Surfactant assisted reactive crystallization of cobalt oxide nanoparticles in a tubular microreactor: effects of precursor concentrations and type of surfactants

The particle size distributions in CTAB and Tween-80 assisted reactive crystallization of CoO nanoparticles using CoCl 2 ·6H 2 O and NaBH 4 at two molar ratios in a tubular microreactor were investigated for establishing suitability of surfactants.
