Preparation and Investigation of some Physical Properties and Photocatalytic Activity of a co-Catalyst CoO-V2O5

Abstract The current work involves preparation of neat vanadium oxide and cobalt oxide. Likewise, various percentage from their mixed forms were prepared in ratios: 25%, 50%, 75% 100% CoO precipitated with fixed weight V 2 O 5 2.0 g. In addition, the above CoO, individual metal oxides mixtures ratios solution sulphate nitrate both metals respectively by co-precipitation process adding sodium carbonate. All carbonates transfer to corresponding calcification at 773 K. Spectroscopic studies for using X-rays diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). Some physical properties these such as pore size, density, porosity electrical conductivity. activity materials investigated following photocatalytic oxidation 1-octanol over a suspension materials. obtained results showed that photocaatalytic alcohol was achieved when each catalyst, light, air 1-octanol.
