COBALT OXIDE DECORATED FLOWER-LIKE g-C3N4 HYBRID NANOMATERIALS FOR CARBON MONOXIDE OXIDATION
Co3O4 decorated flower-like g-C3N4 hybrid nanocatalysts were successfully synthesized and prepared via a facial hydrothermal method. The composition and morphology of the as-synthesized Co3O4/g-C3N4 nanocatalysts were characterized by the techniques of XRD, FT-IR, SEM, TEM, XPS and N2-sorption. The analysis results indicated that the as-synthesized samples possess the flower-like structure, which consisted of g-C3N4 nanosheets and Co3O4 nanoparticles with the size about 25[Formula: see text]nm. The as-prepared Co3O4/g-C3N4 catalysts possess high catalytic activity and excellent stability for carbon monoxide (CO) oxidation. The total conversion of Co can be kept for more than 48[Formula: see text]h under the reaction temperature of 120[Formula: see text]C.
