Herein, 2D/2D porous Co 3 O 4 nanosheets/rGO composites modified GCE (Co 3 O 4 /rGO/GCE) were proposed for electrochemical detection of tryptophan (Trp). The surface morphology and structure of Co 3 O 4 /rGO nanosheets were carried out using SEM, XRD , and Raman spectra . Electrochemical performance of Trp on as-synthesized modified electrodes were discussed by CV and EIS techniques. Moreover, the best electrochemical property was also investigated by varying test condition detailedly. Consequently, oxidation peak intensity and current density were 130.3 μA and 336.7 μA·cm −2 on Co 3 O 4 /rGO/GCE at working potential of 0.78 V ( vs. SCE electrode), respectively. They were more than 23-times greater than these on bare GCE in electrochemical detection of Trp. It was attributed to the synergy effect of 2D porous Co 3 O 4 nanosheets (high catalytic activity) and 2D rGO nanosheets (large electrochemical active area). After the optimization, wide linear determination ranges (from 1.0 to 800 μM) and low LOD of 0.26 μM (S/N = 3) were acquired. In addition, these electrodes were further successfully applied to the determination of Trp in commercial amino acid injection samples. This 2D porous Co 3 O 4 /rGO modified GCE sensor could provide a slight view on the design of 2D/2D composite materials with high electrochemical properties.

A CoOOH cocatalyst overlayer is electrochemically deposited on the BiVO 4 surface, and thermal annealing converted CoOOH to Co 3 O 4 in situ. The primary difference between the two cocatalysts lies in their electrolyte permeabilities, resulting in significant differences in their thermodynamic effects on enhancing the photoelectrochemical water oxidation performance. We proved that the CoOOH cocatalyst is unable to achieve true chemical passivation of the surface states of the BiVO 4 photoanode, whereas the Co 3 O 4 cocatalyst can chemically passivate the surface states. Nevertheless, the CoOOH cocatalyst still exhibits better water oxidation performance than Co 3 O 4 , which is attributed to the fact that the permeable CoOOH cocatalyst can accumulate more photogenerated holes in the bulk phase and provide more active sites. However, the CoOOH cocatalyst still exhibits better water oxidation performance compared to Co 3 O 4 , which is attributed to the permeable CoOOH cocatalyst can accumulate more photogenerated holes in its bulk phase and offer more active sites.

A portable sensor for visual monitoring of Fe 2+ and H 2 O 2 , two-dimensional Co 3 O 4 modified by nano-IrO 2 (IrO 2 @2D Co 3 O 4 ) was prepared in this work, for the first time, with the help of microwave radiation at 140 °C, which was further stabilized onto common test strips. The present IrO 2 @2D Co 3 O 4 possessed superior dual-function enzyme-like activity with low toxicity and excellent biocompatibility. Especially, trace Fe 2+ and H 2 O 2 could exclusively alter their enzyme-like catalytic activity with discriminating hyperchromic or hypochromic effect, i.e., from blue to colorless or to dark blue for both IrO 2 @2D Co 3 O 4 dispersion and its functionalized test strips. The linear regression equations were A 652 = 0.5940 − 0.00041 c Fe 2+ (10 −8 M, R 2 = 0.9927) for Fe 2+ and ∆A 652 = 0.0023 c H2O2 + 0.00025 (10 −7 M, R 2 = 0.9982) for H 2 O 2 , respectively. When applied to visual monitoring of aqueous Fe 2+ and intercellular H 2 O 2 , the recoveries were 101.2 ~ 102.5% and 95.8 ~ 103.7% with detection limits of 1.25 × 10 −8 mol/L and 1.02 × 10 −7 mol/L, respectively, far below the permitted values in drinking water set by the World Health Organization. The mechanisms for the enhancing enzyme-mimetic activity of IrO 2 @2D Co 3 O 4 and its selective responses to Fe 2+ and H 2 O 2 were investigated in detail. Graphical Abstract

With the aggravation of the environmental pollution problem and the depletion of natural resources, hydrogen production based on water splitting technology has become an effective method to satisfy the increasing demand for renewable energy. It is vital to design high-efficiency and low-cost electrocatalysts for water splitting. Herein, an electrocatalyst (Co3O4–S/NF) with a surface-sulphurated nanowire array structure is controllably synthesized for catalysing the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) process. Co3O4–S/NF (1 : 0.5) exhibits the best OER activity with an overpotential of 297 mV at 100 mV cm−2, which is lower than the overpotential (331 mV) of commercial Ir/C/NF. Additionally, the water-splitting voltage of the Co3O4–S/NF//Pt/C/NF electrolyzer reaches 1.571 V at 20 mV cm−2, which is also better than that of conventional noble-metal electrocatalysts. Notably, Co3O4–S/NF//Pt/C/NF also shows excellent efficiency in seawater electrolysis. The voltage reaches 1.656 V in a simulated alkaline seawater electrolyte (1 M KOH + 0.5 M NaCl) and 1.722 V in an alkaline seawater electrolyte (1 M KOH in seawater). This work can provide a robust electrocatalyst design for water electrolysis.

