coli and Bacillus subtilis bacteria. The doxorubicin as an anticancer drug was loaded on SnFe2O4/BiFeO3 nanocomposites. The cell viability of the human liver cancer cell was performed by using doxorubicin/SnFe2O4/BiFeO3/folic acid. The potential properties shows that the usage of SnFe(2)0(4)/BiFeO3 nanocomposites in environmental treatment, antibacterial, and drug delivery applications.
