Nanostructured hexagonal cobalt oxide plates and their electrochemical properties

Hexagonal Co3O4 plates have been synthesized using a simple solvothermal method by tuning the NaOH concentration and initial Co2+ ion sources. The change in the morphology of Co3O4 is NaOH concentration and initial Co2+ ion sources dependent. The electrochemical studies suggest that the hexagonal Co3O4 plate is a better material.232
