The invention discloses a preparation method of a
cobalt nanosphere. The preparation method comprises the following steps: 1) preparing a solution A by dissolving
cobalt chloride hexahydrate and a surfactant in mixed liquor of deionized water and absolute ethyl
alcohol; preparing a solution B by dissolving
sodium hydroxide in deionized water; preparing a solution C by dissolving
sodium borohydride in deionized water; 2) mixing the solution A, the solution B with the solution C to be a reaction solution, and transferring the reaction solution to a
high pressure autoclave, and performing a
hydrothermal reaction to obtain the
cobalt nanosphere, wherein through controlling the
reaction conditions, the
diameter of the cobalt nanosphere can be controlled within 250-900 nm. The preparation method has the characteristics of easiness in obtaining of
raw material, simple equipment, low cost, simplicity in operation, high efficiency, quickness and the like. The prepared cobalt nanosphere has the advantages of normalized shape, uniform grain
diameter, good dispersibility, controllable size,
high productivity, good stability, and suitability for large-scale industrial production. The cobalt nanometer material can be widely applied to the fields of magnetic recording material, magnetic fluid, permanent magnets, wave-absorbing material, hard
alloy, catalytic material, ceramics, solar cells and the like.
