METAL-CONTAINING NANOCOMPOSITES BASED ON THE SALTS OF SATURATED COBALT(II) MONOCARBOXYL ACIDS

Resumo

Cobalt(II) salts are synthesized from saturated monocarboxylic acids: formic, butyric, valerianic, caproic, enanthic, and caprylic acids. The resulting compounds are characterized by elemental analysis, IR spectroscopy, thermogravimetry, and differential scanning calorimetry. As a result of the thermal decomposition of the synthesized carboxylates and cobalt acetate, cobalt-containing nanocomposites are obtained. The obtained nanocomposites are studied by elemental analysis, IR spectroscopy, scanning and transmission electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, and X-ray phase analysis. Magnetic studies of the obtained nanocomposites are carried out.
