Photocatalytic Performance of Co3O4 Prepared with the Assistance of Different Surfactants

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this paper, parallel flaw precipitation method has been employed to fabricate nanostructured Co3O4 with the assistance of different surfactants. It is found that the surface parameters, SEM image and photocatalytic performance of Co3O4 have a strong dependence on the type of surfactants. The prepared photocatalysts Co3O4 were characterized by BET, XRD and SEM. The results show that Co3O4 prepared with the assistance of sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate exhibits the best photocatalytic activity among the experimented compositions. The surface parameters and SEM all play an important role in promotion of photocatalytic activity of Co3O4 prepared.
