Insight into hybridization of iron scrap derived Fe3O4 on TiO2: Facile synthesis of an eco-friendly photocatalyst, characterization, and photoelectric properties by Bonface Orero, Tumeletso Lekgoba, Major Mabuza, Joyce Elisadiki, Thandiwe Sithole, Freeman Ntuli, Tebogo Mashifana

“…UV–Vis DRS showed a significant reduction in bandgap from 2.41 eV to 1.45 eV with an increase in Fe3O4 composition as compared to pure TiO2 (3.05 eV), extending the light absorption into the visible region. In addition, PL revealed prolonged electron-hole recombination in TiO2-Fe3O4 hybrid, confirming an improved charge separation due to Fe3O4 mixed valence state structure, which prevents charge carrier accumulation and induces electron hopping between the Fe ions. …”
