13. 8 decomposes, nucleating Co NPs and releasing CO gas. After the CO gas disappears, the black solution is refluxed at 185 °C for 20 min. Then the black solution is cooled to room temperature. Particles are precipitated by adding ethanol to the dispersion. Cobalt nanoparticles with 7-nm average diameter are obtained by the gentle destabilization/redispersion procedure with a size distribution of σ∼5%. When increasing the concentration of the oleic acid and triphenylphosphine by a factor of 2, cobalt NPs of about 5 nm can be yielded.
