| Application: | Nickel(II) nitrate hexahydrate, 99.999% trace metals basis can be used in the research areas to develop nickel-cadmium (NiCd) and nickel-metal hydride (NiMH) batteries. Nickel(II) nitrate hexahydrate is a precursor for nickel hydroxide, which is a key component of the electrodes of these batteries. Nickel(II) nitrate hexahydrate is used in electroplating processes to deposit a thin layer of nickel onto a substrate, providing corrosion resistance, enhanced appearance, and improved mechanical properties. Nickel(II) nitrate hexahydrate is employed in the preparation of nickel oxide (NiO) nanoparticles and other nickel-based nanomaterials. These materials have applications in energy storage, sensors, and catalysis. Nickel(II) nitrate hexahydrate is commonly used as a precursor in the synthesis of nickel-based catalysts. These catalysts are utilized in various chemical reactions, including hydrogenation, oxidation, and reforming processes in the petrochemical industry. In addition, it can be used: • As an additive in the fabrication of cellulose acetate polymers(CA) to control the porosity of the polymer. The formation of Ni(NO3)2.6H2O aggregates in the polymer matrix during solidification and the strong interaction between Ni, nitrate, and water molecules results in the formation of well-defined pores on the surface of the CA matrix. • As a starting material to prepare nickel(ii) Schiff base, which is used as a precursor to synthesize NiO nanoparticles by solid-state thermal decomposition method. • As a dopant to prepare Ni-Ceria catalyst for selective hydrogenation of acetylene. • As a catalyst to prepare 3,4-dihydropyrimidinone derivatives via Biginelli cyclocondensation. |
| Features and Benefits: | • Exceptional Purity: The 99.999% purity of Nickel(II) nitrate hexahydrate minimizes contamination from trace metals, ensuring suitability for applications sensitive to even minute impurities. • Consistent Performance: Ultra-high purity guarantees consistent performance across various applications, reducing variability and enhancing reliability. • High Purity Standard: Ideal as a standard or reagent for trace metal analysis and high-precision analytical techniques, ensuring accurate and reliable results. |
| General description: | Nickel(II) nitrate hexahydrate, 99.999% trace metals basis is a highly pure (99.999%), with trace metal content ≤ 15.0 ppm. The product is designed for R&D applications of high-precision processes. It is suitable for use in a wide range of applications in catalysis, material science, electronics, electroplating, battery technology, chemical synthesis, analytical chemistry, and the production of pigments and coatings. |