Engineering metal-based nanoarchitectures and their atomic-scale arrangement is a promising avenue for enhanced mercury adsorbent activities. Interactions between metal single atoms and substrates result in regulated transitions between distinct reaction processes that boost mercury adsorption activity. Herein, a novel sorbent of porous Co 3 O 4 with Palladium atomic dispersed was successfully prepared by one-step pyrolysis of zeolitic imidazolate framework 67 (ZIF-67) precursors. Via engineering single Pd atoms into ZIF-derived Co 3 O 4 (Pd 1 /Co 3 O 4 -ZIF), the strong metal-support interaction (SMSI) activated the reducibility of Co 3+ in porous Co 3 O 4 to efficiently adsorb and oxidize Hg 0 , enhancing its mercury removal efficiency. Specifically, Pd 1 /Co 3 O 4 -ZIF exhibited superior sorption performance for Hg 0 over a broad range of temperatures (30–350 °C) and high gaseous hourly space velocity (about 555,500 hr −1 ) with the average Hg 0 removal efficiency higher than 98%. The strategy of constructing atomic active sites on the surface of porous metal-oxide to convert adsorbed Hg 0 into HgO is a promising approach to solve the problem that Hg 0 in flue gas is challenging to remove. Density functional theory (DFT) calculation further proved that the existence of a single Pd site on the surface of Co 3 O 4 significantly reduced the energy barrier of Hg 0 to HgO at the atomic level. This work contributed to a thorough comprehension of the structural and adsorption properties of the ZIF-derived Co 3 O 4 sorbent engineering with a single atom and enabled the efficient capture of elemental mercury in flue gas by such ZIF-derived sorbent.

In this work, the facile fabrication of Co3O4particles/reduced graphene oxide (Co3O4/rGO) composites on Indium tin oxide (ITO) slide was achieved by an electrophoretic deposition and annealing process. The deposition time and ratio of the precursors were optimized. Structural characterization and chemical composition investigation indicated successful loading of Co3O4particles on graphene sheets. When applied as a non-enzymatic H2O2sensor, Co3O4/rGO showed significant electrocatalytic activity, with a wide linear range (0.1–19.5 mM) and high sensitivity (0.2247 mA mM−1cm−2). The good anti-interference ability, reproducibility, and long-term stability of the constructed sensor were also presented. The application of Co3O4/rGO in real sample analysis was evaluated in human urine sample with satisfactory results, indicating the feasibility of the sensor in physiological and medical applications.

Metal doping is a promising avenue to improve the catalytic property of Co-based catalysts for organic pollutants degradation via peroxymonosulfate (PMS) activation. Herein, alkaline earth metals doped mesoporous cobalt oxide catalysts (M/Co 3 O 4, M= Ca, Mg, Sr and Ba) were fabricated by combination of sol-gel method and cellulose template and employed to activate PMS for Ponceau 2 R (PR) decomposition. The doped alkaline earth metals induced strong promotion effects on the catalytic performance with the order of Ca > Mg > Sr > Ba. Notably, the rate constant of Ca/Co 3 O 4 (0.3048 min −1 ), which displayed the optimum catalytic performance, was 7.5 times that of pure Co 3 O 4 (0.0406 min −1 ) for PR degradation. Additionally, the influence of PMS and catalyst concentration, pH, doping amount, inorganic salts, and reaction temperature on PR degradation rate were investigated in detail. Ca/Co 3 O 4 manifested excellent catalytic activity after five successive runs without noticeable structure change. Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) and radicals scavenging experiments testified that O 2 ∙ - rather than • OH and SO 4 ∙ - was the dominating species for dye degradation . The reasonable catalytic mechanism was proposed.

Electrocatalytic nitrate reduction reaction (NO3RR) affords a bifunctional character in the carbon-free ammonia synthesis and remission of nitrate pollution in water. Here, we fabricated the Co3O4 nanosheet array with cobalt vacancies on carbon cloth (vCo-Co3O4/CC) by in situ etching aluminum-doped Co3O4/CC, which exhibits an excellent Faradaic efficiency of 97.2% and a large NH3 yield as high as 517.5 μmol h–1 cm–2, better than the pristine Co3O4/CC. Theoretical calculative results imply that the cobalt vacancies can tune the local electronic environment around Co sites of Co3O4, increasing the charge and reducing the electron cloud density of Co sites, which is thus conducive to adsorption of NO3– on Co sites for greatly enhanced nitrate reduction. Furthermore, the vCo-Co3O4 (311) facet presents excellent NO3RR activity with a low energy barrier of about 0.63 eV on a potential-determining step, which is much smaller than pristine Co3O4 (1.3 eV).

