Three methods (urea hydrothermal-calcination, chemical bath deposition-calcination, and oxalate pyrolysis) were used to prepare Co₃O₄ powder materials with different morphologies, which were named Co₃O₄-A, Co₃O₄-B, and Co₃O₄-C, respectively. All of them were taken as catalysts to activate peroxymonosulfate (PMS) for the degradation of methylene blue (MB). It is found that these Co₃O₄ materials were quite different in their catalytic performance. Under the assistance of Co₃O₄-A, Co₃O₄-B, and Co₃O₄-C, the PMS decomposition reaction rate constants were measured as 0.047 1, 0.217 4, and 0.003 7 min^-1, while the degradation ratios of MB were 91.25% (reaction time: 50 min), 100.00% (reaction time: 25 min), and 31.55% (reaction time: 50 min), respectively. That is, Co₃O₄-B had the best catalytic performance. To make clear the difference in the catalytic ability of Co₃O₄, a series of characterizations were carried out. It is discovered that these Co₃O₄ materials are different in many ways such as crystallinity, microstructure, specific surface area, surface oxygen vacancy concentration, and surface hydroxyl density. And it is confirmed that the primary factor influencing the catalytic performance of Co₃O₄ is the surface hydroxyl density. In addition, the optimized parameters for MB degradation in the Co₃O₄-B/PMS reaction system were determined as follows: reaction temperature 25 ℃, catalyst dosage 0.02 g·L^-1, and PMS dosage 0.6 mmol·L^-1, where the MB degradation ratio was as high as 98.33%. Moreover, the reactive oxygen species ·SO₄^-, ·OH, ·O₂^- and ¹O₂ were all detected in the Co₃O₄-B/PMS system according to the quenching experiments and electron paramagnetic resonance tests, and sulfate radicals were identified as the primary reactive oxygen species.
