The CuFe2O4/ZnO nanocomposite (CZO NCs) has been successfullysynthesized by a facile one-pot green assisted approach using Azadirachtaindicaextract. These synthesized nanocomposites were characterized by different techniques;Powder X-ray diffractometer (PXRD) confirms the formation of nanocrystallinecomposite material with crystallite size in the range 15-30 nm. The surface morphologyof prepared nanocomposite materials was changed due to the plant extraction action asreducing and capping agent studied by Scanning electron microscope (SEM), whichshows porous and spongy like structure. The photocatalytic performance of CZO NCswas examined for their potential role in the photodegradation of Methylene Blue (MB)dye under UV light. The result shows that the 1:2 molar CZO NCs is suitable forexcellent photocatalytic degradation performance of MB dye (98%). Electrochemicalanalysis of prepared material was conducted with graphite electrode paste in 0.1 M KClelectrolyte, which showed excellent performance in redox potential measured by CyclicVoltammetry and extended their sensor activities towards chemical and bio-chemicals(Paracetamol and Glucose). These studies open a new platform to utilize a simpleapproach for the preparation of multifunctional CZO NCs for their potentialapplications in wastewater treatment and electrochemical studies.
