Thin films of cobalt oxides (CoO and Co3O4) fractal structures have been synthesized by using laser chemical vapor deposition at room temperature and atmospheric pressure. Various factors which affect the density and crystallization of cobalt oxides fractal shapes have been examined. We show that the fractal structures can be described by diffusion-limited aggregation model and discuss a new po...

Hematite (α-Fe2O3) and magnetite (Fe3O4) nanowires with the diameter of about 100 nm and the length of tens of micrometers have been selectively synthesized by a microemulsion-based method in combination of the calcinations under different atmosphere. The effects of the precursors, annealing temperature, and atmosphere on the morphology and the structure of the products have been investigated. ...

Cobalt oxide (Co3O4) nanoparticles were successfully prepared by sol–gel and hydrothermal methods for antibacterial photocatalytic applications with the addition of 1%, 4% nickel (Ni), reduced graphene (rGO). The structural morphological properties obtained XRD, TEM FESEM techniques. showed typical crystallographic planes to cubic phase particles inferior diameter 30 nm. Ni-Co3O4 + rGO nanocrys...
