CO oxidation is one of the most important catalytic reactions and it has to be run at relatively high temperature. Photothermal catalysis system could convert light as heat to drive CO oxidation rather than their conventional counterparts that use only thermal stimulus. But the light intensity required in this photothermal catalysis system is much higher than the solar intensity, restricting the application of photothermal CO oxidation. Here we present a Fe 3 Si based photothermal converted system to assist Co 3 O 4 rhombus-shaped nanorods catalysts for achieving efficient photothermal CO oxidation just under weak solar irradiation . Based on photothermal experiments, we conclude that Fe 3 Si based photo-thermal converted system can convert 0.3–0.35 kW m −2 solar irradiation into a temperature as high as 160 °C, 3 times higher than existing photothermal catalytic systems , which able to excite the activity of Co 3 O 4 rhombus-shaped nanorods for complete CO oxidation, solely irradiated by third of standard solar light and outdoor sunlight. The results suggested that the photothermal CO oxidation can be driven by ambient solar irradiation in the presence of Fe 3 Si based photothermal system and Co 3 O 4 rhombus-shaped nanorods, facilitating for industrial applications.

The use of transition metals as bifunctional catalysts for rechargeable zinc-air batteries has recently attracted much attention. Due to their multiple chemical valence states, the cobalt oxides are considered to be promising catalysts for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER). In this work, bifunctional Ag-decorated Co3O4-nitrogen doped porous carbon composite (Co3O4-NC&Ag) catalysts were synthesized by annealing ZIF-67 in N2and O2, respectively, followed by Ag deposition using chemical bath deposition. Due to the decoration of Ag nanoparticles and high specific surface area (46.9 m2g−1), the electrochemical activity of Co3O4increased significantly. The optimized Co3O4-NC&Ag catalysts possessed superior ORR performance with a half-wave potential of 0.84 V (vs. RHE) and OER activity with an overpotential of 349 mV at 10 mA cm−2. The open circuit voltage of the Co3O4-NC&Ag-based zinc-air battery was 1.423 V. Meanwhile, the power density reached 198 mW cm−2with a specific discharge capacity of 770 mAh g−1at 10 mA cm−2, which was higher than that of Pt/C-based zinc-air battery (160 mW cm−2and 705 mAh g−1). At a current density of 10 mA cm−2, the charge-discharge performance was stable for 120 h (360 cycles), exhibiting better long-term stability than the Pt/C&RuO2counterpart.Keywords:zinc air battery;Co3O4;bifunctional catalysts;silver decoration

The construction of p–n heterojunction is an efficient strategy to restrain photogenerated charge carriers recombination and enhance the photocatalytic efficiency toward H 2 evolution from water splitting. Herein a novel p–n heterojunction Mn 0.25 Cd 0.75 S/Co 3 O 4 was synthesized via facile hydrothermal method. Photocatalytic H 2 evolution of as-synthesized Mn 0.25 Cd 0.75 S/Co 3 O 4 composites in the absence of noble metal co-catalysts under visible light irradiation ( λ ≥ 400 nm) was investigated. The results demonstrated that photocatalytic H 2 evolution of Mn 0.25 Cd 0.75 S was significantly enhanced by loading Co 3 O 4 nanoparticles . It was confirmed that 0.48 wt% of Co 3 O 4 loading content achieved the highest H 2 evolution rate of 25.71 mmol/g/h, which was about 5.35 times higher than that of pure Mn 0.25 Cd 0.75 S. The remarkably improved photocatalytic activity could be attributed to the formation of the p–n junction at the interface between Mn 0.25 Cd 0.75 S and Co 3 O 4 , effectively promoting interfacial charge transfer and separation. This work revealed that the p–n heterojunction Mn 0.25 Cd 0.75 S/Co 3 O 4 may be a promising candidate for efficient energy conversion.

As an ideal transition metal oxide, Co 3 O 4 is a P-type semiconductor with excellent electrical conductivity, non-toxicity and low cost. This work reports the successful construction of Co 3 O 4 materials derived from metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) using a surfactant micelle template-solvothermal method. The modified electrodes are investigated for their ability to electrochemically detect Pb 2+ and Cu 2+ in aqueous environments. By adjusting the mass ratios of alkaline modifiers, the morphological microstructures of Co 3 O 4 -X exhibit a transition from distinctive microspheres composed of fiber stacks to rods. The results indicate that Co 3 O 4 -1(NH 4 F/CO(NH 2 ) 2 = 1:0) has a distinctive microsphere structure composed of stacked fibers, unlike the other two materials. Co 3 O 4 -1/GCE is used as the active material of the modified electrode, it shows the largest peak response currents to Pb 2+ and Cu 2+ , and efficiently detects Pb 2+ and Cu 2+ in the aqueous environment individually and simultaneously. The linear response range of Co 3 O 4 -1/GCE for the simultaneous detection of Pb 2+ and Cu 2+ is 0.5–1.5 μM, with the limits of detection (LOD, S/N = 3) are 9.77 nM and 14.97 nM, respectively. The material exhibits a favorable electrochemical response, via a distinctive Co 3 O 4 -1 microsphere structure composed of stacked fibers. This structure enhances the number of active adsorption sites on the material, thereby facilitating the adsorption of heavy metal ions (HMIs). The presence of oxygen vacancies (O V ) can also facilitate the adsorption of ions. The Co 3 O 4 -1/GCE electrode also exhibits excellent anti-interference ability, stability, and repeatability. This is of great practical significance for detecting Pb 2+ and Cu 2+ in real water samples and provides a new approach for developing high-performance metal oxide electrochemical sensors derived from MOFs.

