ZnO:Co/SDS with doping concentration varies between 3 ? 13 at% were synthesized by co-precipitation method. Sample composition also dopant and SDS existence characterized by Energy Dispersive X-Ray (EDX), Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR), and Electron Spin Resonance (ESR) spectroscopy. The effect of dopant and SDS to crystal structure of ZnO were examined by X-Ray Diffraction (XRD). All samples shown hexagonal wurtzite structure. Secondary phase of Zn(OH)2 were detected at ZnO:Co/SDS 13 at%. Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FESEM) measurement shown the as synthesized samples has nanosheet-like shape. Dopant and SDS effect to optical properties observed by UVVis Diffuse Reflectance (UV-Vis DRS) spectroscopy. UV-Vis reflectance spekctrum were analyzed by Kubelka-Munk relation, it is shown the energy gap of samples decreased as the doping concentration increased. Photocatalytic activity of samples were tested by observing the degradation of methyl orange (MO) and methylene blue (MB) as dyes model. Under Ultraviolet irradiation (200 nm) irradiation for 2h, samples were able to degrade MO to 85% and MB to 89%. Main species in photodegradation mechanism tested by adding scavenger. It is shown the effect of electron (e-)> hole (h+)> hydroxyl radical species (OH-).
