Cobalt boride is an inorganic compound

Overview of cobalt boride CoB powder

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

Product performance of cobalt boride CoB powder

The chemical formula of cobalt boride is CoB and the molecular weight is 69.74. It is a prismatic orthorhombic crystal with strong magnetism. Cobalt boride is soluble in nitric acid and aqua regia, and decomposes in water.

How is cobalt boride and cobalt powder produced? 

Cobalt boride is produced at a temperature such as 1500°C. Cobalt boride coating is prepared on iron by boronization method. First, FeB and Fe2B coatings are introduced. Using the encapsulation and gluing process, the size of the cobalt-cobalt-boride nanoparticles deposited on the FeB coating is in the range of 18-22 nm.

The application of cobalt boride CoB powder

material science

As we all know, cobalt boride has special oxidation resistance, and this chemical property makes it very useful in the field of materials science. For example, studies have shown that when cobalt boride is used as a coating, it can increase the life of metal parts and give the surface higher corrosion and wear resistance. In the field of biomedicine, these characteristics have been used to design specialized drug delivery systems.

Renewable Energy

Cobalt boride is also being studied as a catalyst for hydrogen storage and fuel cell technology.

Organic Synthesis

Cobalt boride is also an effective hydrogenation catalyst for organic synthesis. In a study, it was found that cobalt boride is the most selective transition metal-based catalyst for the production of primary amines by nitrile reduction, even surpassing other cobalt-containing catalysts.
