Nickel(II) nitrate hexahydrate

Description

Nickel (II) nitrate hexahydrate appears as green crystals and substantially soluble in water. It is stable, a strong oxidiser, and incompatible with reducing agents. It has wide industrial applications in nickel plating as catalysts and is indirectly associated with other industries of nickel alloy manufacturers, nickel miners, smelters and refiners, nickel platers, and exposure to alloys, for example, in coinage.

The Uses of Nickel(II) nitrate hexahydrate

Nickel plating, manufacturing of ceramic colorsNickel(II) nitrate hexahydrate is used as a precursor in the manufacturing of other nickel salts and supported nickel catalysts. It finds use as a catalyst in organic synthesis. Further it is used in electroplating and as a mordent in textile dyeing. It is a precursor for preparing nickel sulfide-reduced graphene oxide (RGO) composite powders with high initial capacities and good cycling performance. It can be employed in the preparation of nickel and nickel oxide nanocrystals impregnated O-MWCNTs (oxygen-functionalized multi-walled carbon nanotubes) with potential applications in semiconductor industries. It finds use in improving cycling stability ad rate capability of Li2MnO3.
