Cadmium oxide

Cadmium oxide (CdO) is a yellowish to reddish-brown inorganic compound known for its semiconductor properties. With a density of 8.15 g/mL at 25 °C, CdO serves as a versatile reagent and catalyst in various chemical reactions. It is primarily used in the production of cadmium-based materials and as a catalyst in organic synthesis. Cadmium oxide is also utilized in the manufacturing of glass and ceramics, where it contributes to color and opacity. Our high-purity cadmium oxide powder, with a purity of 99.5% trace metals basis, is particularly valuable for applications that require minimal impurities.
