The synthesis of regular octahedron cobalt oxide microcrystals for the application of battery material in supercritical carbon dioxide system was studied. Regular octahedron microcrystals of cobalt oxide with a size about 10 μm were prepared at 450 ℃ in a closed vessel consisting of 1.0 g of cobalt acetate powder and 12.0 g of dry ice. The as-obtained particles were charterized by XRD, XPS, SEM, TEM and Raman spectroscopy techniques. The XRD and Raman spectroscopy results indicate that the crystal structures of the particles (the cobalt oxide microcrystals) are inerratic. SEM and TEM results reveal that the morphology of cobalt oxide microcrystals appear to be the regular octahedron enclosed by eight {111} facets. It is found that the supercritical carbon dioxide system is a full condition to the synthesis of regular octahedron cobalt oxide. The size of cobalt oxide microcrystals increases with reaction time and the morphology is temperature dependent. The possible growth mechanism of regular octahedron cobalt oxide microcrystals was discussed based on the pyrolysis of cobalt (Ⅲ) acetate, crystallization of cobalt oxide and Slowly Orientational Growth (SOG) due to anisotropy in supercritical carbon dioxide environment at reaction temperatures. The charge/discharge properties of regular octahedron microcrystals of cobalt oxide used as battery material were also characterized and discussed.
