Controlled Synthesis of Co3O4Nanoparticles through Oriented Aggregation

He, Tao, Chen, Dairong, Jiao, Xiuling·2004·Chemistry of Materials

Abstract

Monodispersed 5-nm Co 3 O 4 nanocrystals are prepared by thermal decomposition, in long carbon chain alcohols, of the intermediate product Co(NO 3 ) 2 ·7C 6 H 13 OH, which is first obtained through the reaction of Co(NO 3 ) 2 ·6H 2 O with n -hexanol. A designed addition of water into the reaction system causes an oriented aggregation of the primary nanocrystals resulting in spherical mesoporous-like nanostructures from tens to several hundred nanometers. IR, XRD, UV−visible, and 1 H NMR analysis techniques are applied to determine the intermediate product, and the thermal-decomposition mechanism is identified through gas chromatography-mass spectrum analysis. XRD, TEM, HRTEM, SAED, and TG/MS are used to characterize the oriented aggregating nanostructures. The binder effect of water molecules on the oriented aggregation of the building blocks and the capping effect of the alcohols on the particle surface during the process are discussed.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
