Photoremediation of methylene blue by biosynthesized ZnO/Fe3O4 nanocomposites using Callistemon viminalis leaves aqueous extract: A comparative study

This article reports a simple, cost-effective, and eco-friendly biosynthesis of ZnO/Fe3O4 nanocomposites using Callistemon viminalis leaves’ water extract. For the first time, we used a green synthetic route via C. viminalis leaves’ extract to prepare ZnO/Fe3O4 nanocomposites (NCs) using zinc acetat...
