Abstract

The present work focuses on the development of CdFe2O4 nanorods (NRs) as photocatalyst using cabbage (Brassica oleracea) leaf extract as stabilizing agent. The green CdFe2O4 NRs are employed for the photodegradation of methyl orange (MO) and cytotoxicity test using Allium cepa L plant. To confirm the crystallinity of CdFe2O4, NRs were calcined at 600, 700 and 800 °C. For experimental study, the CdFe2O4 NRs calcined at 700 °C was used because of its small crystallite size and low bandgap. XRD analysis revealed that the CdFe2O4 NRs are 30 nm in crystallite size. Nanorod shape of prepared CdFe2O4 is confirmed by TEM. The presence of phytochemicals in the leaf extract and the metal–oxygen bonding are confirmed by FT-IR. Photodegradation efficiency of MO is observed 94% under UV–vis and 84% sunlight within 60 and 90 min, using CdFe2O4 NRs, respectively (1.5 g/dm3). The cytotoxicity outcome exhibited that the photodegraded product of the dye solution is less toxic than pure MO solution. The Allium cepa L root tip meristematic cells are normal, and mitotic index and morphometric growth were higher in photodegraded solution compared to tap water and pure MO solution. Therefore, CdFe2O4 NRs calcined at 700 °C are found to be a robust and reusable photocatalyst under both UV–vis and sunlight.
