Simple hydrothermal synthesis of metal oxides coupled nanocomposites: Structural, optical, magnetic and photocatalytic studies

- Room temperature ferromagnetic metal oxides coupled nanocomposites were prepared by simple hydrothermal method.
- XAFS and Mössbauer analyses were used to characterize the local structures of nanocomposites.
- The photocatalytic and magnetic studies suggest a major role of surface oxygen vacancies and charge carriers.
