The preparation of polystyrene-coated cobalt oxide nanowires is reported via the colloidal polymerization of polymer-coated ferromagnetic cobalt nanoparticles (PS-CoNPs). Using a combination of dipolar nanoparticle assembly and a solution oxidation of preorganized metallic colloids, interconnected nanoparticles of cobalt oxide spanning micrometers in length were prepared, The colloidal polymerization of PS-CoNPs into cobalt oxide (CoO and Co3O4) nanowires was achieved by bubbling O-2 into PS-CoNP dispersions in 1,2-dichlorobenzene at 175 degrees C. Calcination of thin films of PS-coated cobalt oxide nanowires afforded Co3O4 metal oxide materials. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) revealed the formation of interconnected nanoparticles; of cobalt oxide with hollow inclusions, arising from a combination of dipolar assembly of PS-CoNPs and the nanos(ale Kirkendall effect in the oxidation reaction. Using a wide range of spectroscopic and electrochemical characterization techniques, we demonstrate that cobalt oxide nanowires prepared via this novel methodology were electroactive with potential applications as nanostructured electrodes for energy storage.
