fore, the balance of these reasons led to the regular of this catalytic
reaction.

Cellular-like Co3O4 nanocrystals were successfully prepared via
a seeded method by high temperature disposal for tailored physi-
cal properties. By increasing the disposal temperature, Co(OH)2
seeds can be efficiently transformed to Co3O4 nanocrystals. Co3O4
nanocrystals showed a monotonically lattice expansion with parti-
cle size reduction, which can be well-defined as a function of par-
ticle sizes as well as valence state of cobalt ions. As the
consequence of lattice expansion of Co3O4 nanocrystals, the m1
and m2 modes of Co3O4 in infrared spectra showed systematic red
shift. Co3O4 nanocrystals prepared at 300 °C displayed highest cat-
alytic property for HCHO conversion, which can be explained by
the balance of surface absorbed OH groups, BET surface area and
charge state of cobalt ions. This work reported here may give a can-
didate for further studies of low dimensional physics as well as for
applications in various fields of nanotechnology.
