Cobalt(II) carbonate hydroxide（Cat No.:M057618）is an inorganic compound composed of cobalt in the +2 oxidation state, combined with carbonate and hydroxide anions. Typically appearing as a pink to reddish solid, it is often encountered as a basic cobalt carbonate with variable stoichiometry. This compound is primarily used as a precursor in the production of cobalt-based catalysts, pigments, ceramics, and battery materials. It plays a significant role in the preparation of cobalt oxides and other cobalt salts through thermal decomposition or chemical processing. Cobalt(II) carbonate hydroxide must be handled carefully due to cobalt’s potential toxicity.
