Abstract
Spherical nanosized cobalt powder with an average size of 150-400 nm was successfully prepared at room temperature from cobalt sulfate heptahydrate (). Wet chemical reduction method was adopted to synthesize nano cobalt powder and hypophosphorous acid () was used as reduction agent. Both the HCP and the FCC Co phase were developed while concentration ranged from 0.7 M to 1.1 M. Secondary phase such as and were also observed. Peaks for the crystalline Co phase having HCP and FCC structure crystallized as increasing the concentration of , indicating that the amount of reduction agent was enough to reduce . Consequently, a homogeneous Co phase could be developed without second phase when the ratio exceeded 7.
