This work is devoted to the production of microparticles via pulsed laser ablation from a solid cobalt target immersed in three different solutions of distilled water as well as in ethanol and in acetone, to study the effect of liquid media on the physical properties and structure of particles. The samples were characterized using XRD, SEM and particle size analysis. More than simply Co particles have resulted in each three liquid media, CoO particles were produced only in acetone, whereas Co3O4 particles were predominantly produced in water and ethanol.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
