Shape control of nanocrystals has become a significant subject in materials science. In this work, we describe a convenient way to achieve morphology-controllable synthesis of CoO nanocrystals including octahedrons and spheres as well as LiCoO sub(2) polyhedrons and spheres. In particular, we explai...
