Synthesis of homo- and hetero-metallic cobalt and zinc nano oxide particles by a calcination process using coordination compounds: their characterization, DFT calculations and capacitance behavioural study.

ABSTRACT: Nano cobalt and porous zinc-cobalt oxide particles were synthesized using the concept of coordination compounds of the type [M(ii)L,L'] (where M(ii) = Co(ii) & Zn(ii) L= 4-hydroxy benzaldehyde and L' = piperazine) and were thoroughly characterized. Because the precursors are coordination compounds possessing specific geometry in the crystal lattice, uniform and appropriately sized homo- and heterometallic nanocrystals of Co₃O₄ and ZnO·Co₃O₄ were obtained after a thermal process. The homo and hetero composite particles were characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX), X-ray diffraction (XRD), FT IR spectroscopy and electrochemistry. The paramagnetic chemical sh
