“…The observed XRD peaks around at 2θ are 19.68°, 31.89°, 37.7°, 39.29°, 45.5°, 55.89° and 59.11°, corresponding to (111), (220), (311), (222), (400), (422) and (511) are crystal planes of cubic Co 3 O 4 , respectively. The XRD peaks are in good agreement with the JCPDS data (JCPDS 09–0 18) [ 69 , 70 ]. In addition, it was observed that the intensity of the peaks corresponding to the (111), (222), (422), and (511) planes were decreased, while the peaks corresponding to the (220) and (311) increased again.…”
