Hierarchical and well-defined cobalt sulfide with flower-like, cube-like, ball-like, and surface hollowed-out nanostructures were successfully prepared by a facile one-pot hydrothermal synthesis approach, employing Co(NO(3))(2)·6H(2)O as a cobalt precursor and thiourea as a sulfur source. The morphologies of these structures can be easily controlled by simply adjusting the molar ratio of reacta...

Highly active and robust eletcrocatalysts based on earth-abundant elements are desirable to generate hydrogen and oxygen as fuels from water sustainably to replace noble metal materials. Here we report an approach to synthesize porous hybrid nanostructures combining amorphous nickel-cobalt complexes with 1T phase molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) via hydrazine-induced phase transformation for water s...

Polyaniline-cobalt nanocomposites were synthesized bysalt of cobalt with ammonium persulphate as an oxidizing agent and aniline.This paper reports on hydrothermal technique using for synthesis and size control of cobalt nanoparticles in the composite bridge is aniline. Electrical conductivity of polyaniline alone in acidic environments, without and with cobalt nanoparticles measured.Increasing ...

in this research, a single-stage low-temperature hydrothermal synthesis route was successfully developed for preparation of iron disulfide. the prepared powder was characterized by x-ray diffraction (xrd) and scanning electron microscopy (sem). these analyses showed that nanoparticles were well crystallized, pyrite was the main product and the shape of crystals was nanorod. also, the influences...

in the past decades, many methods have been developed to synthesize zero- dimensional  nanoparticles, quasi–one–dimensional (1d) cuo nanostructures, such as metal organic deposition technique,  microwave irradiation, sol-gel-like dip  technique, reverse micelle-assisted route, chemical method, and simple template free solution route. among those synthesis methods, hydrothermal and chemical reac...
