Metal ferrite nanocomposites have emerged as highly promising materials for environmental remediation, particularly in the degradation of toxic dyes from industrial effluents. These multifunctional materials, composed of spinel-structured ferrites (MFe₂O₄, where M = Co, Ni, Zn, etc.) integrated with various matrices or nanomaterials, exhibit exceptional magnetic, catalytic, and adsorptive properties. Their nanoscale size and high surface area facilitate efficient interaction with pollutants, while their magnetic nature allows for easy recovery and reuse, enhancing process sustainability. Recent advancements in synthesis and surface engineering have further improved their photocatalytic performance under visible light. Owing to these advantages, metal ferrite nanocomposites are gaining momentum as green, cost-effective solutions for wastewater treatment and broader eco-remediation applications.
