The present work deals with the synthesis, characterization, and testing towards the photochemical degradation efficiency of cobalt oxide (Co3O4) nanoparticles (NPs). Following the synthesis of Co3O4 NPs by the hydrothermal method, the NPs are confirmed to be formed in their cubic lattice structure...
