This method provides a simple, low cost, and large-scale route to produce β-cobalt hydroxide nanowires with an average diameter of 5 nm and a length of ca. 10 μm, which show a predominant well-crystalline hexagonal brucite-like phase. Their thermal decomposition produced highly uniform nanowires of cobalt oxide (Co3O4) under temperature 500 °C in the presence of oxygen gas. The produced cobalt oxide was characterized by X-ray diffraction, transmission electronic microscopy, and selected-area electron diffraction. The results indicated that cobalt oxide nanowires with an average diameter of 10 nm and a length of ca. 600 nm have been formed, which show a predominant well-crystalline cubic face-centered like phase.  ISSN : 0022-3697  Journal Name : Journal of Physics and Chemistry of Solids  Volume : 72  Issue Number : 7  Publishing Year : 1432 AH 2011 AD  Article Type : Article  Added Date : Wednesday, February 8, 2012  Researchers Researcher Name (Arabic) Researcher Name (English) Researcher Type Dr Grade Email وليد السيد محمود Mahmoud, Waleed E Researcher Doctorate w_e_mahmoud@yahoo.com فيصل عبدالعزيز العقل Al-Agel, Faisal A Researcher Doctorate fagel@kau.edu.sa Files File Name Type Description  32226.pdf pdf Abstract Back To Researches Page
