Abstract

Nanocrystalline Co₃O₄ particles were successfully synthesized by hydrothermal method under pulsed magnetic field. The effect of magnetic field and aging time on the morphology and microstructure were examined. Different morphologies were observed from SEM images for the samples fabricated with or without pulsed magnetic field. The pulsed magnetic field made Co₃O₄ sphere compact and more smooth surface. The hollow sphere morphology and refined grain of Co₃O₄ were formed after aging process.
