Industrial Uses

1. Metal Treatment

  • Electroplating: Nickel chloride is a key component in electroplating baths, where it serves as a source of nickel ions. These ions are reduced and deposited onto the surface of the workpiece, creating a nickel coating. The resulting nickel layer provides corrosion resistance, making the treated metal more durable and0 extending its lifespan.

2. Performance Chemicals

  • Catalysis: Nickel chloride acts as a catalyst in various chemical reactions, including hydrogenation and organic synthesis. In hydrogenation, it helps break down double or triple bonds in organic molecules, making them saturated.

3. Energy

  • Battery Manufacturing: Nickel chloride is a crucial ingredient in the production of nickel-metal hydride (NiMH) batteries. It is used as an electrolyte in these batteries and also as a starting material for the synthesis of nickel-based electrode materials.
