General description

Cobalt(II) nitrate hexahydrate is an inorganic compound soluble in water. It is used as a precursor for the synthesis of cobalt-containing ceramic materials, such as cobalt ferrites and cobalt-doped titanium dioxide, which have magnetic, electrical, and photocatalytic properties. In addition, it finds use in electrochemical applications, such as in lithium-ion battery cathodes and fuel cell catalysts, due to the redox activity.

Application

Cobalt(II) nitrate hexahydrate can be:      
  • Used as a precursor to synthesize nano-Co3O4 via direct thermal decomposition method for electrochemical water oxidation applications      
  • Used as a precursor to synthesize single-crystalline Co3O4 powders with controllable morphology for lithium-ion battery applications.      cobalt-containing nanomaterials, such as nano-Co3O4, with controlled size, shape, and morphology via sol-gel method.      
  • As a vital precursor to generate nickel-rich cathode materials (NMC, NCA) for lithium-ion batteries using co-precipitation process because of its simplicity, ease of scale-up, and ability to produce a homogeneous structure at the particle scale.

Cobalt(II) nitrate hexahydrate can be used as a:      
  • A starting material in the preparation of Co-based nanomaterials and Co complexes.      
  • A catalyst to synthesize 5-carboxanilide-dihydropyrimidinone derivatives via a three-component condensation reaction.     
  • A dopant to prepare LaCr1−xCoxO3 solid-solution ceramics for high temperature applications.

Features and Benefits

  • High purity with trace metal analysis (=< 15 ppm) for 32 elements, suitable for batteries.     
  • High water solubility ideal for synthesizing composites for various applications.
  • Low ppm levels of metal ions including Al, K, Na, Mg, Cu, Co, etc.

Questions

1–2 of 2 Questions  
  1. How can I determine the shelf life / expiration / retest date of this product?

    1 answer
    1. If this product has an expiration or retest date, it will be shown on the Certificate of Analysis (COA, CofA). If there is no retest or expiration date listed on the product's COA, we do not have suitable stability data to determine a shelf life. For these products, the only date on the COA will be the release date; a retest, expiration, or use-by-date will not be displayed.
      For all products, we recommend handling per defined conditions as printed in our product literature and website product descriptions. We recommend that products should be routinely inspected by customers to ensure they perform as expected.
      For products without retest or expiration dates, our standard warranty of 1 year from the date of shipment is applicable.
      For more information, please refer to the Product Dating Information document: https://www.sigmaaldrich.com/deepweb/assets/sigmaaldrich/marketing/global/documents/418/501/product-dating-information-06-25-mk.pdf

  2. How is shipping temperature determined? And how is it related to the product storage temperature?

    1 answer
    1. Products may be shipped at a different temperature than the recommended long-term storage temperature. If the product quality is sensitive to short-term exposure to conditions other than the recommended long-term storage, it will be shipped on wet or dry-ice. If the product quality is NOT affected by short-term exposure to conditions other than the recommended long-term storage, it will be shipped at ambient temperature. As shipping routes are configured for minimum transit times, shipping at ambient temperature helps control shipping costs for our customers. For more information, please refer to the Storage and Transport Conditions document: https://www.sigmaaldrich.com/deepweb/assets/sigmaaldrich/marketing/global/documents/316/622/storage-transport-conditions-mk.pdf
