In this study, we conducted the hydrothermal synthesis of cobalt (Co)–doped NiWO 4 , resulting in the formation of Co–NiWO 4  nanoparticles (NPs), followed by calcination at 550℃ for 12 h. Comprehensive analyses were performed to characterize the composition, structure, and morphology of the synthesized material. X-ray diffraction results confirmed the successful inclusion of Co in the NiWO 4  lattice, with the presence of characteristic peaks of CoWO 4 . The crystallite size, determined using the Scherrer equation, was measured to be 22 nm. Using UV-Vis spectroscopy and Tauc’s equation, we calculated the band gap energy ( Eg ) to be 3.75 eV for NiWO 4  and 1.75 eV for Co–NiWO 4 . The potential application of the synthesized material as a photocatalyst was investigated for the degradation of the diazo dye Congo red (CR). Under optimized reaction conditions, Co–NiWO 4  NPs demonstrated outstanding efficiency, degrading a total of 95% of CR. The degradation kinetics were well-described by the Langmuir–Hinshelwood (L–H) kinetic model, indicating that photoabsorption played a crucial role in the rate-controlling step. These encouraging results suggest that Co–NiWO 4  NPs hold promise as a viable option for addressing other pollutants in various applications.
