AB  - The metal ion-based nanocomposite photocatalysts were accepted to exhibit a wide 
      range of photocatalytic and biological applications. In this paper, we synthesize 
      bare Fe(2)O(3), 1 wt% metal (Ag, Co, and Cu) doped Fe(2)O(3) nanoparticles (NPs) 
      using a simple hydrothermal process and wet impregnation method. The as-prepared 
      nanomaterials crystalline structure, shape, optical characteristics, and 
      elemental composition were determined by using X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), 
      X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Scanning electron microscope (SEM), 
      Energy-dispersive X-ray (EDS) and Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) 
      techniques. Furthermore, the synthesized nanocomposites were utilized as a 
      photosensitizer for the degradation of reactive red (RR120) and orange II (O-II) 
      dyes under sunlight irradiation. The synthesized 1 wt% Ag-Fe(2)O(3) (AgF) NPs 
      samples exhibit a more exceptional catalytic performance of RR120 and O-II dyes 
      (98.32%) within 120 min than the existing Fe(2)O(3), 1 wt% Co-Fe(2)O(3), and 
      Cu-Fe(2)O(3) NPs. The effect of parameters such as exciton formation under solar 
      irradiation, charge recombination rate, and surface charge availability. The 
      metal oxide-doped nanocomposite economic relevance is revealed by their long-term 
      durability and recyclability in photodegradation reactions. The photocatalytic 
      investigations show that the active species O(2)(∙-), HO(∙) and h(+) play an 
      important role in the dye degradation process. This research might pave the 
      opportunity for the sustainable development of greater photocatalysts for 
      photodegradation and a wide range of environmental applications.
