Cubically shaped cobalt oxide nanoparticle catalysts were used for the first time to investigate the melting of the nanoparticle catalysts responsible for the synthesis of silica nanocoils at 1050thin space°C and straight nanowires at 1100thin space°C. Cobalt nanoparticles remained morphologically highly anisotropic after the growth of nanocoils at 1050thin space°C, whereas they became predominately spherical after straight nanowires were made at 1100thin space°C. These results strongly indicated that cobalt nanoparticles responsible for the synthesis of straight nanowires were completely molten and that melting occurred to these nanoparticles between 1050 and 1100thin space°C.
