A novel method suitable for the synthesis of the cobalt oxide (Co 3 O 4 ) nanowires at targeted regions is presented in this report. Cobalt (Co) nanobowls synthesized by colloidal crystal directed assembly were transformed into Co 3 O 4 nanowires by a simple heat treatment process. Co nanobowls exhibited a two phase (h.c.p. + f.c.c.) microstructure while single phase microstructure was observed for Co 3 O 4 nanowires. Ferromagnetic Co nanobowls showed a dependence of coercivity on bowl size while Co 3 O 4 exhibited weak ferromagnetic behavior.
