The establishment of spinel cubic crystal structure was ensured\n by powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) technique. The particles like nanostructured morphology were confirmed by high-resolution scanning electron microscope (HRSEM). Energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) studies confirmed the formation of spinel ferrite structure and ensured that no other elements were\n present. Magnetic parameters such as remanant magnetisation (Mr), coercivity (He) and saturation magnetization (Ms) were calculated from the magnetic hysteresis (M-H) loops, which exhibited ferromagnetic behaviour. The photocatalytic behavior was investigated by visible light treatment for\n the photocatalytic degradation (PCD) of rhodamine B (Rh-B) dye and the sample NiCe<jats:sub>0.3<\/jats:sub>Fe<jats:sub>1.7<\/jats:sub>O<jats:sub>4<\/jats:sub> exhibits higher PCD efficiency (93.88%) than other compositions.
