Tuning crystallinity and electronic structure of Co3O4 nanoparticles via hydrothermal time for improved photocatalytic dye degradation and statistical kinetic evaluation
This study explores photodegradation using needle-like Co3O4 NPs with time-dependent morphology, fabricated using a hydrothermal method with different hydrothermal reaction times (12 h, 24 h, 48 h, and 72 h), as a photocatalyst for organic dye degradation under simulated solar light irradiation. XRD, FTIR spectroscopy,...
