摘要

Porphyrin functionalized Co3O4 nanoparticles were first prepared via a facile one-pot hydrothermal method. The functionalized nanoparticles were characterized by X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy. Fourier transform infrared spectra revealed the coordination interaction between porphyrin molecules and Co3O4. The high yield of prophyrin functionalized Co3O4 nanoparticles is more than 90%. The phase, morphology and size of as-prepared nanoparticles were dramatically affected by the ratio of solvents, temperature and porphyrins with different substituents, respectively. Experimental results revealed that ethanol and the appropriate temperature were necessary for the formation of single-phase Co3O4. Furthermore, a probable growth mechanism of the formation of porphyrin functionalized Co3O4 nanoparticles was proposed.
