Abstract	A pathway for the formation of normal CoAl₂O₄ particles is suggested. The optimal amount of malonic acid was determined, and the characteristics of the obtained powders were investigated. Normal CoAl₂O₄ powders were prepared using solutions of malonic acid and metal nitrates. X-ray diffraction, Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) and scanning electron microscope (SEM) measurements, as well as Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) and ultraviolet/visible (UV-Vis) spectroscopy were carried out. Normal CoAl₂O₄ crystallites were formed by a solid state reaction between Co₂AlO₄and amorphous aluminum oxide. The optimal molar ratio of malonic acid to the nitrate anions present in the initial solution was found to be 0.30~0.35. The particles were composed of agglomerates of primary particles. The primary particles were 40 nm in size. This size was relatively constant regardless of the preparation temperature. However, the size of the agglomerated particles increased to 220 nm with increasing temperature.
