Iron oxide titanium dioxide copper oxide nanohybrids with three different molar ratios 1 1 1 1 3 1 and 1 5 1 were successfully prepared by sol gel method X Ray Diffraction XRD Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy FESEM Energy Dispersive X rays EDX UV ndash Vis spectroscopy and Vibrating Sample Magnetometer VSM techniques were employed to determine the structure morphology optical gap energy and magnetic properties of the as prepared samples Photocatalytic examination of the nanohybrids was carried out using aqueous solution of methylene blue MB under ultraviolet and visible light irradiation The results demonstrate that the increase molar ratio of titanium dioxide and the addition of copper oxide to iron oxide titanium dioxide cooper oxide has remarkable influence on the photocatalytic activity The nanohybrids with 1 5 1 molar ratio has superior activity in degradation of MB under ultraviolet light while under visible light the maximum degradation is reached by sample with molar ratio 1 1 1 Furthermore the photocatalysts can be separated from the reaction system simply by applying an external magnetic Active species on photocatalytic activity were investigated by measuring the photocatalytic degradation in the presence of scavenger The results suggested that holes play the most important role in degradation of methylene blue.
