摘要

The remarkable qualities of mixed metal oxides, such as their ferroelectric qualities, electro-optic behavior, and catalytic activity, as well as their many uses in oxidation, dehydration, photocatalysis, and electrochemical reactions, have attracted a lot of research interest. Cerium-doped zinc ferrichromites, denoted by the formula ZnFeCr1-xCexO4 (x = 0.0, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, and 1.0), were created in this work by employing the sol–gel method. Using a variety of analytical methods, such as X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Raman spectroscopy, Mössbauer spectroscopy, Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) surface area analysis, and zeta potential determination, the synthesized mixed metal oxides were thoroughly characterized. The produced compounds' antimicrobial activity was also assessed, demonstrating its potential for use in biomedical applications. These mixed metal oxides' adaptability and importance in modern material sciences are highlighted by their observed structural and functional characteristics.
