Cobalt Monoxide (Cobalt Oxide)

Cobalt monoxide is used as a sputtering target material to create thin films for magnetic storage media and gas sensors.

Used in the deposition of optical thin films to provide specific absorption characteristics and as a coloring agent in glass and ceramic coatings.

Serves as a precursor in the synthesis of lithium cobalt oxide (LiCoO2) for high-energy-density lithium-ion battery cathodes.

Produced in nanoparticle form for use in heterogeneous catalysis and as a magnetic material in nanotechnology applications.
