Effect of solvent, in the sol–gel synthesis of CoAl₂O₄, on the structure and catalytic properties in 1,4-butanediol dehydrocyclization

Abstract

This work presents CoAl2O4 spinel type synthesis by sol-gel method using different solvents, such as water, ethanol, methanol and butanol to dissolve cobalt and aluminum precursors. The structure and optical...
