Unadulterated and Mn-doped CuFe2O4 nano-precious stones were effectively incorporated from its stoichiometric metal nitrates and urea blends, utilizing a microwave helped ignition strategy. Basic and attractive properties have been explored by XRD, FTIR, and VSM examination. Results uncovered that the as-arranged example is a cubic ferrite has high crystallinity. A minor of α-Fe2O3 stage is distinguished, because of inadequacy of response. The normal crystallite size of the as readied Mn-doped CuFe2O4 powders is around 20 to 25nm. FTIR spectra indicated two assimilation groups in the CuFe2O4 structure identified with octahedral and tetrahedral locales in the scope of 400–600 cm-1. The room temperature VSM aftereffects of the examples are speaking to the superparamagnetic conduct of the examples. The immersion polarization estimation of the as readied CuFe2O4 is 29 emu/g was watched and its worth increments to 39 emu/g after Mn-doping. The photocatalytic reactant movement for the as prepared samples was carried out using degradation of methylene blue. The results revealed that the samples are active catalyst