Background Co 3 O 4 shows potential as a cost-effective alternative to precious metal catalysts for VOCs catalytic combustion. However, its catalytic activity requires further enhancement. Methods A new type of paper-like carbon nanotube membrane composite (CNTs/PSSF) was used as a support to prepare Co 3 O 4 -CNTs/PSSF catalysts by metal-organic vapor deposition (MOCVD) and impregnation method (IM) respectively for toluene combustion. Besides, the effects of acid treatment to support on the catalytic activity were investigated. Various characterization techniques, including X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR), and oxygen temperature-programmed desorption (O 2 -TPD), were employed to evaluate the effects of different preparation methods and acid treatment on the structure and catalytic performance mechanism of Co 3 O 4 -CNTs/PSSF. Significant findings The preparation method significantly affects the catalyst's properties and catalytic activity. Compared with IM, the MOCVD-prepared catalysts show stronger coordination of carbon nanotubes, resulting in more oxygen vacancies and surface active oxygen. Additionally, oxygenous groups introduced by HNO 3 form Co-O-C linkage between Co and CNTs, promoting oxygen vacancies and enhancing surface active oxygen content, thereby dramatically improving the catalyst's catalytic activity, especially for HIM-10 whose T 90 is reduced by 140 °C. This work provides insights for enhancing the catalytic combustion activity of cobalt oxide.

Co 3 O 4 coating is one of most studied transition metal oxide due to its wide application in many fields such as gas sensors, electrochromic thin films, supercapacitors, and solar selective absorber. Aqueous electrophoretic deposition (EPD), which is considered as a cost-effective and environment-friendly coating technology, was successfully employed in preparing nano-Co 3 O 4 coating in this study. For the EPD process with the solid loading of 1 g L −1 , 2.0 mM nitric acid was employed as suitable additive and 5 V was employed as deposition voltage. The prepared nano-Co 3 O 4 coating exhibited good film characteristics, which was proved by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) technology. The result suggests that a rapid preparation of nano-Co 3 O 4 coating in aqueous dispersion system can be easily accomplished. Moreover, the optimum concentrations of the added nitric acid would increase with the solid loading of Co 3 O 4 nanoparticle, but the growth rate of the former was obviously lower than that of the latter.

Sulphate radical (SO 4 · - ) -based advanced oxidation process (SR-AOP) is a promising sewage treatment technology. Reduced graphene oxide (rGO) supported Co 3 O 4 composites were synthesized by a hydrothermal method for the degradation of iohexol (IOH) in the rGO/Co 3 O 4 /peroxymonosulfate (PMS) system. Experimental results show that rGO/Co 3 O 4 possessed much better PMS activated ability than pure GO or Co 3 O 4 , which is ascribed to the summation of rGO and Co 3 O 4 . The efficiency of rGO/Co 3 O 4 composite, single GO and Co 3 O 4 nanocrystals for the degradation of IOH were 98.7%, 15.8% and 79.8% at 15 min, and their corresponding reaction rate constants ( k app ) were 0.21 min −1 , 0.0077 min −1 and 0.080 min −1 , respectively. The results of active species capture experiment and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) experiment, showed that singlet oxygen is the main active species, which is non-radical degradation. rGO is conducive to the electron conduction of Co 3 O 4 , thus improving the efficiency of PMS activation. The system is simple and efficient, which is an effective technology to remove IOH.

In this paper, a Ag–Co3O4/graphene aerogel (GA) composite was prepared by dispersing Ag-modified low crystalline Co3O4 nanowires onto a GA carrier. The capacitive performance of the Ag–Co3O4/GA was studied and the results were compared with those of Co3O4/GA. Ag-functionalized Co3O4/graphene with precursor n(Ag)/n(Co) = 0.51 exhibited the highest specific capacitance (Cs) value of 1180 F g−1 at a current density of 1 A g−1, and the capacity retention was 86% after 1000 cycles at 5 A g−1. Furthermore, the electrochemical impedance spectroscopic results revealed a certain effect of electrolyte ions on the supercapacitive behavior. Ag-functionalized Co3O4/GA is believed to be one of the potential materials for supercapacitors with high performance.

