“…Abstract This paper reports the preparation of cobalt silicate (Co2SiO4, CSO) first by a cost-effective and simple sonochemical route, followed by the fabrication of Co2SiO4/g-C3N4 (CSO/CN) nanocomposites with different mass ratios by ultrasonic-assisted co-precipitation. We have investigated the photocatalytic performance of Co2SiO4, g-C3N4, and different Co2SiO4/g-C3N4 nanocomposites for the degradation of eriochrome black T (EB). …”
