Cobalt in Nanotechnology
Cobalt in NanotechnologyHere's another tidbit of interest;
Formation of Hollow Nanocrystals Through the Nanoscale Kirkendall Effect
Result: The researchers created hollow nanocrystals of cobalt, although their process is a general route to synthesize hollow nanostructures of a large number of compounds.
Method: The Kirkendall Effect allows pores to form in .
Materials: Cobalt nanocrystals, oxygen, sulfur, selenium
Intended Uses: Production of hollow nanostructures. For instance, the researchers produced platinum-cobalt oxide yolk-shell nanostructures, which may server as nanoscale reactors in catalytic applications.
Design Axes:
State of the Art: Prototype
Forces / Physical Properties Needed: Kirkendall Effect
Organic Composition Scale: Inorganic
Assembly Method: Top-Down
Assembly Precision: Random
