Abstract

Biogenic CoFeO nanoparticles were prepared by co-precipitation and plant leaf was used as a bio-reductant of the nanoparticle productions. The biosynthesized CoFeO nanoparticles were characterized by XRD, FTIR, UV, VSM, and SEM via EDX analysis. The cubic phase of biosynthesized CoFeO nanoparticles and their crystallite size was determined by XRD. The Co-Fe-O bonding and cation displacement was confirmed by FTIR spectroscopy. The presence of spherically-shaped biosynthesized CoFeO nanoparticles and their material were confirmed by SEM and TEM via EDX. The super-paramagnetic behaviour of the biosynthesized CoFeO nanoparticles and magnetic pulse was established by VSM analysis. Organic and bacterial pollutants were eradicated using the biosynthesized CoFeO nanoparticles. The spinel ferrite biosynthesized CoFeO nanoparticles generate radical and superoxide ions, which degrade toxic organic and bacterial pollutants in the environment.
