“…Cobalt borides are compounds with the general formula Co x B y ; two main representatives are CoB and Co 2 B. It is known that cobalt(II) borides exhibit excellent catalytic activity in the production of hydrogen [ 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 ] and oxygen [ 7 , 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 ], in the liquid phase hydrogenation of citral [ 14 , 15 ], and can be used as anode materials in batteries [ 16 , 17 ].…”
