Stable cobalt nanoparticles passivated with oleic acid and triphenylphosphine

چکیده
Monodisperse cobalt nanoparticles (NPs) are synthesized via a high-temperature thermal decomposition method in the presence of oleic acid and triphenylphosphine. The as-synthesized NPs are stable against further deep oxidation when they are kept in heptane (C7H16). Time-dependent x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy studies indicate that the oxidation of the as-synthesized cobalt NPs by air is slow and the valence change of cobalt from the Co NP sample kept in heptane under air is not observed for 120 days. The cobalt NPs have β-manganese type structure (also called ε-cobalt). Annealing the NPs at 500 ◦C under Ar (95%) + H2 (5%) converts these particles from ε-Co to fcc-Co. Two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) self-assembled superlattices of passivated cobalt NPs are formed by slow evaporation of the carrier solvent.

Previous studies on hydroformylation of methyl oleate with rhodium and triphenylphosphine or triphenylphosphite have led to a laboratory process for recycling the precious metal catalyst. Another catalyst recycling process has now been studied as the basis for converting commercially available oleic acid into the enol ether of methyl formylstearate. The process involves one-step esterification-...

Nanoparticles of nickel substituted cobalt ferrite (Nix Co1-xFe2 O4 : 0£ X£ 1) have been synthesized by co-precipitation method. Triton x-100 and oleic acid as surfactants were used. Particles size as estimated by the full width half maximum (FWHM) of the strongest X-ray diffraction (XRD) peak were found 17 and 21nm. Their morphology structure have been determined by scanning electron microscop...
متن کاملThe optical and magnetic properties of CoO and Co nanocrystals prepared by a facile technique.
CoO and Co nanocrystals with cubic crystal structures were prepared by thermal decomposition of cobalt(II) acetate tetrahydrate in a mixture of oleylamine and oleic acid under the protection of nitrogen gas at 300 °C for 2 h. The products of CoO or Co nanocrystals are determined by the relative amount of oleylamine due to its reducibility. The sizes and shapes of CoO or Co can be controlled by ...
