bir araştırma sunulmaktadır. Çöktürücü maddeler olarak sodyum hidroksit, potasyum hidroksit
ve amonyak, jelleştirici madde olarak sitrik asit kullanılmıştır. Elde edilen kobalt ferrit
fotokatalizörlerinin karşılaştırmalı özellikleri X-ışını kırınımı (XRD), Fourier dönüşümü
kızılötesi (FTIR) spektroskopisi, taramalı elektron mikroskobu (SEM) ve enerji dağılımlı X Işını
analizi (EDX) karakterizasyon teknikleri ile incelenmiştir. Numunelerin fotokatalitik aktiviteleri,
görünür bölge ışıması altında Kristal Viyolet (KV) ve Rhodamin B (RhB)'nin fotobozunması ile
değerlendirildi. Birlikte çöktürme yöntemiyle ve çöktürücü madde olarak amonyak kullanılarak
sentezlenen kobalt ferrit, diğer örneklerle karşılaştırıldığında daha üstün fotokatalitik aktivite
sergiledi. Amonyak çöktürücüsü ile sentezlenen kobalt ferrit, fotokatalitik bozunma verimleri
KV ve RhB için, 40 dakika ve 120 dakika sürelerden sonra sırasıyla %100 ve %91.2 olarak
belirlendi. Boyaların fotobozunmasının yalancı birinci dereceden kinetik modeli takip ettiği
bulundu. Amonyak çöktürücüsü ile sentezlenen kobalt ferrit, yalancı birinci dereceden hız
sabitleri KV ve RhB için sırasıyla 0.0847 ve 0.0205/dak olarak belirlendi.

Synthesis, Characterization and Photocatalysis Applications of Cobalt Ferrite Nanoparticles: The Effect of Different Precipitating Agents and Methods

Abstract

In this study, a research on the effect of synthesis method on the structural and photocatalytic
properties of cobalt ferrite nanoparticles prepared by co-precipitation and sol-gel methods is
presented. Sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide and ammonia were used as precipitating
agents and citric acid was used as gelling agent. The comparative properties of the obtained
cobalt ferrite photocatalysts were investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform
infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray
analysis (EDX) characterization techniques. The photocatalytic activities of the samples were
evaluated by photodegradation of Crystal Violet (KV) and Rhodamine B (RhB) under visible
irradiation. cobalt ferrite synthesized by co-precipitation method and using ammonia as the
precipitant showed superior photocatalytic activity compared to other samples. Photocatalytic
degradation efficiencies of cobalt ferrite synthesized with ammonia precipitator were determined
as 100% and 91.2% for KV and RhB after 40 minutes and 120 minutes, respectively. The
photodegradation of the dyes was found to follow the pseudo-first-order kinetic model. The
pseudo-first order rate constants of cobalt ferrite synthesized with ammonia precipitator were
determined as 0.0847 ve 0.0205/min for KV and RhB, respectively
