摘要

In this study, MgFe2O4/BiOBr nanocomposites with varying BiOBr content were synthesized via a facile sonochemical-assisted precipitation method. Comprehensive characterization using XRD, FTIR, FESEM, EDX, BET, UV–Vis DRS, PL, and VSM techniques confirmed the formation of well-structured heterojunctions with enhanced light absorption, surface area, and magnetic recoverability. Among the prepared composites, the 30% BiOBr-loaded sample exhibited the highest photocatalytic activity, achieving 98.7% degradation of erythrosine under UV–visible irradiation within 90 min. The catalyst also retained 70.3% efficiency after five consecutive cycles, demonstrating excellent stability and reusability. Scavenger experiments identified superoxide radicals (•O₂⁻) as the dominant reactive species, and a charge transfer mechanism was proposed based on band structure alignment. XRD and FTIR analyses before and after reuse confirmed structural stability. These findings suggest that MgFe2O4/BiOBr nanocomposites are promising candidates for light-activated environmental remediation and fluorescence-based applications where photogenerated species play a crucial role.
