Popis: The developing eminently capable nanocatalyst is a befitting need of catalytic industries. This brief review provides knowledge about the recent advances in use of nanoferrite composites in various catalytic processes like immobilization of enzymes, degradation of harmful contaminants in waste water, synthesis of biofuel. Easy deactivation, less recovery, and low stability like limitations of traditional catalysts are transcended by peculiar nanocatalysts. With latest advancement in synthesis, functionalization and designing techniques the preparation process of efficient ferrite nanocatalyst hybrids is optimized. The various catalytic applications of spinel ferrites are due to facile recovery, stability, and activity provided by ferrites in catalytic processes. In the present article, the behavior of ferrite as biocatalyst, Fenton catalyst and photocatalyst have been briefly reviewed and summarized.
