摘要

The current work reports the synthesis of cobalt ferrite (CoFe2O4) and clay doped CoFe2O4 (CFO) nanocomposite using solution combustion and reflux method. The clay/CFO was confirmed by using XRD, FTIR, HRTEM, EDAX and UV–Visible spectroscopy. In photocatalysis study, malachite green (MG) dye was successfully degraded effectively using clay (81.3%), CFO (62.3%) and clay/CFO (98.2%) at 120 min with following first-order kinetics. The antioxidant property of nanocomposite was enhanced significantly against 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical with IC50 value 2714.01 mg/mL. Electrochemically, lower reversibility combined with higher diffusion coefficient and impedance values resulted in enhanced electrochemical properties. The supercapacitance values of CFO (307.69 F/g) and clay/CFO (555.55 F/g) were estimated at 2 A/g using galvanostatic charge–discharge (GCD) analysis. The produced electrodes were utilized to detect Cr+6 and Hg+2 sensors using cyclic voltammetry (CV) and differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) techniques. Cr+6 and Hg+2 ion concentrations ranged from 0 to 150 mM, with low detection limits of 21.76 mM for Cr+6 and 25.76 mM for Hg+2. These produced electrodes demonstrated remarkable electrochemical detection of Cr+6 and Hg+2 ions.
