(Cobalt Boride CoB Powder CAS 12619-68-0)

Overview of Cobalt Boride CoB Powder

Cobalt boride is an inorganic compound whose general formula is CoxBy. The two main types of cobalt boride are Cob and Co2B. These are refractory materials. Prismatic rhombic crystal. Cobalt boride is highly magnetic. Soluble in nitric acid, aqua regia.Decompose in water. When used as a catalyst, cobalt boride is prepared by reducing cobalt salts such as cobalt nitrate (II) with sodium borohydride. Before reduction, the surface area of the catalyst is maximized by supporting the salt on another material; Usually, this material is activated carbon.
