Microwave hydrothermal method is employed to synthesize Co 3 O 4 nanocrystals. Co ( OH )2 from reaction of C 4 H 6 CoO 4·4 H 2 O with NaOH aqueous solution is used as starting material. With a fixed hold time of an hour, the results show that high quality Co 3 O 4 nanocrystals can be synthesized at 200 °C. Decrease of the hold temperature leads to deteriorated crystallinity and incomplete reaction.

The synthesis and characterization of Co,Al Layered Double Hydroxides (LDHs) containing carbonate is reported. The solids have been submitted to several thermal treatments, hydrothermal and microwave-hydrothermal, modifying both the treatment time and temperature, with the main aim of studying their influence on the crystallinity of the solids and on the stabilization of divalent cobalt oxidation state. The results show that whichever the temperature and time used the only phase detected was the hydrotalcite, and that the cobalt cations keep the divalent oxidation state.

AbstractThe pH of the reaction media is a critical factor in the formation of new vanadium oxides with the tetramethylammonium (TMA) ion via the conventional hydrothermal method. New vanadium oxides; TMAV3O7, Li0.6V2−δO4−δ·H2O and Li0.6V2−δO4−δ, TMAV4O10, and two more new vanadium phases with d spacings of 11.5Å and 19.1Å are formed as the pH is varied with acetic acid. The synthesis and characterization of TMAV3O7, a new vanadium oxide with tetramethylammonium ions residing between its layers is discussed. The intercalation of alkylamines, DMSO, and water into Li0.6V2−δO4−δ·H2O is described. Microwave hydrothermal synthesis is a new and alternate soft chemistry technique used to accelerate the synthesis of TMAV4O10. This method also aided in the formation of a new cluster compound, [Li(H2O)4]2TMA(V10O28)·4H2O.
