In this work we synthesized two inverse kinds of cobalt and zinc oxide nanocomposites (CoO/ZnO and Zn1−xCoxO/Co1−yZnyO) and compared methodologistic features observed from the syntheses. The binary oxide system chosen herein is because divalent cobalt and zinc have very similar ion radii, and they interdiffuse easily when forming doped structures. A “two-pot” process was devised for the CoO/ZnO composites, in which mesocrystalline cores of CoO were formed first, followed by introduction of an overlayer of ZnO nanoparticles to the core surfaces. In contrast, a “one-pot” process was developed for the Zn1−xCoxO/Co1−yZnyO composites. In particular, hollow and/or multishelled Zn1−xCoxO cores (in wurtzite phase) serve as a support for the nanospheres of Co1−yZnyO (in rock-salt phase) in this latter method. Our findings indicate that while “multi-pot” synthesis is a prevailing methodology for composite nanoparticles, simpler “one-pot” synthesis can be an effective approach for preparation of more complex nanocom...
