Description
Summary:ZnO and cobalt doped ZnO were prepared by hydrothermal method with zinc acetate dihydrate, cobalt acetate tetrahydrate and urea as raw materials and sodium citrate as surface modifier. Congo red (CR) was used as the pollutant model for adsorption and photo-catalytic experiments. Under the same conditions, the adsorption effect of cobalt doped ZnO with different urea content on CR was investigated, and the optimum urea content was determined. Under the same conditions, the adsorption and photocatalytic properties of cobalt doped ZnO prepared with the best urea content at different annealing temperatures were studied. According to the analysis of experimental data, the adsorption effect of Co doped ZnO with urea content of 8mmol and annealing temperature of 300℃ is the best, and the photocatalytic effect is also the best under the same conditions.
