It crystallizes in a cubic rocksalt lattice like sodium chloride, with octahedral cation and anion centers. It occurs naturally as the rare mineral monteponite. Cadmium oxide is an n-type semiconductor with a band gap of 2.16 eV at room temperature. Cadmium monoxide is mainly used in the ceramic industry as a pigment or as a catalyst in the dehydrogenation reactions of alcohol. Cadmium oxide is used as an additive in electrolytic baths.</p> </div> </div> <div class="large-6 medium-12 small-12 columns"> <div class="scheda-block"> <h3>Classification</h3> <p>Request safety data sheet (SDS) and refer to points 4, 5, 6, 8, 10,13, 14, 15.
