The present study compiles with the physicochemical, magnetic, and photocatalytic evaluation of the mixed spinel Ni–Zn nanoferrites prepared by the auto-combustion sol–gel route. All the samples were characterized by XRD for the recognition of phase-pure cubic spinel structure. Spectral studies that...
