In recent years, the biogenic synthesis of nanoparticle received enormous attention due to simple and eco-friendly path. Here in Jr.NiFe2O4 nanoparticles (NPs) were synthesized first time using the leave extract of Juglans regia via a straightforward process. The physio and phytochemical analysis of plant confirm the presence of macromolecules which function as bio-reductant and stabilize the nanoparticles. The Jr.NiFe2O4 NPs were characterized by UV-visible, FTIR spectroscopy, PXRD pattern, SEM and TGA/ DTA analysis. The nanoparticles proved to be optically active having a value of indirect bandgap of energy in the range of 1.53 eV. Besides, the ciprofloxacin (CIP) and Congo red (CR) degradation ability of Jr.NiFe2O4 NPs were also discussed. It is seen that the highest degradation rate was acquired for CIP using pH = 3, at 254 nm, while 85 % of removal rate was analysed for CR. The kinetic studies in case of CR removal followed pseudo-first-order. Overall, these data recommend an innovative inspiring application of a plant-mediated synthesis of Jr.NiFe2O4 NPs.
