Abstract

A novel hydrothermal method has been utilized to synthesize Cu Fe2O4/AC Nanocomposite that avoids any usage of surfactants. Wherein, Cu Fe2O4/AC Nanoparticle was synthesized in the temperature range between 120 to 180°C by hydrothermal method and results a greater reproducibility. The synthesized Cu Fe2O4/AC Nanocomposite  and Characterized by SEM, XRD, FTIR, TGA, Cyclic Voltammetry (CV), Electrostatic Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS), Electrostatic impedance spectroscopy (EIS) studies. Studies on the antibacterial activity and photocatalytic degradation of a chemically generated Cu Fe2O4/AC nanocomposite were also carried out. The Kinetic model better fits the experimental findings of the Cu Fe2O4/AC Nanocomposite. The kinetic adsorption results were studied using pseudo-first- and pseudo-second-order models. The second-order models primarily regulated the adsorption rate and exhibited a high correlation coefficient (R2 > 0.99). Cu Fe2O4/AC Nanocomposite usually absorbs anions during the adsorption process of Methylene blue because, at acidic pH values, an increase in positively charged regions creates attractive electrostatic forces.  The results of this investigation demonstrate that the Cu Fe2O4/AC Nanocomposite effectively extracts the Methylene blue dye from the aqueous solution; hence, the Cu Fe2O4/AC Nanocomposite exhibits a low rate of degradation during repeated use.
