We tried to thoroughly investigate how changes in Zn2+ concentration affected the particle size, shape, magnetic properties, optical band gap, and photocatalytic activities of B-ZnxCo1−xFe2O4 nanocomposites. The photodegradation of crystal violet (CV), a model reaction under visible light irradiations, was used to assess the photocatalytic activities of the samples. Compared to other samples, the B-ZnxCo1−xFe2O4 (x=0.5) showed the highest photocatalytic activity, which is best matched to the pseudo-first-order kinetic. According to investigations using reactive species capture, the superoxide radicals have the main role in the degrading process, while the hydroxyl radicals and holes have a secondary and minimal effect, respectively. © 2023 Wiley-VCH GmbH.John Wiley and Sons Inc2023Articlehttps://rdlopen.rawdatalibrary.net/r/ebyu/12055https://doi.org/10.1002/slct.2022045682365-6549enChemistrySelectinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessinfo:eu-repo/semantics/articlehttps://ebyu-rdlopen.rawdatalibrary.net/tr/items/ebyu/12055
