Abstract

(10 mol%)Ni-doped Fe₂O₃ (Ni_0.2Fe_1.8O₃)/polyaniline (PANI) magnetic nanocomposite was synthesized by facile oxidative polymerization method. Structure and magnetic property of Ni_0.2Fe_1.8O₃/PANI was characterized by scanning and transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron (XPS), Raman, UV–Visible spectroscopy and vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM). The obtained results revealed that PANI was grown on the surface of ferromagnetic Ni_0.2Fe_1.8O₃ nanocrystals. Owing to visible light absorption behavior and synergetic effect, Ni_0.2Fe_1.8O₃/PANI exhibits excellent photocatalytic activity towards photodegradation of methylene blue (MB).
