A novel bimetallic and reusable Y 2 ZnO 4 nanocatalyst was synthesized by a simple coprecipitation method. The prepared nanocatalyst exhibited dual catalytic activity and was characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The average crystallite and grain sizes were found to be 17 ± 1 and 10 ± 2 nm, respectively. On the one hand, the catalytic activity of the nanocatalyst was studied for the Knoevenagel condensation reaction of aromatic aldehydes with active methylene compounds, such as ethyl cyanoacetate and malononitrile, under microwave irradiation and solvent-free conditions. On the other hand, the nanoparticles also showed faster photocatalytic activity against methyl orange (MO) compared to other dyes. The nanocatalyst was easily recoverable by a simple filtration method and was recycled without any significant loss of catalytic activity. The advantages of this nanocatalyst were a simple workup procedure, high reaction yields, solvent-free conditions, reusability, and a short reaction time under green reaction conditions.
