title: Co3O4 quantum dots: reverse micelle synthesis and visible-light-driven photocatalytic overall water splitting.
abstract: Co3O4 quantum dots were synthesized by a facile reverse micelle method for the first time, and were capable of splitting pure water into O2 and H2 stoichiometrically under visible-light irradiation (λ > 420 nm) without any cocatalyst.
