Cadmium Oxide - 99.9% Purity, Brown Color, 8.15 G/cm³ Density | High Performance In Electroplating And Photodegradation Applications

Cadmium Oxide - CDO

Cadmium
Oxide in the form of thin films has been used in applications such as
Photodiodes, Phototransistors, Photovoltaic Cells, Transparent
Electrodes, Liquid Crystal Displays, IR Detectors, and Anti
Reflection Coatings. CDO microparticles undergo bandgap excitation
when exposed to UV-A light and is also selective in phenol Photodegradation.

Cadmium
Oxide is used in cadmium plating baths, Electrodes for Storage Batteries, Cadmium Salts, Catalyst, Ceramic Glazes, Phosphors, and Nematocide. Major uses for Cadmium Oxide is as an ingredient for
electroplating baths and in pigments. Most commercial electroplating
of cadmium is done by electrodeposition from Cyanide baths. These
cyanide baths consist of cadmium oxide and sodium cyanide in water,
which likely form Cadmium Cyanide and Sodium Hydroxide. A typical
formula is 32 G/L Cadmium Oxide and 75 G/L Sodium Cyanide. The Cadmium concentration may vary by as much as 50%. Brighteners are
usually added to the bath and the plating is done at room temperature
with high purity Cadmium Anode.
