CoAl2O4 nanoparticles were prepared by a Pechini method using chelating agent citric acid. CoAl2O4 nanoparticles were synthesized at different calcination temperatures of 600–900°C. The crystalline spinel cubic phase was confirmed by X-ray diffraction results. High-resolution scanning electron micro...
