P. Chartier et al., SPECIFIC SURFACE-AREA OF SPINEL OXIDES BY ZN2-ION ADSORPTION (ZIA) - CASE OF DRY AND HYDROUS CO3O4 - FEASIBILITY AND LIMITATION(), Electrochimica acta, 42(23-24), 1997, pp. 3471-3475
Co3O4 powders prepared by thermal decomposition of nitrate (TDN) and b
y precipitation in aqueous solution (PAS) have been investigated in re
lation with the zinc-ion adsorption (ZIA) method of in situ measuremen
t of specific areas at the solid-liquid interface. The ZIA method seem
s feasible with dry TDN powders, while high solubility and cation exch
anges hinder the method with hydrous PAS powders. The ZIA surface area
s of dry Co3O4 are approximately 1/2 the BET surface areas.
