Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="main" xml:lang="en"> <title>Abstract</title> <p>ZnO/Co₃O₄ porous nanocomposites were successfully fabricated by the thermal decomposition of Prussian Blue analogue (PBA) Zn₃[Co(CN)₆]₂ nanospheres obtained at room temperature. Interestingly, ZnO/Co₃O₄ porous nanocomposites exhibit room‐temperature ferromagnetism. Moreover, the ZnO/Co₃O₄ porous nanocomposites show good catalytic activity for CO oxidation, and the CO conversion rate reaches 100 % at 250 °C. It is suggested that the synergistic effect of each component, relative high surface area (32 m² g⁻¹) and porous structure lead to the promising catalytic properties.</p> </abstract>
