A magnetic ZnFe2O4 (MNZnFe) was synthesized by microwave assisted hydrothermal method and was used as an adsorbent for the removal of acid dye Acid Red 88 (AR88) from aqueous solution. The effects of various parameters such as initial AR88 concentration (10-56 mg L(-1)), pH solution (3.2-10.7), and temperature (20-60°C) were investigated. Prepared magnetic ZnFe2O4 was characterized by XRD, SEM, HRTEM, ICP-AES, BET, FTIR, and measurements of the magnetic susceptibility. The experimental data were analyzed by the Langmuir and Freundlich models of adsorption. Equilibrium data fitted well with the Langmuir model. Pseudo-first-order and pseudo-second-order kinetic models and intraparticle diffusion model were used to examine the adsorption kinetic data. The adsorption kinetics was found to follow the pseudo-second-order kinetic model. Thermodynamics parameters, ΔG°, ΔH° and ΔS°, indicate that the adsorption of AR88 onto MNZnFe was spontaneous and exothermic in nature.

Bacterial biofilms are complex multicellular communities that adhere firmly to solid surfaces. They are widely recognized as major threats to human health, contributing to issues such as persistent infections on medical implants and severe contamination in drinking water systems. As a potential treatment for biofilms, this work proposes two strategies: (i) light-driven ZnFeO (ZFO)/Pt microrobots for photodegradation of biofilms and (ii) magnetically driven ZFO microrobots for mechanical removal of biofilms from surfaces.

To tackle the challenges of increasing the efficiency of photocatalysts, a ternary magnetic heterojunction photocatalyst containing spinel cobalt and zinc ferrites, and zeolite (CZZ) was designed and fabricated. The physicochemical properties of the novel photocatalyst were verified using characterization techniques such as XRD, FT-IR, FE-SEM, EDS mapping, N adsorption-desorption, VSM, PL, and UV-Vis DRS. The CZZ photocatalyst exhibited a significant Cr (VI) reduction rate of 0.

Nanozymes mimicking enzymes show great promise in anti-tumor therapy but are often limited by their low catalytic activity and lack of tumor specificity in hostile tumor microenvironments. This study develops a novel nanozyme, D/P@ZUCO, utilizing metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) with glutathione oxidase, peroxidase, and catalase-like activities. D/P@ZUCO is synthesized using ZnFeO and NH-UiO66 (Cu/Zr) through an in situ growth method, followed by loading with doxorubicin (DOX) and primaquine (PQ), and functionalization with oxidized hyaluronic acid (OHA).

Monotonic pore size and particles inseparability of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) caused serious effects on its light absorption ability and charge separation, restricting its application for antibiotic such as levofloxacin (LEV) degradation in water. In this study, a magnetically detachable nano-photocatalyst (ZnFeO@MIL-88A(Fe)) was synthesized using a simple two-step hydrothermal technique. The morphology and microstructure analyses showed that n-type ZnFeO catalyst particles were efficiently assembled onto the surface of MIL-88A(Fe) crystal.

Spinel ferrites demonstrate extensive applications in different areas, like electrodes for electrochemical devices, gas sensors, catalysts, and magnetic adsorbents for environmentally important processes. However, defects in the real spinel structure can change the many physical and chemical properties of spinel ferrites. Although the number of defects in a crystal spinel lattice is small, their influence on the vast majority of physical properties could be really decisive.
