Abstract

Monometallic Co62+Co23+(OH)-16 (NO3)-2·nH2O hydrotalcite-like compound was prepared by a careful precipitation from an aqueous solution of Co(NO3)2·6H2O in air atmosphere, followed by microwave irradiation. As comparison, an additional sample was prepared without microwave irradiation, employing aging in the crystallization step. Thermal evolution was studied by X-ray diffraction (XRD), FTIR, DTA/TGA and nitrogen physisorption. The microwaved sample (monometallic hydrotalcite) was stable up to 200 °C. The nonirradiated sample only showed the Co3O4 spinel phase.
