Abstract
Zinc-cobalt oxide spinels, ZnCo2O4, have been prepared by thermal decomposition of three different precursors: (I) coprecipitated zinc-cobalt hydroxide nitrate; (II) coprecipitated zinc-cobalt hydroxide, and (III) zinc-cobalt hydroxide nitrate prepared by isomorphous replacement of the tetrahedrally coordinated Co2+ ions in the double-layered parent cobalt hydroxide nitrate by Zn2+ ions. It has been shown that the cationic distribution in the oxide product is predetermined by the cationic distribution of the precursor. The coprecipitated precursors (I) and (II) decompose to statistical spinels, whereas precursor (III) decomposes to a normal Zn [Co2]O4 spinet.
