Abstract

A novel method suitable for the synthesis of the cobalt oxide (Co 3O 4) nanowires at targeted regions is presented in this report. Cobalt (Co) nanobowls synthesized by colloidal crystal directed assembly were transformed into Co 3O 4 nanowiresby a simple heat treatment process. Co nanobowls exhibited a two phase (h.c.p. + f.c.c.) microstructure while single phase microstructure was observed for Co 3O 4nanowires. Ferromagnetic Co nanobowls showed a dependence of coercivity on bowl size while Co 3O 4 exhibited weak ferromagnetic behavior.
