Abstract

For most functional oxides, structure-selective synthesis is the key for the task-specific production of nanomaterials. Herein, the low-temperature synthesis in ionic liquids (ILs) is an attractive strategy to produce nanomaterials which are not accessible otherwise is described. In this study, a bench-scale synthesis route toward Co3O4 by applying O3 on the molecular precursor Co2(CO)8 in IL medium is reported. The Co3O4 nanoparticles (NPs) are characterized by infrared (IR) spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). This protocol yields Co3O4 with good crystallinity and narrow size distribution. In addition to conventional materials characterization, a new experimental approach is described in which the material synthesis in situ by IR reflection absorption spectroscopy (IRAS) (in situ IRAS) is followed. The in situ approach provides additional information on the growth mechanisms and kinetics and confirms that O3 treatment of Co2(CO)8 in IL exclusively yields pure Co3O4 without the formation of byproducts or intermediates.
