Synthesis and evaluation of Cd-Co3O4@SGCN nanocomposites for photocatalytic degradation of RY-18 and inactivation of pathogenic bacteria
In this research, cobalt oxide (Co3O4) nanoparticles and a series (1.3–9.3 mol%) of cadmium doped cobalt oxide (Cd-Co3O4) were synthesized using a simple co-precipitation method. All the prepared nanoparticles were characterized by FTIR, XRD, SEM, EDX and UV-Visible spectroscopy. The crystalline structure of Co3O4 was...
