Abstract

Magnetic NiFe 2O 4 nanoparticles were synthesized via a hydrothermal and calcination process. The obtained NiFe 2O 4 with an average diameter of 17.8 nm and specific surface area of 76.2 m 2 g - 1 is first used as a photocatalyst for hydrogen production, and exhibits an obvious visible-light-driven photoactivity, and therefore is promising in the practical application as a magnetically separable and visible-light-responsive photocatalyst without Pt-loading.
