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. © 2016 Author(s). publisher: American Institute of Physics Inc. date: 2016 type: Conference or Workshop Item type: PeerReviewed identifier: Khe, C.S. and Aziz, A. and Lockman, Z. and Rajalingam, S. and Merican, Z. and Vasant, P.
