Abstract

A comparison studies of two unique bimetallic spinel ferrite nanoparticles synthesized by the sol-gel process, namely Co-NiFe2O4 and
Cu-ZnFe2O4 were investigated. Various characterization approaches were utilized to examine the structural, morphological, magnetic and electrical characteristics of the nanoparticles. Both Co-NiFe2O4 and Cu-ZnFe2O4 nanoparticles formed single-phase spinel  structures, according to X-ray diffraction (XRD) research whereas FTIR spectra provided information about the vibrational modes and  chemical bonding within the nanoparticles confirmed the presence of desired metal-oxygen bonds chemical bonding within the  nanoparticles. The UV-Vis spectroscopy revealed the optical absorption properties of the nanoparticles indicating the presence of  energy bandgaps in the visible range. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images suggested the uniform and well-dispersed  nanoparticles with average sizes in the nanoscale range. Vibrating sample magnetometry (VSM) measurements demonstrated that  both Co-NiFe2O4 and Cu-ZnFe2O4 nanoparticles exhibited ferromagnetic behaviour at room temperature. The saturation  magnetization values were found to be higher for Co-NiFe2O4 nanoparticles compared to Cu-ZnFe2O4 nanoparticles, suggesting the  superior magnetic properties of the former. As a result, ferrites demonstrate promise in industrial wastewater treatment, facilitating  efficient heavy metal removal and advanced organic pollutant degradation, contributing to a sustainable and effective solution. The  antibacterial efficacy of synthesized bimetallic ferrite nanoparticles against Salmonell typhi, Escherichia coli, Staphyloccus aureus,  Bacillus cereus proves that the synthesized ferrite nanoparticles possess a good antibacterial activity against the selected pathogens.
