This study investigated the flux pinning capability of Co3O4 in Bi-Sr-Ca-Cu-O superconductor tapes. The Bi-Sr-Ca-Cu-O powders were prepared by using the co-precipitation technique with the addition of Co3O4 as pinning centre to enhance the transport critical current density (Jc) of the system. The A...
