General description

Our cobalt (II) oxide nanopowder is a high-quality, fine powder with an particle size of 50 nm, a high surface area, and a purity greater than 99.5% (<5000 ppm trace metals impurities). It is a dark gray powder that is stable at room temperature and has excellent chemical and thermal stability.
We are committed to bringing you Greener Alternative Products, which belongs to one of the four categories of greener alternatives. This product has been enhanced for energy efficency. Click here for more information.

Application

Cobalt (II) oxide nanopowder is widely used in many industrial applications due to its unique physical and chemical properties. It is commonly used as a catalyst in chemical reactions such as the oxidation of hydrocarbons and the reduction of nitrogen oxides. In the field of energy storage, cobalt (II) oxide nanopowder is used in the fabrication of high-performance supercapacitors due to its high capacitance, fast charge-discharge characteristics, and excellent cycling stability. In addition, it is also used in the development of magnetic materials, including magnetic nanoparticles, and as a precursor for the synthesis of cobalt-based cathode materials for lithium-ion batteries.
