Synthesis, Characterization and Thermal Behavior Studies of Nanoparticles Cobalt (II) Chloride

Synthesis, characterization, and thermal behavior of nanoparticles Cobalt(II) chloride has been investigated in this work. Cobalt (II) chloride was synthesized by using of mill device. The general formula of this compound is MCl2 (M = Co). The synthesized nanoparticles were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and the size and structure of synthesized nanoparticles has been analyzed by x-ray diffraction (XRD). Morphology of surface and structure of synthesized nanoparticles has been done by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). This compound has many applications in mineral synthesis as a catalyst. The nano particles of CoCl2 with approximate size of 41 nm synthesized and we can see them with porous and spongy morphology in SEM pictures. Thermal behavior of this nanoparticles considered by using of DTA /TGA thermal analysis device.
