Cobalt oxide nanoparticles have recently been utilized in various applications such as catalysis, gas sensing, electrochromic films, supercapacitors and magnetic materials. Here-in, we report the synthesis cobalt oxide nanoparticles via hydrothermal methods and their subsequent characterization by various techniques.  Solvent, cobalt precursor, solution pH, and reaction temperatures as well as reaction times were varied with a view of controlling the size, morphology and properties of the nanoparticles. The nanoparticles were further characterized by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (EDS), X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS), X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Ultraviolet-Visible (UV-Vis) Spectrophotometry, Superconducting Quantum Interference Device (SQUID) Magnetometry and    Raman Spectroscopy. The properties and characteristics of the nanoparticles prepared at these conditions will be discussed in depth.
