Synthesis and photocatalytic property of multilayered Co 3 O 4

Visible Light-Driven Photocatalytic Degradation of 1,2,4-trichlorobenzene with Synthesized Co3O4 Photocatalyst

“…H + , ·OH -, and ·O 2 -, etc. are suspected of being involved in this visible light-driven photocatalytic degradation of 1,2,4-TCB with the synthesized Co 3 O 4 photocatalyst [23,29].…”

“…Other metal oxides with low cost and high catalytic activity, good thermal stability, large specific surface area, and a facile preparation method are essential drivers for the successful application of a catalyst [20][21][22]. As a transition metal oxide, Co 3 O 4 is formally a spinel-type structure, with the lattice being composed of regular tetrahedrons (oxygen ions covering Co 2+ ) and regular octahedrons (oxygen ions covering Co 3+ ) [23]. With empty electron orbitals, Co 3 O 4 may accept and transfer electrons, forming stable complexes and accelerating reactions, so Co 3 O 4 has risen in significance in terms of catalyst applications [24].…”

Enhanced photocatalytic performance of (ZnO/CeO2)-β-CD system for the effective decolorization of Rhodamine B under UV light irradiation

“…Synthetic organic dyes are considered as one of the major environmental pollutants for water pollution because of their large-scale production, chemical stability, high aromaticity, low biodegradability, toxic and carcinogenic in nature Zhang et al 2015). During the dyeing processes, a significant amount of dyes is lost and discharged into the water sources (Kumar et al 2013;Saraf et al 2015;Liu et al 2015).…”

“…These methods are nondestructive, transfer of organic pollutants from one phase to another and, thus, ineffective. Semiconductor photocatalysis is a promising and alternative to conventional methods and more attractive for the removal from waste water because of its effective, simple instrumental technique, easy controlled operation, non-selective oxidation, low expensive, complete mineralization and degradation of synthetic organic dyes (Zhang et al 2015;Yuan et al 2015). Many semiconductors like ZnO, TiO 2 , CeO 2 , WO 3 , CdS and ZnS are used as photocatalysts for environmental decontamination purposes (Montini et al 2010).…”

Controllable synthesis of self-assembly Co3O4nanoflake microspheres for electrochemical performance

“…It has been proved that cobaltosic oxide with different morphologies and microstructures should present different properties [14]. Up to now, lots of different Co 3 O 4 morphologies and sizes, such as nanowire [15], nanorods [16,17], nanosheet [13,18,19], nanonet [11], nanocubes [3], nanotubes [20], nanowalls [21], urchin-like [4,22] and porous hollow polyhedra [12,23], etc. have been synthesized successfully through various methods, that is, CBD method, hydrothermal method, template-assisted method, solvothermal method and thermal oxidation [7,15,19,24,25].…”
