using hydrothermal process i tried the same procedure, it gives lavender color combination of (pink+blue= lavender). It mean both alpha and beta phases exists. How do i convert only the beta phases? PEG is a surfactant which will dehydrate, it is just added to get nanostructure like hexagonal platelet. I would like to know the reaction between cobalt -PEG formation, its unclear to me . I do not get the pink color- cobalt hydroxide precipitate when using PEG, cobalt acetate, NaOH, NH4OH but instead i get green color?
Thanks for considering my doubts and clarifying
what do u want to make is not clear.
cobalt nano-particle or cobalt oxide.
the pink and lavender colour is an intermediate complex and that needs to be further treated with some reducing agents if you want cobalt metal nano-particles or it needs to be oxidized to get cobalt oxide.
check.
sir my question is polymer chemistry i.e basic reaction between cobalt hydroxide nano-particle formation and surfactants.
