Then palladium nanoparticles and Fe3O4-Pd nanocomposites were synthesized with the aid of pepper extract as a reducing agent. Vibrating Sample magnetometer illustrated that Fe3O4 nanoparticles have super paramagnetic behaviour. The photo catalytic behaviour of Fe3O4-Pd nanocomposites was investigated using the degradation of two azo dyes under ultraviolet light irradiation. The results show that nanocomposites have feasible magnetic and photo catalytic properties. The prepared products were characterized by X-ray diffraction pattern, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. https://jns.kashanu.ac.ir/article_50043_bcf4e191b1d2f8a800ba29fc77fccec9.pdf
