Overview

Systematic review reveals superior performance of CuFe2O4 nanocomposites for water treatment, suggesting strong environmental benefits.

Key Points

  • This review aims to evaluate the photocatalytic performance of copper ferrite nanocomposites for treating water contaminated by organic and inorganic pollutants.
  • Conducted a systematic review following PRISMA guidelines utilizing studies from various databases (Scopus, PubMed, Web of Science, ScienceDirect) published from January 2014 to November 2025.
  • Ninety-eight studies were included based on specific criteria, focusing on parameters like pollutant type, pH, catalyst dosage, and irradiation time.
  • Quantitatively compared performance trends and operational optima for CuFe2O4-based photocatalysts.
  • CuFe2O4-based nanocomposites often achieved degradation efficiencies greater than 90% for numerous organic pollutants and selected inorganic contaminants.
  • Enhanced photocatalytic activity is attributed mainly to improved charge separation and reduced electron-hole recombination.
  • The magnetic properties of these nanocomposites allow for easier recovery and reuse, highlighting their practical application potential.
