Fe-Ag Nanocomposite: Hydrothermal Preparation of Iron Nanoparticles and Silver Dendrite Like Nanostructures

At the first stage fe3o4 and fe nanoparticles were synthesized via a simple hydrothermal method. then silver nanoparticles and fe-ag nanocomposites were synthesized in the presence of nabh4. the prepared products were characterized by x-ray diffraction pattern, scanning electron microscopy, and fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. vibrating sample magnetometer illustrated that fe nanoparticles have super paramagnetic behaviour. the photo catalytic behaviour of fe-ag nanocomposites was investigated using the degradation of three various azo dyes under ultraviolet light irradiation. the results show that nanocomposites have feasible magnetic and photo catalytic properties.
