Abstract

A Ni_0.8Zn_0.2Fe₂O₄ reduced graphene oxide nanocomposite has been synthesized by a simple ‘in situ co-precipitation’ technique. This composite exhibited an ability to act as an excellent magnetically separable catalyst towards the degradation of various dyes as well as a toxic herbicide (trifluralin). It also demonstrated very good microwave absorption properties.
