Abstract: The zinc-cobalt-oxide spinel was obtained by the calcination of the molecular precursor at different temperature,namely,zinc cobalt oxalate ZnCo2(C2O4)3·4H2O prepared by novel coprecipitation method using oxalic acid as precipitator and ethanol as solvent.The thermal weight loss analysis and kinetics analysis of the decomposition process of the precursor were performed on a Thermogravimetry analyzer(TGA) and Differential scanning calorimeter(DSC).The results showed that the weight loss occurs only two ste...
