چکیده

Porous Co3O4 nanonetworks (NNWs), converted from precursor CoOOH nanosheets, have been synthesized via a controllable chemical reaction route followed by calcination at 400 °C in air. The morphologies and microstructures of the precursor nanosheets and the final products were characterized by high-resolution transmission electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction, respectively. The growth mechanism of CoOOH nanosheets and the structural transformation processes of NNWs were investigated in detail. Significantly, the porous Co3O4 NNW based sensor showed an enhanced response to toluene gas at low concentration, which was mainly due to its porous neck-connected networks.

Facile synthesis of a mesoporous Co3O4 network for Li-storage via thermal decomposition of an amorphous metal complex.

A facile strategy is developed for mass fabrication of porous Co3O4 networks via the thermal decomposition of an amorphous cobalt-based complex. At a low mass loading, the achieved porous Co3O4 network exhibits excellent performance for lithium storage, which has a high capacity of 587 mA h g(-1) after 500 cycles at a current density of 1000 mA g(-1).

A Study of Catalytic Performance of Co3O4 and Cu-Co Nano Metal Oxides in Combustion of Aromatics

Two Cu-Co and Co3O4 oxides were synthesized by the conventional sol-gel auto-combustion and their physical-chemical properties were characterized by XRD, FTIR, SEM, TPR and XPS. The XRD results indicated that copper-cobalt oxide appeared in a mixture form of Cu0.15Co2.85O4 spinel and CuO phases, whereas the cobalt oxide exhibited in the pure form of Co3O4 spinel. The FTIR approved the formation...

Scalable One-pot Bacteria-templating Synthesis Route toward Hierarchical, Porous-Co3O4 Superstructures for Supercapacitor Electrodes

Template-driven strategy has been widely used to synthesize inorganic nano/micro materials. Here, we used a bottom-up controlled synthesis route to develop a powerful solution-based method of fabricating three-dimensional (3D), hierarchical, porous-Co3O4 superstructures that exhibit the morphology of flower-like microspheres (hereafter, RT-Co3O4). The gram-scale RT-Co3O4 was facilely prepared u...

Facile synthesis of monodisperse porous Co3O4 microspheres with superior ethanol sensing properties.

A solvothermal method was developed to prepare on a large scale monodisperse porous β-Co(OH)(2) microspheres consisting of nanoplatelets. Co(3)O(4) microspheres with porous platelets were obtained via subsequent thermal decomposition. These Co(3)O(4) microspheres show much higher ethanol sensitivity and selectivity at a relatively low temperature (135 °C) compared with those of commercial Co(3)...

Fabrication of porous Co3O4 nanowires with high CO sensing performance at a low operating temperature.

The porous Co3O4 nanowires were fabricated using a fluoride anion-assisted hydrothermal and controlled annealing route. The nanowires showed superior CO gas-sensing performances, such as high selectivity against CO and optimal sensing activity at a relatively low operating temperature (Top ≤ 100 °C). Such properties were ascribed to fluoride doping and porous nanowire structure.
