This study delves into the hydrothermal fabrication of cobalt sulfide (Co3S4) nanotubes and evaluates their potential in catalytic and electrochemical applications. Given the growing interest in nanomaterials for their unique properties and multifunctional applications, Co3S4 nanotubes represent a significant advancement in material science. The hydrothermal method, known for its simplicity and efficiency, is employed for the synthesis of these nanotubes. Characterization techniques such as X-ray Diffraction (XRD) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) are used to analyze the structural properties of the fabricated nanotubes. The study finds that these nanotubes exhibit superior catalytic activity and electrochemical performance compared to their bulk counterparts, largely due to their enhanced surface area and unique structural properties. This research opens up new possibilities for the application of Co3S4 nanotubes in areas such as energy storage, catalysis, and environmental remediation, highlighting their potential as versatile and efficient materials in advanced technological applications.
