要旨

8 nm Co nanoparticles with various crystalline structures called polymorphs were produced using different synthetic procedures, such as using reverse micelles, the thermal decomposition of organometallics approach or the hot injection process. These 8 nm Co nanoparticles differing by their crystalline structures are exposed to oxygen at elevated temperature. The fcc Co polycrystalline nanoparticles produce either Co–CoO yolk–shell or CoO hollow structures whereas amorphous Co nanoparticles produce Co–CoO core–shell nanoparticles. Furthermore, single domains with either hcp or ε crystalline structure behave differently upon oxygen diffusion. Co–CoO nanoparticles were produced from the hcp phase while CoO hollow nanoparticles were the product for ε-phase Co nanocrystals.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
