Chemical Properties:
Cobalt Oxide nanoparticles are a mixed valence compound of Co (II) and Co (III). They are soluble in nitric acid, readily absorb moisture but do not form water compounds. Upon heating above 1200 °C, they decompose into sub-cobalt oxides.
Applications:
Cobalt Oxide nanoparticles have applications in electronics, ceramics, and catalysis. It is used in lithium ion battery as electrode material, and in other electrochemical cells as electrode active material. It is used in semiconductors, temperature and gas sensors and in electronic ceramics. Cobalt Oxide nanoparticles applied in solar energy as solar energy absorber. It is added to glass and porcelain as colorant and pigments. In catalysis, it is used as oxidant and catalyst for organic synthesis and catalyst carrier in chemical industry.
