An efficient microwave-hydrothermal (MAH) method has been developed for the synthesis of highly crystalline Co3O4 spinel nanocubes via beta-Co(OH)(2) without any surfactant assistance. The structure and surface chemical composition along the growth process are studied. The effects as well as the merits of the MAH method on the processing and characteristics of obtained Co3O4 spinel nanocubes are highlighted