The focus of this work is to develop a sensitive and reliable acetone gas sensor using the Pt-modified Co 3 O 4 /CoMoO 4 heterojunction derived from metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). Pt-loaded Co 3 O 4 /CoMoO 4 heterojunction was successfully prepared by the surface redox method, and the composites exhibited high sensitivity and selectivity for acetone with a low detection limit. By modifying the Co 3 O 4 /CoMoO 4 material with platinum loading, the sensor achieved a response of 24.12 to 20 ppm acetone, which was significantly better than that of the pure Co 3 O 4 /CoMoO 4 heterojunction. This work not only improves acetone detection strategies, but also enhances the potential for industrial and medical VOC monitoring applications.

Because of their superior power and energy densities, supercapacitors have garnered considerable amounts of attention in energy storage technologies. Co3O4 is considered as a regularly used electrode material for supercapacitors because of its high theoretical capacitance and outstanding electrochemical activity. However, owing to the Co3O4 electrode materials’ rapid capacity decay and low intrinsic conductivity, it is challenging to achieve high theoretical capacitance. As a result, doping Co3O4 with metal components can enhance its electrical and surface characteristics while also raising its conductivity. Through a straightforward hydrothermal reaction and subsequent thermal decomposition, a series of Fe doping into Co3O4 has been successfully realized in this paper. This generates a nanosheet floral cluster structure and exposes more active sites, and the two metal elements work in concert to improve the capacitance performance. The electrochemical performance of the Co-0.2Fe-450 electrode material appears satisfactory when the doping amount of Fe is 0.2 mmol and its thermal decomposition temperature is 450 °C. The specific capacitance at 1 A g−1 is 680 F g−1. The capacitance retention rate at 10 A g−1 current density after 5000 charge–discharge cycles is 84.67%. Notably, the assembled asymmetric supercapacitor retains 105.5% of its capacitance after 5000 cycles and has a power density of 803.13 W kg−1 and an energy density of 17.78 W h kg−1. Fe-doped Co3O4 has a strong future in energy storage, as evidenced by its exceptional electrochemical characteristics.

Rational design on the microstructure and chemical composition of transition metal-based electrode materials is critical for boosting electrochemical glucose detection. In this work, the hollow heterostructured CuO x @Co 3 O 4 nanotube arrays on Cu foam (CuO x @Co 3 O 4 NTAs/CF) were fabricated. Coupling Co 3 O 4 nanoparticles on CuO x nanotube modulates the electronic structure by heterostructure, enhancing charge transfer during electrocatalytic glucose oxidation. Moreover, the unique hierarchical tubular core-shell structure guarantees abundant well-distributed active sites and rapid pathways for glucose and electrolyte diffusion. Beneficial from the advanced structure, the sensor fabricated with CuO x @Co 3 O 4 NTAs/CF possesses a high sensitivity of 23347.4 μA mM⁻¹ cm⁻² at linear range of 10-527 μM and low limit of detection of 0.56 μM (S/N=3). In addition, the outstanding selectivity, reproducibility and long-term stability (94.5 % for 30 days) as well as good recovery rate in artificial saliva, sweat, and human serum samples are also accessible advantages for our fabricated sensor. The excellent sensing performance of CuO x @Co 3 O 4 NTAs/CF demonstrates its potential application for electrochemical glucose detection.

In this study, the Co 3 O 4 -SnO 2 composite derived from bimetallic oxalates was rationally fabricated and utilized as a catalyst for peroxymonosulfate (PMS) activation towards the destruction of chloramphenicol (CAP). The physicochemical properties of the Co 3 O 4 -SnO 2 were systematically characterized to discover the relationship between its structure and catalytic performance. SnO 2 as a cocatalyst with high conductivity and stability immensely improved the activity of Co 3 O 4 in the Co 3 O 4 -SnO 2 composite. Approximately 98% of CAP (10 mg/L) was eliminated by the Co 3 O 4 -SnO 2 (0.1 g/L) activated PMS (1.0 mmol/L) at initial pH 7 within 20 min. The rationally designed Co 3 O 4 -SnO 2 composite exhibited higher catalytic activity than Co 3 O 4 , SnO 2 , and other cobalt-based bimetallic oxides (such as Co-Fe, Co-Mn, and Co-Cu) in the PMS activation for the CAP degradation. The synergistic effect of Co 3 O 4 and SnO 2 endowed the Co 3 O 4 -SnO 2 composite with higher conductivity and more electron transfer, which was proved by the electrochemical tests. The presence of SO 4 •− , • OH, O 2 •− , and 1 O 2 during the CAP degradation was testified by both quenching experiments and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy. In addition, the catalytic mechanism and degradation pathways were further proposed via the characterization of X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and the identification of transformation products, respectively. This work provides a new insight into the preparation of novel catalysts and their application in wastewater treatment.
