Comparative studies on adsorptive and photocatalytic potential of differently synthesized ferric oxide nanoparticles for malachite green.

In the present work, effect of different fuels on the structural, morphological, magnetic, adsorptive and photocatalytic properties of ferric oxide nanoparticles (FeO NPs) was evaluated. FeO NPs were synthesized via combustion method by using oxalyl dihydrazide (ODH), polyethylene glycol (PEG) and urea as fuels. The indigenously synthesized NPs were characterized by different analytical tools.
