Implication

Experimental study demonstrates 98% visible-light degradation of methylene blue using a boron-doped C3N4/NiFe2O4 nanocomposite, indicating enhanced photocatalytic performance for wastewater treatment.

Key Points

Synthesize a boron-doped carbon nitride and nickel ferrite nanocomposite to evaluate its effectiveness as a visible-light photocatalyst for breaking down methylene blue dye.
Synthesized boron-doped C3N4 (BCN) by thermal condensation of dicyandiamide with boric acid, and prepared NiFe2O4 nanoparticles using a sol-gel method.
Characterized structural and optical properties via XRD, FTIR, FESEM, TEM, UV-Vis DRS, XPS, and photoluminescence spectroscopy.
Assessed photocatalytic degradation of methylene blue in aqueous solution under visible light irradiation.
The BCN/NiFe2O4 nanocomposite attained a 98% degradation efficiency of methylene blue under visible light irradiation.
Photocatalytic degradation efficiency of the hybrid BCN/NiFe2O4 composite surpassed that of standalone BCN and pure NiFe2O4.
