The issue of effluent, especially organic colorants from several manufacturing units overlays an immense delinquent of the current epoch owing to its effect on oncogenic health hazards. Thus, Rare Earth Metal dysprosium (Dy) doped Zinc Ferrite (ZnFeO) were as-synthesized by a facile co-precipitation technique as an effectual nano photocatalyst intended to the amputation of these noxious dyes. The structural, functional, optical, magnetic, and degradation properties of this RE (Dy) doped ions were investigated using various characterizations, such as crystallite size (D) and several parameters (cation distribution, oxygen positional parameters, and bond length) were determined using XRD (X-ray diffraction) and it was found that as the dy ion concentration increases the speck size decreased and the grain size remained within nano regime, which intern affects the surface area.

The as-synthesized ZnFeO nanocrystals were premeditated with the application protracted to degradation of Methylene blue organic dye. The results specify that the pH plays the utmost decisive facet in photo-Fenton recital.

Inverse spinel ferrites have demanded substantial attention in the recent past owing to their diverse technological deeds by conquering admirably with its surface, finite size effects and optical properties which has its proficient applications in photocatalytic degradation, magnetic resonance imaging and sensors etc. The substituted La3+ ions delay the development of grain growth of the materials in a meticulous manner compared with that of the pure Ni ferrites. We tale development of magnetic features in La3+ substituted Ni nano-ferrites synthesized by co-precipitation technique and then analyzed from the structural and magnetic perspectives.
