Cupric (II) Oxide

Cupric (II) Oxide Powder is a black monoclinic crystal or black to brownish black amorphous crystalline powder, insoluble in water and alcohol, soluble in dilute acids, etc. It has a wide range of applications as analytical reagent, oxidizing agent, catalyst, and is also used in ceramic and glass coloring, battery manufacturing, petroleum desulphurization, welding and other fields.

VIMATERIAL produces Cupric (II) Oxide powder with purity ranging from 99.9% to 99.995%, from nanopowder to micronized powder. Our quality control is very strict, with all-around quality checks on every batch and every product. For all raw materials can be traced back to the root cause.contact us.

Applications

Battery industry: It is one of the most important raw materials for the manufacture of batteries, for example, it plays a role in zinc-copper batteries.

Petrochemical industry: as a petroleum desulfurizer, effectively removing sulfur in petroleum.

Catalytic field: commonly used as a catalyst for organic synthesis reactions, such as in the oxidation of alcohols as a catalyst.

Electronic materials: can be used to prepare semiconductor materials, superconducting materials, etc., with unique electrical properties.

Optical field: as polishing agent for optical glass, used to improve the surface quality and optical properties of optical glass.

Quality Control

Each batch of products will be tested for composition, particle size and other characteristics and an inspection report will be issued, and samples of each batch of products will be provided to customers for re-inspection. Third party inspection is also available upon request.

Packaging and Storage

We use double vacuum bags or double vacuum bottles with a minimum capacity of 50g.

Cupric (II) Oxide powders should be stored in a dry, well-ventilated environment, away from fire, heat and acids, and should be sealed to avoid moisture and contact with other potentially reactive substances, as well as labeled and protected in accordance with relevant safety regulations.
