This work aims to modify the copper ferrite with a porphyrin derivatives by a simple method of self-assembly. The resultant porphyrin-modified copper ferrite was utilized as a photocatalyst for the removal of methyl blue dyes (MB) from aqueous solution. The results showed that the porphyrin nanofibers were well-intergrated with the copper ferrite nanoparticles. The porphyrin-modified copper ferrite materials exhibited the high photocatalytic performance toward MB dye with the removal percentage of approximately 100% after 200 minutes of irradiation under simulated light. The catalyst could be facilely separate by using a external magnet and reused.
