Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates the effect of adding silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) to zinc iron oxide (ZnFeO) nanoparticles on the photodegradation of Rhodamine B dye, highlighting the presence of multiple crystalline interphases in the composite.
  • Magnetic properties improved significantly with the addition of Ag NPs, where ZnFeO-Ag showed a drastic increase in magnetic saturation at low temperatures compared to the unmodified ZnFeO and FeO.
  • The composite demonstrated enhanced quantum yield for photodegradation, with the optimal performance seen in ZnFeO-Ag at concentrations between 1.5% and 2.5%, while also exhibiting antibacterial activity due to the combined effects

Herein we describe a new method for the determination of the surface temperature of magnetically heated nanoparticles in solution using the temperature dependency of the catalytic performances of iron carbide nanoparticles coated with ruthenium (FeC@Ru) for acetophenone hydrodeoxygenation. A correlation between nanoparticle surface temperature and magnetic field could be established. Very high surface temperatures could be estimated in different solvents, which were also found similar at a given magnetic field and well above some solvent boiling points.
