The effectiveness of photocatalytic degradation is a crucial factor in addressing environmental pollution. This study explores the potential of a composite material consisting of FeFe2O3 nanoparticles and single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) for enhanced photocatalytic degradation of organic pollutants. The preparation of this composite material was carried out via a simple solvothermal method. The obtained nanocomposite was analyzed using various techniques, including X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The degradation efficiency of the FeFe oxide-SWCNT composite was assessed by monitoring the degradation of methylene blue (MB) under UV irradiation.

The results reveal that the FeFe2O3-SWCNT composite exhibits significantly higher photocatalytic activity compared to pure FeFe2O3 nanoparticles and SWCNTs alone. The enhanced efficiency can be attributed to the synergistic effect between FeFe oxide nanoparticles and SWCNTs, which promotes charge generation and reduces electron-hole recombination. This study suggests that the FeFe oxide-SWCNT composite holds promise as a effective photocatalyst for the degradation of organic pollutants in wastewater treatment.
