Functional materials with both exposed highly reactive planes and hollow structures have attracted considerable attentions with respect to improved catalytic activity and enhanced electrochemical energy storage. Herein, we report the synthesis of unusual single-crystal Co3O4 nanocages with highly exposed {110} reactive facets via a one-step solution method. When tested as anode materials in lit...

Metal oxide nanosheets have potential applications in novel nanoelectronics as nanocrystal building blocks. In this work, the devices with a structure of Au/p-type Co3O4 nanosheets/indium tin oxide/glass having bipolar resistive switching characteristics were successfully fabricated. The experimental results demonstrate that the device have stable high/low resistance ratio that is greater than ...

Ni-doped Co3O4 catalysts with various Ni concentrations (0.01, and 0.015 M) were synthesized using a simple, cost-effective hydrothermal route. The samples are denoted as Co3O4-1 Co3O4-2. Structural morphological properties of as-prepared characterized by XRD, FTIR, XPS, SEM, HR-TEM techniques. electrochemical characteristics for the urea oxidation (UOR) on catalyst examined cyclic voltammetry ...

The practical application of lithium–sulfur batteries (LSBs) is severely hindered by the undesirable shuttling lithium polysulfides (LiPSs) and sluggish redox kinetics sulfur species. Herein, a series ultrathin single-atomic tungsten-doped Co3O4 (Wx-Co3O4) nanosheets as catalytic additives in cathode for LSBs are rationally designed synthesized. Benefiting from enhanced activity optimized elect...

The Co3O4 hollow dodecahedron (Co3O4@CN) was prepared by calcining ZIF-67 in N2 and then air atmosphere. In the Co3O4@CN compound material, nanoparticles (Co3O4 NPs) are anchored carbon skeleton, solving aggregation problem of NPs. Because retains porous structure ZIF-67, presence Co2+ Co3+ favors electron transfer between enzyme substrates, it has excellent peroxidase-like (POD-like) activity....

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.

Highly sensitive, stable, low production costs, together with easy maintenance and portability, sensors are ever most demanded nowadays for monitoring quantification of hazardous chemicals/gases in the environment. The utilization one dimensional (1D) metal oxide nano structured chemical/gas environmental is vastly investigated because their superior surface to volume ratio, stability, provide ...
