“…[42] Moreover, three peaks werel ocated at 2q = 44.2, 51.5, and 76.08 in the patterns of Co-NSPC-T (T = 550, 700, 850, 1000 8C), which were indexed to the (111), (200), and (220) planeso ff ace-centered cubic (fcc)-phase Co nanoparticles, respectively. [41,43,44] These results illustrated that increasing temperatures facilitated the growth and agglomeration of Co NPs with ascending intensity and declining half-peak width, which was in line with the TEM results. Furthermore, the two weak peaks at 41.5 and 47.48 in the XRD patternso fC o-NSPC-T( T = 550, 700, 850 8C) were assigned to e-structure Co. [45] Owing to the metastabilityo fe-structure Co, no e-structure Co was observed in Co-NSPC-1000.…”