To selectively detect trace carbon monoxide (CO typically lower than 100 ppb) at low temperature is still a great challenge for chemiresistive gas sensors. In this work, we introduce In2O3 nanocubes with exposed {001} facets to couple with MOF-derived porous Co3O4 nanosheets (NSs) forming p–n heterojunction for trace CO detection. Benefiting from the vacancy storing effect of the sub-valent band on In2O3 nanocube {001} facets and the p–n heterojunction effect, the electron–hole recombination is effectively inhibited, and the carrier lifetime is prolonged. As a result, the prepared CoIn0.1-based gas sensor shows a good selectivity and ultralow detection limitation of 25 ppb toward CO at relatively low temperature of 175 °C. In addition, the CoIn0.1-based CO sensor also exhibits high response (272.89%) and ultrafast response/recovery time (2 s/13 s) to 100 ppm CO, which can be ascribed to the fast gas diffusion in the porous Co3O4 NSs and the high-index facet effect of In2O3 nanocubes. This work provides a method to design and synthesize trace CO gas sensors via modulating the band structure of p–n heterojunctions constructed by two-dimensional metal oxide NSs and oxide-exposed high-index facets.

The mimic enzyme has become a research hotspot in recent years because of its advantages of high stability, convenient preparation, and low price. In this article, Co3O4 nanosheets synthesized by a simple hydrothermal method possess the characteristics of a peroxidase-like activity. The results demonstrated that 3,3′,5,5′-Tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) could be oxidized by H2O2 to produce a typical blue product (oxTMB) which has a strong absorption at 650 nm wavelength with the help of the Co3O4 nanosheets. Thus, a simple and sensitive colorimetric detection method for H2O2 was established with a good linear relationship (2–200 μM) and a low limit of detection (0.4 μM). Meanwhile, the colorimetric product can effectively quench the fluorescence emitted by Ru(bpy)32+. Therefore, a colorimetric and fluorescence dual detection mode photochemical sensor for H2O2 detection is constructed based on the principle of the inner filter effect (IFE) between the colorimetric product (oxTMB) and Ru(bpy)32+. It can effectively avoid the false positive problem of a single detection mode. In the presence of glucose oxidase, glucose can be catalyzed to produce gluconic acid and H2O2; therefore, the sensor can also be used for the determination of glucose with a good linear relationship (0.02–2 μM) and a low limit of detection (5 nM). Experimental results showed that the sensor has a high sensitivity and strong anti-interference ability which can be used for the detection of actual samples.

Herein, photocatalytic selective oxidation of hydrocarbons through O 2 represents a promising way for fine chemical industry on account of its mild reaction condition. In this work, Co 3 O 4 -modified BiOBr/AgBr S-scheme heterojunction can effectively oxidize sp 3 C H bonds at benzylic position to its corresponding aldehydes, with a toluene to benzaldehyde selectivity of 94%, which is much higher than that of pure BiOBr (21.7%) and AgBr (58.9%). A unique S-scheme charge-transfer mode is confirmed for the ternary composites by the X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and reactive species quenching measurement. The remaining photogenerated electrons in AgBr with powerful reduction ability can react with O 2 to generate •O 2 − species, which can further oxidize the benzyl radical formed on the Co 3 O 4 surface to peroxyl radicals and then thermodynamically decompose to benzaldehyde. Herein, this work has important guiding significance for the structure regulation of photocatalysts and application in selective oxidation of sp 3 C H bond of hydrocarbons.

Graphical A hollow microcage structured CoMn- x catalyst was synthesized by the template method. In which abundant CO 3+ as well as surface reactive oxygen species on the surface of the CoMn-2 catalyst enabled it to exhibit extremely high catalytic activity for CO under space velocity 36,000 mL g cat −1 h −1 , being able to completely eliminate CO at 80 °C and maintain stable catalytic activity for up to 100 h. Cost-effective and highly efficient catalyst is a promising way for the removal of CO in automotive exhaust purification. Herein, a series of novel self-assembled CoMn bimetallic catalysts with hollow microcage structure have been prepared through zeolitic imidazole framework (ZIF-67) assisted method followed by direct pyrolysis in static air. Both the Mn loading and the unique hollow microcage structure play important roles in CO low-temperature oxidation, and the highest catalytic activity is obtained for CoMn-2 catalyst, which presents T 100 (temperature of 100 % CO conversion) at 80 °C. Through a systematic series of experiments, we further demonstrate that our catalysts’ superior catalytic performance arises from small particle size, high surface active oxygen content and Co 3+ /(Co 2+ +Co 3+ ) ratio. Such configuration of catalysts will pave the way for new strategies to design noble-free high-performance catalysts for CO low-temperature oxidation.
