Environmental pollution, especially water contamination, presents significant challenges to ecosystems, public health, and sustainability. Ferrite-based nanomaterials, specifically hybrids combining ferrites with several materials, have emerged as promising photocatalysts for wastewater treatment. These hybrids leverage ferrites’ unique structural, optical, and magnetic properties while addressing challenges such as electron-hole recombination, limited visible light absorption, and agglomeration. Recent advancements in synthesis techniques, including sol-gel, co-precipitation, and green methods, have enabled precise control over ferrite hybrid properties, enhancing photocatalytic efficiency and scalability. The integration of ferrites introduces synergistic effects, such as enhanced charge carrier separation, expanded light absorption into the visible spectrum, and enhanced surface area. Innovations like doping, plasmonic enhancement, and Z-scheme heterojunctions have further optimized these materials for efficient pollutant degradation. Studies have demonstrated their potential to degrade dyes, pharmaceuticals, and other emerging contaminants under visible and solar light. Despite their promise, challenges remain in understanding the mechanisms of charge transfer, optimizing synthesis for large-scale production, and ensuring stability in real wastewater conditions. This review highlights the transformative potential of ferrite-based hybrids as scalable, cost-effective, and environmentally friendly solutions for advanced wastewater treatment. Their development marks a crucial step toward mitigating water pollution and achieving global water sustainability goals.
