Quick precipitation method is simple and efficient to obtain Cobalt oxide (Co 3 O 4 ) nanoparticles. The prepared cobalt oxide was characterized by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern confirmed the formation of single phase Co 3 O 4 . Scanning electron microscope (SEM) image indicates the sphere like morphology and its grain size will be in the range of 50-100nm.UV-DRS optical property of Co 3 O 4 shows a band gap in the energy range of 3.50eV. Vibrating Sample Magnetometer (VSM) for the analysis of Co 3 O 4 sample behave as a soft ferromagnetic material.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
