Cobalt oxide (Co3O4) nanoparticles were synthesized by a simple surfactant-assisted method. The influence of reaction parameters such as different cobalt precursors, amount of surfactant (PVP) added, different ratio of reaction medium and NaOH concentration was investigated via several characterizat...
