Product Description：

Properties and Usage:

Cobalt oxide is an important transition metal oxide that is widely used in many fields due to its versatility and efficient performance. It is commonly used in the production of cemented carbide, superalloys, insulating materials and magnetic materials, and plays a key role in the chemical industry as a catalyst and dye. The following are the main applications of cobalt oxide and their advantages:

Main application areas

Preparation of metallic cobalt and cobalt salts

Cobalt oxide is an important raw material for the production of cobalt cemented carbide. These alloys are widely used in cutting tools and high-temperature equipment due to their excellent hardness and wear resistance.

paint industry

Adding cobalt oxide when manufacturing paint can significantly improve the performance of the paint, especially as a drier, which can accelerate the drying speed of the paint and improve construction efficiency.

Enamel and Ceramics

Enamel materials added with cobalt oxide have excellent corrosion resistance and wear resistance. In building materials and daily ceramics, cobalt oxide is used as a blue pigment and glaze, giving ceramic products a bright blue color.

Battery materials

Cobalt oxides such as cobalt powder and cobalt oxide powder are used as additives in lithium-ion batteries, which can improve the proton conductivity of the battery, reduce the oxidation potential, and increase the oxygen evolution potential, thus improving the performance and life of the battery.

petroleum catalyst

Cobalt oxide serves as a catalyst in petroleum refining and is critical to speeding up the refining process. In recent years, cobalt oxide catalysts have been increasingly used in the petroleum industry, demonstrating their irreplaceable status.

Other uses

magnetic materials

Cobalt oxide is used to produce samarium cobalt alloys, which are widely used in making high-performance magnetic materials.

glass and paint

Cobalt oxide is an excellent colorant for glass and enamel. It can make the product appear dark blue and is often used to make blue or black enamel. In addition, it is also a key raw material for the production of cobalt blue, cobalt green and cyan pigments.

catalyst

In the chemical industry, cobalt oxide is widely used as a catalyst in various chemical reactions to improve reaction rate and efficiency.
