In this study, CoCu alloy nanoparticles-incorporated carbon nanofibers are introduced as effective non precious electrocatalyst for methanol oxidation in alkaline medium. The introduced electrocatalyst has been synthesized by simple and effective process; electrospinning. Typically, calcination, in nitrogen atmosphere, of electrospun nanofibers composed of cobalt acetate, copper acetate and pol...

Cobalt ferrite nanoparticles were synthesized with coprecipitation or with the hydrothermal method. Stable water suspensions were prepared from the as-synthesized nanoparticles, with the addition of citric acid as a surfactant, and then used for the preparation of deposits under an applied magnetic field. The morphology of the cobalt ferrite nanoparticles was investigated with a transmission el...

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...

A magnetic field is successfully utilized to induce the fabrication of size controllable one-dimensional (1-D) supercrystals which are composed of a highly crystalline assembly of fcc-packed cobalt nanoparticles; the anisotropy associated supercrystal magnetism is enhanced with four times higher coercivity than that of randomly aggregated nanoparticles.

Cobalt oxide (Co3O4) nanorods were prepared by a simple co-precipitation method using ethanol solution of cobalt nitrate as precursor and cetyl trimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) as surfactant. Morphological properties of the nanoparticles were characterized. XRD measurement exhibited the structure of Co3O4 nanocrystals for annealed samples. The SEM ima...

Synthesis, identification and thermal behavior studies of nanoparticles cobalt (II) bromide has been studied in this research. Cobalt (II) bromide was synthesized by planetary high-energy ball mill. The general formula of this compound is CoBr2.6H2O. The synthesized nanoparticles were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and also Size and structure of s...

new selective coating materials are developed and used in advanced solar collector and absorber designs with improved efficiency. cobalt and copper sulfides nanoparticles are high interest for absorbers of solar thermal collectors due to their optical properties and high absorptance in the solar wavelength range (> 96%). in the present work, cobalt and copper sulfides nanoparticles were synthes...

A series of small and well defined cobalt nanoparticles were synthesized by the chemical reduction of cobalt salts in water using NaBH4 as a reducing agent and using various polymeric stabilizers. The obtained nanocatalysts of similar mean diameters (ca. 2.6 nm) were fully characterized and tested in the aqueous phase Fischer-Tropsch Synthesis (AFTS). Interestingly, the nature and structure of ...
