title = "Production of nano-sized Co3O4 by pyrolysis of organic extracts",
abstract = "The most promising application field of materials based on nano-sized Co3O4 is catalysis. The method of production is one of the factors, which greatly affects the catalytic activity of Co3O4 catalysts. The aim of this research is to study possibilities of a new promising extractive-pyrolytic method (EPM) for the production of Co3O4 nanopowders and silica- and ceria-supported Co3O4 nanocomposites. Solutions of cobalt hexanoate in hexanoic acid and trioctylammonium tetrachlorocobaltate in toluene preliminary produced by solvent extraction were used as precursors. The precursors' thermal stability, phase composition, morphology and the magnetic properties of the final products of pyrolysis were studied. The performed investigations have shown that the mean size of the Co3O4 crystallites in the materials produced by the EPM varies from amorphous to 55 nm due to the production conditions.",
