Abstract

This work reports the study of the effect of annealing temperature over structure and magnetic, optic and photocatalytic properties of nickel ferrite (NiFe2O4) synthetized by high-energy ball milling. X ray diffraction technique (XRD) and Rietveld refinement confirm the formation of NiFe2O4 finding Fe2O3 as secondary phase at annealing temperature below 1273 K. Vibrating sample magnetometry (VSM) reveal an increase in magnetization values as annealing temperature increase, attributed to changes in cation distribution of Fe3+ and Ni2+ magnetic ions into crystal structure. Bandgap values calculated form diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS) show that all samples absorb light in visible range. Photocatalytic tests show degradation efficiencies around 60 % for all samples being NiFe2O4 a good alternative for its use as photocatalysts under visible light and its magnetic recovery.
