Description

Nickel(II) Formate Dihydrate is a high-purity inorganic salt of nickel and formic acid, supplied as a fine crystalline solid. This compound serves as a critical precursor in the synthesis of high-performance nickel-based catalysts and functional materials, where precise stoichiometry and purity are paramount. It is essential for manufacturers and R&D laboratories in the chemical catalyst, electronics, and specialty chemical industries seeking a reliable source for consistent material performance.

Application

• Catalyst Precursor: A key starting material for the preparation of nickel catalysts used in hydrogenation, methanation, and reforming reactions.
• Electroless Nickel Plating: Used in formulating baths for depositing uniform nickel-phosphorus or nickel-boron coatings on metals, plastics, and ceramics.
• Chemical Synthesis: Acts as a nickel source in the synthesis of other nickel complexes, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), and advanced inorganic materials.
• Fuel Cell & Battery Research: Investigated as a component or precursor for electrodes and catalytic layers in energy conversion and storage devices.
• Ceramic & Pigment Manufacturing: Employed in the production of specialty ceramics, glasses, and inorganic pigments where nickel incorporation is required.
• Laboratory Reagent: Serves as a standardized analytical reagent and a pure nickel source for research and development in academic and industrial settings.

Quality Control

Our Nickel(II) Formate Dihydrate is manufactured under a stringent quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure it meets precise chemical and physical specifications. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, assay, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and compliance with your project requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect product quality and handling properties.
