In the synthesis, the molar ratio of N2H4 to Co2+was varied from 2.5 to 10. At the beginning with low molar ratio, spherical microspheres were formed. When the molar ratio was increased to 5 and above, final morphology of the cobalt nanomaterials became raspberry-like. This might be attributed to the absorption of the hydrazine complex of cobalt nanoparticles at certain facets during their growth stage and later self-assembled into the raspberry shaped microparticles. The plausible formation mechanism were proposed. {\^A}{\copyright} 2016 Author(s).}, url = {https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-85005995878&doi=10.1063\%2f1.4968103&partnerID=40&md5=2a6339864545dad3aff52db28375df6b} }
