| Abstract | Magnetically recyclable spinel Cu$_{1−x}$Mn$_{x}$Fe$_{2}$O$_{4}$ (0.0 ≤ x ≤ 0.5) ferrite nanophotocatalysts were synthesized by a simple one-pot microwave combustion method using glycine as the fuel. The synthesis process only took a few minutes to obtain CuFe$_{2}$O$_{4}$ nanopowders. The formation of nanocrystalline single-phase cubic spinel structure was confirmed by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR), energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) and selected area electron diffraction pattern (SAED) analyses. The surface morphology of the samples consists of nearly spherical shaped nanoparticles (NPs) with agglomeration, which was confirmed by high-resolution scanning electron microscopy (HR-SEM) and high resolution transmission electron microscope (HR-TEM) analyses. The optical band gap energy (E $_{g}$) was confirmed by UV-Vis diffuse reflectance spectrum (DRS) study, and the E $_{g}$ of undoped CuFe$_{2}$O$_{4}$ sample is 2.39 eV and it is increased from 2.51–2.81 eV with increasing the amount of Mn$^{2+}$ content (x = 0.1–0.5), due to the decrease of particle size. The magnetic hysteresis (M– H) curve showed ferromagnetic behavior for all compositions. The magnetization (M $_{s}$) of the samples monotonically increased with increasing Mn content x = 0.0–0.5. Smaller values of coercivity showed soft magnetic nature of Cu$_{1−x}$Mn$_{x}$Fe$_{2}$O$_{4}$ NPs. The photocatalytic degradation (PCD) of 4-chlorophenol (4-CP) under visible light using the spinel CuFe$_{2}$O$_{4}$ catalysts shows poor activity. Therefore, the present study leads to enhance the photocatalytic (PC) activity of spinel Cu$_{1−x}$Mn$_{x}$Fe$_{2}$O$_{4}$ NPs with the addition of TiO$_{2}$ catalyst using the PCD of 4-CP under visible light. It was found that the coupled Cu$_{1−x}$Mn$_{x}$Fe$_{2}$O$_{4}$-TiO$_{2}$ nanocomposite (NCs) photocatalysts exhibit excellent PC activity than that of Cu$_{1−x}$Mn$_{x}$Fe$_{2}$O$_{4}$ and TiO$_{2}$ catalysts. The sample Cu$_{0.5}$Mn$_{0.5}$Fe$_{2}$O$_{4}$-TiO$_{2}$ NCs showed greater performance than the other NCs. The enhanced PC ability of Cu$_{1−x}$Mn$_{x}$Fe$_{2}$O$_{4}$-TiO$_{2}$ NCs could be ascribed to the interconnected heterojunction of spinel Cu$_{1−x}$Mn$_{x}$Fe$_{2}$O$_{4}$ and TiO$_{2}$ catalysts. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
