The effect of different nanosized Co3O4 (10, 30, and 50 nm) addition on the Bi1.6Pb0.4Sr2Ca2Cu3O10(Co3O4)x superconductor
with x=0–0.05 wt.% has been investigated using X-ray diffraction
method, scanning electron microscopy, transition temperature, and critical current density Jc measurements. The samples were prepared by the conventional solid-state reaction method. Samples with x=0.01 wt.% Co3O4 (10 nm) showed the highest Tc-zero at 102 K. The highest Jc was observed in the x=0.03 wt.% Co3O4 (10 nm) and x=0.02 wt.% Co3O4 (30 nm) samples.
