Abstract. Cobalt iodate crystals have been grown by gel aided technique employing sodium metasilicate. The grown crystals were analyzed XRD, FESEM, EDAX and FTIR. X-ray diffraction studies of the powdered sample reveal the hexagonal structure. Fourier transform Infra-red studies confirm the formation of iodate group with water of crystallization, while energy dispersive X-ray analysis established the presence of cobalt, iodine and oxygen in the sample.
