Abstract

A nitrogen doped TiO2/Ni0.5Zn0.5Fe2O4 core–shell structure nanoparticles was prepared by low temperature sol–gel-hydrothermal process. The characterizations of the catalyst indicate that the Ni0.5Zn0.5Fe2O4 nanocrystals of about 25 nm are well-coated with crystalline N-doped titania. The absorption edges in the diffusion reflectance spectra of TiO0.98N1.02 and TiO1.37N0.63/Ni0.5Zn0.5Fe2O4 shift to visible light region. The core–shell nanocatalysts can effectively photodegrade organic pollutants in the dispersion system and can be recycled easily by an external magnetic field.
