Grafting of CuFe12O19 nanoparticles on CNT and graphene: Eco-friendly synthesis, characterization and photocatalytic activity

In this work, Cufe12O19 nanoparticles were successfully synthesized using amino acids as non-toxic reagents. To achieve the desired sample with high homogeneity and the fine size, various parameters such as calcination temperature, molar ratios of Cu+2 to Fe+3 and Cu+2 to amino acid were changed. The products were characterized by SEM, TEM, EDS, XRD and FT-IR and the optical and magnetic properties were studied by DRS and VSM analyses....
