Abstract
Highly uniform cobalt oxide (Co3O4) nanoparticles were synthesized via thermal decomposition of cobalt hydroxy carbonates with particle size around 16 ± 1 nm. The process gives reproducible results in batches of 1–5 kg. The particles show good catalytic activity for the oxidation of oxalic acid and benzaldehyde under mild temperature conditions. The characterization was performed by X-ray diffractometry (XRD), Transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Fourier-transform infrared (FT-IR) spectrum and Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). The XRD measurements show cubic spinel phase and Debye–Scherrer relation was used to measure average particle size. The convenience of the production of catalyst can be exploited for its large-scale production and use in laboratories, R&Ds and industries.
