Cobalt(II) oxide is an inorganic compound that has been described as an olive-green[3] or gray[4] solid. It is used extensively in the ceramics industry as an additive to create blue-colored glazes and enamels, as well as in the chemical industry for producing cobalt(II) salts. A related material is cobalt(II,III) oxide, a black solid with the formula Co3O4.

Structure and properties

CoO crystals adopt the periclase (rock salt) structure with a lattice constant of 4.2615 Å.[5]

It is antiferromagnetic below 289 K.[6]

Preparation

Cobalt(II) oxide is prepared by oxidation of cobalt powder with air or by thermal decomposition of cobalt(II) nitrate or the carbonate.[3][4]

Cobalt(II,III) oxide decomposes to cobalt(II) oxide at 950 °C:[7]

2 Co3O4 → 6 CoO + O2

It may also be prepared by precipitating the hydroxide, followed by thermal dehydration:Script error: No such module "Unsubst".

CoX2 + 2 KOH → Co(OH)2 + 2 KX
Co(OH)2 → CoO + H2O

Reactions

As can be expected, cobalt(II) oxide reacts with mineral acids to form the corresponding cobalt salts:Script error: No such module "Unsubst".

CoO + 2 HX → CoX2 + H2O

Applications

Cobalt(II) oxide has for centuries been used as a coloring agent on kiln fired pottery. The additive provides a deep shade of blue named cobalt blue. The band gap (CoO) is around 2.4 eV.Script error: No such module "Unsubst". It also is used in cobalt blue glass.
