Abstract: Hexagonal-like Co microflakes with an average diameter of 2  μm and a thickness of 80 nm were successfully synthesized by reduction of cobalt nitrate in a polyol/ethylenediamine mixed medium via a solvothermal process in the presence of PVP and dodecanethiol as the structure-directing agents. The products were characterized by XRD, EDX, SEM, TEM, HRTEM and SQUID. The results show that Co microflake exhibits well-crystalline hexagonal close-packed(hcp) phase and is self-assembled to chain-like structure and is composed of ultrathin ribbon-like nanostructure with a thickness of 10 nm. This material exhibits a ferromagnetic behavior with a saturation magnetization of 126.6 emu/g, a remnant magnetization of 13.7  emu/g, and a coercivity of 1.301×10.4 A/m.

Key words: Solvothermal, Hexagonal microflake, chain-like structure, ferromagnetic
