This paper describes magnetic properties and microwave absorption properties of polymer-protected cobalt nanoparticles. Cobalt nanoparticles were prepared using the thermal decomposition of dicobalt octacarbonyl in ethylene glycol. They were stabilized and dispersed by coexisting with poly(N -vinyl-2-pyrrolidone) (PVP), resulting in an average diameter of 45 nm. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) anal...

Cobalt-doped magnetite (CoxFe3 -xO4) nanoparticles have been produced through the microbial reduction of cobalt-iron oxyhydroxide by the bacterium Geobacter sulfurreducens. The materials produced, as measured by superconducting quantum interference device magnetometry, X-ray magnetic circular dichroism, Mössbauer spectroscopy, etc., show dramatic increases in coercivity with increasing cobalt c...

Spherical and needle-like cobalt nanoparticles incorporated on rice husk silica was synthesized by a simple, rapid and eco-friendly sol-gel route at room temperature. This was achieved by direct mixing of 20 wt.% Co with sodium silicate from rice husk under ambient conditions to form RH-20Co. The cobalt was found to be isomorphously substituted in the silica matrix. A good dispersion of cobalt ...

Bimetallic nanoparticles (to approximately 11 nm diameter) of CuNi and CuCo were prepared by a new synthetic route and the 1:1 atomic ratio of their constituent elements confirmed using STEM-EDS at a single particle level. These nanoparticles, supported on the native oxide layer of a silicon wafer, were studied in situ in a series of reactive gas atmospheres (H2 --> CO or CO/H2 --> O2 --> H2) u...

The preparation of nanostructure type manganese oxide and cobalt oxide materials with the smallest particle size is reported here. The nanorod manganese oxide and cobalt oxide nanotube were prepared via a sol-gel reaction in reverse micelles from KMnO4 and CoCl2 with respectively source at room-temperature. The structure and surface morphology of the obtained manganese oxide were studied by mea...

Abstract This study has reported about the preparation and characterization of Copper oxide (CuO) nanoparticles doped with Cobalt series at low temperature by Sol‐gel method. The techniques like X‐ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM), Raman spectroscopy, defused reflectance spectroscopy (DRS), DC measurement have been used to confirm its phase formation, that is, monoclinic...

For the synthesis of Cobalt Nanoparticles (CoNPs), prudent wet phase reduction process was applied by employing urea as an effective oxidizing agent. The requirement analogous precipitation executed method fulfilled taking advantage sufficiently slow hydrolysis in water at acceptable temperature. experiment carried out mixing cobalt nitrate and (1:2) distilled water. reaction mass then subjecte...

in order to study the effect of vermicompost containing copper oxide and zinc oxide nanoparticles on was beans, in an experiment factorial were done based on a randomized complete block design in three replications. the experiment treatment were as follows: nanoparticles in 4 levels (0, 0.4, 0.8 and 1.2 g/kg weight of substrate), vermicompost in 3 levels (2.5, 5 and 7.5 g/kg-1 weight of substra...
