Description

Nickel Boride is an inorganic compound valued for its catalytic and hydrogenation properties. This material is particularly significant in industrial chemistry for its role as a selective hydrogenation catalyst and as a precursor for other nickel-boron materials. It is primarily utilized by manufacturers in the chemical synthesis, petrochemical, and specialty materials sectors for processes requiring controlled reduction reactions.

Application

• Selective hydrogenation catalyst in fine chemical and pharmaceutical synthesis.
• Catalyst for the hydrogenation of unsaturated organic compounds.
• Precursor material for the production of amorphous nickel-boron alloys.
• Component in electrodes and battery-related material research.
• Used in organic synthesis for desulfurization and denitrogenation reactions.
• Catalyst in fuel processing and reforming applications.

Quality Control

Our Nickel Boride is produced and tested under stringent quality management protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and performance reliability. Each lot is analyzed for key parameters including purity, particle size, and catalytic activity. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) documenting these results is provided with every shipment and is available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Due to its properties of being easily oxidized and hygroscopic, this material must be stored under an inert atmosphere (e.g., argon or nitrogen) in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area. Recommended storage temperature is 15-25°C. Keep container tightly sealed when not in use to minimize exposure to moisture and air.
