Mesoporous Octahedron-Shaped Tricobalt Tetroxide Nanoparticles for Photocatalytic Degradation of Toxic Dyes
[Image: see text] The present article reports a facile approach to fabrication of mesoporous octahedron-shaped tricobalt tetroxide nanoparticles (Co(3)O(4) NPs) with a very narrow size distribution for eco-friendly remediation of toxic dyes. Co(3)O(4) NPs were fabricated by a sol–gel process using c...

description | [Image: see text] The present article reports a facile approach to fabrication of mesoporous octahedron-shaped tricobalt tetroxide nanoparticles (Co(3)O(4) NPs) with a very narrow size distribution for eco-friendly remediation of toxic dyes. Co(3)O(4) NPs were fabricated by a sol–gel process using cobalt chloride hexahydrate (CoCl(2)·6H(2)O) and monosodium succinate (C(4)H(5)O(4)Na) as a chelating/structure-directing agent and sodium dodecyl sulfate as a surfactant. Moreover, the phase structure, elemental composition, and thermal and morphological facets of Co(3)O(4) NPs were investigated using XRD, FT-IR, EDS, Raman, XPS, TGA, SEM, and TEM techniques. The face-centered cubic spinel crystalline structure of the Co(3)O(4) NPs was confirmed by XRD and SEM, and TEM analysis revealed their octahedron morphology with a smooth surface. Moreover, the narrow pore size distribution and the mesoporous nature of the Co(3)O(4) NPs were confirmed by Brunauer–Emmett–Teller measurements. The photocatalytic activity of Co(3)O(4) NPs for degradation of methyl red (MR), Eriochrome Black-T (EBT), bromophenol blue (BPB), and malachite green (MG) was examined under visible light irradiation, and the kinetics of the dye degradation was pseudo-zero-order with the rate constant in the order of MR > EBT > MG > BPB. Furthermore, the mechanism of photo-disintegration mechanism of the dye was examined by a scavenging test using liquid chromatography–mass chromatography, and its excellent photodegradation activities were attributed to the photogenerated holes (h(+)), superoxide (O(2)(–)) anions, and hydroxyl ((·)OH) radicals. Finally, the synergistic effect of the nano-interconnected channels with octahedron geometry, mesoporous nature, and charge transfer properties along with photogenerated charge separations leads to an enhanced Co(3)O(4) photocatalytic activity. |
