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...

Nano oxides of Manganese Nickel and Cobalt Nickel were synthesized by chemical coprecipitation method from the reaction of respective metal sulfides of manganese, nickel, cobalt and sodium carbonate using ethylene diamene tetra acetic acid as an effective capping agent. The carbonate precursors were heated at different temperatures so as to form their oxides. Through the X-ray line broadening t...

Sphere-like shaped cobalt oxide nanoparticles (Co3O4) were synthesized by a simple wet chemical method using cobalt chloride as precursor and cetyl trimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) as surfactant. Their structural and surface morphologial properties were characterized by high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) and X-ray diffra...

The selection and assembly of materials are central issues in the development of smaller, more flexible batteries. Cobalt oxide has shown excellent electrochemical cycling properties and is thus under consideration as an electrode for advanced lithium batteries. We used viruses to synthesize and assemble nanowires of cobalt oxide at room temperature. By incorporating gold-binding peptides into ...

The morphology and magnetic properties of diblock copolymer templated ferrimagnetic cobalt oxide nanoparticles are reported. Ring opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP) was used to synthesize a novel cobalt diblock copolymer, where cobalt is directly attached to the polymer chain. Gel permeation chromatography (GPC) was performed to determine molecular weight distribution. Transmission electr...

cobalt oxide (co3o4) nanoparticleshave been synthesized by hydrothermal method using mixture of cobalt(ii)chloride, triton x-100 and koh in an autoclave at 180 °c for 6 h followed by heating at 400 ºc for 3 h in air. the product have been characterized by fourier transform infrared (ft-ir), uv-vis spectroscopy, powder x-ray diffraction (xrd), scanning electron microscopy (sem) and transmission ...

Cobalt Oxide/ Zinc Oxide nanocomposite was synthesized by dropwise addition ofCo(NO)3.6H2O and Zn(NO3)2.4H2O solutions to KOH solution at different temperatures followed bycalcination at 300ºC for 4 h. The morphology and structure of nanoparticles and the influence oftemperature on particle size were studied using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-RayDiffraction (XRD). Minimum particle s...

Cobalt oxides, such as Co3O4 and CoO, have received increased attention as potential anode materials for rechargeable lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) owing to their high theoretical capacity. Nanostructure engineering has been demonstrated as an effective approach to improve the electrochemical performance of electrode materials for LIBs. In this review, we summarize recent development in the rati...

A class of novel nickel cobalt oxide hollow nanosponges were synthesized through a sodium borohydride reduction strategy. Due to their porous and hollow nanostructures, and synergetic effects between their components, the optimized nickel cobalt oxide nanosponges exhibited excellent catalytic activity towards oxygen evolution reaction.
