In this paper we report the facile preparation of Co₃O₄ nanoparticles via thermal decomposition of Co(NO₃)₂ loading on g-C₃N₄. The as synthesized Co₃O₄ nanoparticles were characterized by XRD, FT-IR, XPS and TEM techniques. The results indicate that the g-C₃N₄ decomposed completely with the cubic Co...
