Effects of Co3O4 nanocatalyst morphology on CO oxidation: Synthesis process map and catalytic activity

doi:10.1016/S1872-2067(16)62460-9

Abstract

Abstract:

This study focuses on drawing a hydrothermal synthesis process map for Co₃O₄ nanoparticles with various morphologies and investigating the effects of Co₃O₄ nanocatalyst morphology on CO oxidation. A series of cobalt-hydroxide-carbonate nanoparticles with various morphologies (i.e., nanorods, nanosheets, and nanocubes) were successfully synthesized, and Co₃O₄ nanoparticles were obtained by thermal decomposition of the cobalt-hydroxide-carbonate precursors. The results suggest that the cobalt source is a key factor for controlling the morphology of cobalt-hydroxide-carbonate at relatively low hydrothermal temperatures (≤ 140 ℃). Nanorods can be synthesized in CoCl₂ solution, while Co(NO₃)₂solution promotes the formation of nanosheets. Further increasing the synthesis temperature (higher than 140 ℃) results in the formation of nanocubes in either Co(NO₃)₂or CoCl₂ solution. The reaction time only affects the size of the obtained nanoparticles. The presence of CTAB could improve the uniformity and dispersion of particles. Co₃O₄ nanosheets showed much higher catalytic activity for CO oxidation than nanorods and nanocubes because it has more abundant Co³⁺ on the surface, much higher reducibility, and better oxygen desorption capacity.

Key words: Cobalt oxide nanocatalyst, Synthesis process map, Morphology effect, Catalytic activity, Carbon monoxide oxidation
