Cobalt (II)chloride hexahydrate is widely used for the synthesis of Cobalt nanoparticles , for genotoxicity and morphological transformation of mouse fibroblasts, metal complex with phenyl(carboxymethyl) phosphinic acid which creates an infinite 2D architecture , and Cobalt(II) Triazolate Magnet which is a hybrid molecule which has applications in catalysis, opticals, membranes, and sorption. Cobalt-phosphate (Co-Pi) was synthesised as an efficient molecular catalyst for O₂ production via visible light-driven water oxidation using Cobalt(II)chloride hexahydrate. Additionally, nanorod-assembled Co₃O₄ hexapods were synthesised using Cobalt (II)chloride hexahydrate via a simple hydrothermal method followed by thermal treatment on copper foil. These Co₃O₄ hexapods on copper foil demonstrated a very high reversible capacity when used as an anode for lithium-ion batteries.
