description In recent years, studies on dye removal and hydrogen energy have gained momentum. However, these studies are still not in the desired position. Existing biological and physical methods for dye removal are quite inadequate. In hydrogen production, the efficiency is very low when a catalyst is not used. It is important to obtain inexpensive catalysts for both purposes. For this purpose, Cobalt doped Zinc oxide nanoparticles (Co-doped ZnO NPs) were synthesized using a one-pot flash combustion approach. The photocatalytic activity and hydrolysis process of the produced catalyst on NaBH4 were evaluated. The photocatalytic activity of Co-doped ZnO NPs was investigated for decolorization against certain dyes under sunlight irradiation. Co-doped ZnO NPs were analyzed for hydrogen production from NaBH4 hydrolysis. It has been determined that the nanomaterial has a superior catalytic activity with Turnover frequency (TOF) of 1682.3 min−1, 32.45 kJ/mol enthalpy (∆E),-158.4 J/mol.K entropy (∆S), and 34.94 kJ/mol activation energy (EA) obtained as a result of the hydrolysis reaction of Co-doped ZnO NPs. Their reusability was found to be 72.5% at the 4th cycle. The photocatalytic activity of the Co-doped ZnO NPs was found 81.22% (120 min) and 86.98% (90 min) against RhB and MB dyes, respectively. According to the results obtained, it has been seen that Co-doped ZnO NPs are reusable catalysts with high catalytic activity for hydrogen production as a clean energy source. At the same time, it was emphasized that a photocatalyst with high catalytic activity was obtained for wastewater treatment.
