Industrial Uses

1. Metal Treatment

  • Electroplating: Nickel nitrate is a key ingredient in electroplating solutions, where it acts as a source of nickel ions. By passing an electric current through a nickel nitrate solution, a thin layer of nickel metal can be deposited onto another metal object, providing corrosion resistance, decorative finish, or other desired properties. This process is used to create nickel coatings on various metal parts and products.

2. Performance Chemicals

  • Heterogeneous Catalysis: Nickel nitrate is used to impregnate supports like alumina, which are then pyrolyzed to create Raney nickel or Urushibara nickel catalysts. 
  • Catalysts for Organic Reactions: Nickel nitrate is used to prepare catalysts for alcohol oxidation and organic compound hydrogenation. 
  • Nickel-containing Materials: Nickel nitrate is a starting material for synthesizing various nickel-containing compounds, such as nickel oxide nanoparticles. 
  • Nickel-impregnated Catalysts: It's used to create catalysts with high surface area and catalytic activity.

3. Energy

  • Nickel-based batteries: Nickel nitrate is a crucial ingredient in the production of nickel-cadmium (NiCd) and nickel-metal hydride (NiMH) batteries, which are known for their high energy density and long lifespan. 
  • Perovskite solar cells: Nickel nitrate is used to modify nickel oxide (NiOx) layers in perovskite solar cells, improving their efficiency and long-term stability by reducing defects and optimizing charge transport.
