Green engineered synthesis of Ag-doped CuFe2O4: Characterization, cyclic voltammetry and photocatalytic studies

Green engineered synthesis of Ag-doped CuFe2O4: Characterization, cyclic voltammetry and photocatalytic studies

Ag-doped CuFe2O4 nanoparticles (ACNPs) with cubic and tetragonal spinel structures were synthesized by the Jatropha-oil assisted combustion method and their properties were well characterized. The ACNPs catalyst was synthesized based on the CuFe2O4 nanoparticles by the incorporation of Ag atoms, whi...
