Cobalt oxides, CoO and Co3O4, were obtained from Co (II) acetate tetrahydrate. The thermal decomposition pathway of the starting product was followed by combining thermogravimetric analysis in situ X-ray thermodiffraction. Under a nitrogen atmosphere, cobalt monoxide with Zn-blende rocksalt polymorphs could be almost as single phases at 330 400 °C, respectively. In addition to these oxyacetate,...

We attempt to meet the general design requirements for high-performance supercapacitor electrodes by combining the strategies of lightweight substrate, porous nanostructure design, and conductivity modification. We fabricate a new type of 3D porous and thin graphite foams (GF) and use as the light and conductive substrates for the growth of metal oxide core/shell nanowire arrays to form integra...

To realize the various functionalities and maximize the structural advantages, hollow particles with multiple compositions and complex structures are highly desirable. However, the development of a convenient and scalable method for the synthesis of such multi-compositionally complex hollow structures remains a big challenge. Herein, we report an efficient and universal strategy to fabricate a ...

Several water-soluble cobalt(III) complexes were employed as precursors to form cobalt oxide nanostructures. These complexes were incorporated into polyelectrolyte multilayers precoated onto colloidal particles, followed by calcination. Cobalt complexes with strong intermolecular hydrogen bonding form one-dimensional Co3O4 nanotube structures. Short Co3O4 nanotubes with defects and broken spher...

For the first time, cobalt oxide films that are highly protective against localized corrosion and depicting a wide variety of bright and uniform colors due to light interference, have been successfully electrogenerated on polycrystalline cobalt disk electrodes under potentiostatic polarization in a mild aqueous bicarbonate medium. Open circuit potential measurements have shown the formation of ...

Co3O4 catalysts were prepared via carbonate precipitation at different pH, characterized using TG/DTA, FTIR, XRD, Raman, N2 adsorption and TPR techniques, tested in the total oxidation of toluene or propane. The pH may affect composition cobalt oxide precursors as well physicochemical properties performance catalysts. By controlling 9.5, a catalyst with smallest crystalline size, largest surfac...

This work reports the remarkable effect of reversible gas molecular sieving for high temperature gas separation from cobalt doped ethoxy polysiloxane (CoES40) membranes. This effect stemmed from alternating the reducing and oxidising (redox) state of the cobalt particles embedded in the ES40 matrix. The reduced membranes gave the best H2 permeances of 1 × 10(-6) mol m(-2) s(-1) Pa(-1) and H2/N2...

A general corrosion strategy was employed for the straightforward fabrication of a variety of metal oxide nanostructures, such as Fe3O4 octahedra, Co3O4 nanoplates, nanoporous TiO2, and Mn3O4 octahedra.

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...
