  • Characterization using Thermogravimetric analysis, XRD, SAED, FTIR, TEM, EDS, and DRS.

    • Main Results:

    • A single face-centered cubic (fcc) spinel structure (Fd-3m space group) was confirmed.
    • Crystallite size increased from 4.54 to 102.54 nm with rising sintering temperature.
    • Superparamagnetic behavior was observed at smaller sizes (4.54-5.10 nm), transitioning to ferrimagnetic at larger sizes.
    • Saturation magnetization increased from 9.49 to 33.04 emu/g with enhanced crystallite size.
    • Optical band gap was determined to be in the range of 1.84-2.26 eV, indicating semiconducting properties.
    • The material showed potential for photocatalytic O2 generation.

    Conclusions:

    • Sintering temperature is a critical parameter for tuning the properties of Cu-Mg nanoferrites.
    • The prepared nanoferrites exhibit tunable magnetic properties and semiconducting characteristics.
    • Cu-Mg nanoferrites demonstrate promise as efficient photocatalysts for solar energy applications.
